Are Man and This World Incompatible?
English book, p. 4
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
ARE MAN AND THIS WORLD INCOMPATIBLE? Why do man and the present world seem so mutually incompatible? To solve this conundrum, we need to understand the creation plan of God. A philosopher once remarked that it appears to be that in this vast universe, man is a strange creature. It seems that man has not been made for this world, nor has this world been made for him. Man and the world seem to be mutually incompatible. Man is born with immense abilities. However, he uses only a minimal portion of these in this present world. By nature, man wants to live forever. However, death arrives quickly without his permission and whisks him away by a unilateral decision. Man has an ocean of desires in his heart, but not all of these desires are fulfilled. Every man’s mind is a world of dreams, but not all dreams come true. In this regard, there is no difference between ‘rich’ and ‘poor’ people. As the philosopher mentioned above seems to assert, all this may be thought to suggest that man has come into a world that has not been made for him. Why do man and the present world seem so mutually incompatible? To solve this conundrum, we need to understand the creation plan of God. This question of man and the world looking so inconsistent arises because of not knowing the creation plan of God. Therefore, we can obtain a satisfactory answer by learning God’s creation plan for man.
