CREATION PLAN OF GOD

no other such example can be found throughout the vastness of the cosmos. Man is rightly called the ‘best of all creations,’ which means the best and most meaningful ‘being’ among all the things created. Such a ‘meaningful being’ cannot have been created without a purpose. The Creator of man has created him according to a special Plan. The Quran, the only preserved religious scripture, sheds light on this Plan. Enthroned above the waters, it was He who created the heavens and the earth in six Days [periods], in order to test which of you is best in conduct. (The Quran, 11: 7) We have adorned the earth with attractive things, so that We may test humankind as to which one is best in conduct. (The Quran, 18: 7) He created death and life so that He might test you, and find out which of you is best in conduct. (The Quran, 67: 2)
