The Creation Plan of God
English book, p. 232
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
THE CREATION PLAN OF GOD According to the Quran, man was created as an eternal being and his life divided into two parts: a pre-death period where he can qualify for Paradise and the post-death period to be settled in eternal paradise, if he proves himself as a deserving candidate. E veryone asks the same questions: Who am I? Why I am here on this planet earth? What is the purpose of man? What is success and what is failure? These questions may be summed up in a single sentence: What is the creation plan of the Creator? Chapter sixty-seven of the Quran, Al-Mulk (The Kingdom), gives the answer to this question. The translation of the relevant verse is as follows: God created death and life so that He might test you, and find out which of you is best in conduct. He is the Mighty, the Most Forgiving One. (67:2)
