The Creation Plan of God

English book, p. 71

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

The Creation Plan of God he should try to understand the creation plan of God and, accepting that, build his life accordingly. By misusing his freedom in this present world, he can deviate from the divine plan, but he cannot save himself from the consequences thereof. And in such a situation, it is in the interests of everyone to be extremely prudent in determining the course his or her life will take. Instead of being guided by his own wishes a person should be guided by God’s will. Instead of chasing after his desires, he should lead a life in accordance with divine principles. Every human being is a divine creation, but at the same time, he is subject to the creation plan of God. It is in acceding to this that he will discover the secret of human progress. Just as humans have achieved success in building a modern industrial civilization by discovering the laws of nature and making use of them, so also, in the next eternal world humans will have a greater success only when they place God’s creation plan for humanity in the right perspective and then adopt that plan for building their lives here in this world.
