The Quran explains not only the existence of man, but also the misadventures that he faces in this world. It gives great meaning to all the good and the bad in life. Man is born with unique qualities, he is born with unlimited desires, his mind has enormous capacity but, before realising his potential and before fulfilling his desires, his life comes to an end. This divine scheme gives man great hope, the present world may be one of problems, for in this world there are sorrows, pains and unwanted situations. But the divine scheme of life prescribed in the Quran gives us a great solace. Given his often untimely demise, man seems to be an inexplicable phenomenon, but in the light of the above divine scheme, human life becomes understandable. Keeping this in mind, one sees how everything falls into place. o Gratefulness From birth , all factors of life are made available to us in a perfectly balanced manner.
