In the past, this compensation was adopted on a lower level, now humans are adopting it on a higher level. It’s as if even the denier of God, when seeing the world of compensation, realizes that the arrangement for minor weakness is made with great compensation. The modern era, in one respect, is a time of superior management of compensation for weakness. In this era of superior management, the door to superior atheism has opened when the chapter of superior realization of God should have been unlocked. During the times of the prophets, arrangements for compensation for weakness were made on a miraculous level. Now, there is a shower of blessings through medicine and science. Humans have found a solution for almost every problem. If there is pain, there is its medicine. However, human beings have generally failed to realize that the support system to produce medicine is provided by the Creator. When He gave humans the ability to discover, they found the cure but lived with the feeling that “I created, I discovered, I solved”. The Quran clearly mentions the creation of humans and their weaknesses. The wisdom in this is what makes humans self-discovering and keeps them moving on the path of progress through challenging conditions. We have created man into a life of toil and trial (90: 4) Man has been created weak. (4: 28) Man is a creature of haste. (21: 37) And regarding its compensation, these are the relevant Quranic references: He has given you all that you asked of Him; and if you try to reckon up God’s favours, you will not be able to count them. Truly man is very unjust, very ungrateful. (14: 34) Today, there is a need to take the advancements of the modern era positively and use them for realization of God. This is the test of gratitude for every human being. o Humans have found a solution for almost every problem. If there is pain, there is its medicine. However, human beings have generally failed to realize that the support system to produce medicine is provided by the Creator.
