has become possible that such natural phenomena can be explained through human intelligence. This scientific revolution that was to come had been predicted in the Quran (41: 53). There are countless and diverse things in the universe. Study shows that all these things are a result of conversion, that is, a change from one form to another form. In Prophet Moses’ time, a thing that was not a serpent was changed into a serpent; matter was changed into a different form of matter. This is the same phenomenon that transpires with everything else in this universe. Here, solid is being converted into liquid, liquid to solid, gases into liquids and vice versa, and gases into other gases. Energy is being converted into matter; matter is being converted into energy. In the same way, a tree grows out of a seed, a fruit comes forth from a flower, a chick emerges from an egg, and a butterfly is metamorphosed from a chrysalis. Change or conversion is a law of nature. In the order of nature, this act of conversion is universal and allpervading. It is a proof of the existence of God and of His power. What is meant by conversion in the universe is actually intervention. Things that come into existence by conversion prove an intervention. When the act of intervention is proved, then the existence of the intervener is also proved. God is only the other name of this Intervener. o "Whoever persists in being patient, God will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience." (Sahih Bukhari)
