The Missing Item of Creation

English book, p. 351

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

The Missing Item of Creation layers. You will not find any flaw in the creation of the Gracious One. Then look once again: can you see any flaw? Then look again and again. Your gaze will come back to you confused and exhausted. (67:3-4). Long scientific research has only confirmed the veracity of this statement. Science acknowledges that the universe has been intelligently designed and that there is no defect at all in the vast universe. But apparently, there is one “defect” in the universe. And that has also been mentioned in the Quran. A verse in the chapter Al-Dhariyat (Scattering Winds) says: We created pairs of all things so that you may ponder over it. (51:49). Here, “pair” means complementary part. Study of nature tells us that everything has its counterpart in this world, be it the material world, the plant world or the animal world. Due to this, every entity in the world is, as though, living with satisfaction. Man’s high hopes cannot be fulfilled except in an eternal habitat. God Almighty has prepared this eternal habitat for man in some place in the vast universe, just as He has created the present temporary world. However, man lives in discontentment. Because, man is the only such feature of this world whose counterpart is missing. Every animal and plant is provided with its natural habitat, and they live in it with total contentment. But among all creatures man is an exception: he is deprived of his true habitat. It is due to this deprivation that man always lives in discontentment and unhappiness. Every human being dies as a case of lack of fulfilment.
