Spirit of Islam, Sept-Oct 2025

A t this moment, I want to speak on the subject of the Creation Plan of God. If you search the internet for how many books are available online, you will find about five million books on different subjects. But if you search for books on the Creation Plan of God, you will find less than a dozen. Among them, two are written by me; remaining are by other writers. Now think—such a big question: What is the Creation Plan of God? When I was born into this world, the first thing to think about was: Why did God create me? Yet there are so few books on this! I kept thinking about this, and I came to the conclusion that the life we have been given is taken for granted. People take the sun for granted, air for granted, oxygen for granted, water for granted. They don’t think deeply about them. Just imagine—if a person were in a galaxy, born there, seeing only stars around, with no greenery, no water—nothing of what we see every day—and then suddenly he travelled and landed on planet Earth, every single thing here would appear mind-boggling: the solar system, the water, the trees, even the grass. You would wonder: Who made the sun? How was it made? But because we see the world every morning as soon as we wake up, and we experience day and night as a normal routine, we take it all for granted. If you think: How was I made? How were my nails formed? How did my hair grow? How was my speaking ability created? How CREATION PLAN OF GOD This is an English translation of a lecture Maulana Wahiduddin Khan delivered on April 30, 2016 In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful What a beautiful plan the Creator has made! Life here is short—about 70 years. You have to prove yourself in those 70 years, after which you will receive life for eternity.
