Leading A Spiritual Life

English book, p. 128

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Building an institution without first laying a solid foundation is like building sandcastles, which soon crumble away. The Concept of God Scientists have only discovered the creation. But the discovery of the Creator also occurs along with the discovery of the creation. M any people who call themselves ‘secular’ claim that God has no real existence. “God is a great invention of man,” they say. The fact, however, is that man is a great creation of God! Since ancient times, philosophers have been discussing the question of the existence of God, but they have been unable to arrive at any conclusive position on the matter. Galileo and Newton ushered in a new, scientific way of thinking. God is not the subject of science. Scientists say their subject of study is ‘Nature’. But what is nature? It is simply another name for the creation. In other words, science is the study of nature without reference to God. In Newton’s time, scientists believed that the universe had a ‘mechanical design’. Later, Ernest Rutherford discovered that the universe had a ‘meaningful design’.
