1 – Creator of EverythingGod is the best and the greatest creator. He is the Only One who is the Originator and the creator of the Universe, the heavens and the earth, and of everything which is visible or invisible to human eye and which is known or unknown to man. He created sun, stars, moon, planets, satellites and every other thing in the heavens and the earth. Night and day, light and darkness, air and wind, storms and clouds, rain and water, oceans and rivers, mountains and hills, flowing streams and gushing springs, glaciers and icebergs, life and death are all His creations. Plants, gardens fruits, vegetables, corn, crops, vineyards, date-palms, forests, trees, are all His handiwork. He created Angels of light, Jinn of fire and man of potter’s clay of black mud altered. Animals, cattle, horses, beasts, birds, fish, milk, honey, fire, are all His creatures. He created all things in pairs and created life of water. In the following Verses, the Qur’an highlights how everything has been created by the Lord of the Cosmos:
1. The
Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decreeth a thing, He
saith unto it only: Be! and it is.
2. O
mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a
single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath
spread abroad a multitude of men and women. Be careful of your duty
toward Allah in Whom ye claim (your rights) of one another, and toward
the wombs (that bore you). Lo! Allah hath been a Watcher over you. 3. Lo! Your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then mounted He the Throne. He covereth the night with the day, which is in haste to follow it, and hath made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His command. His verily is all creation and commandment. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds! ––7: AL–A’raf: 54 4. And He it is Who sendeth the winds as tidings heralding His mercy, till, when they bear a cloud heavy (with rain), We lead it to a dead land, and then cause water to descend thereon and thereby bring forth fruits of every kind. Thus bring We forth the dead. Haply ye may remember. ––7: AL–A’raf: 57
5. Allah
is it who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted
the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each
runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth
the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your
Lord. 6. Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth, and causeth water to descend from the sky, thereby producing fruits as food for you, and maketh the ships to be of service unto you, that they may run upon the sea at His command, and hath made of service unto you the rivers; ––14: Ibrahim: 32
7.
Verily
We created man of potter’s clay of black mud altered, And the Jinn did
We create aforetime of essential fire. 8. He hath created the heavens and the earth with truth. High be He exalted above all that they associate (with Him). He hath created man from a drop of fluid, yet behold! He is an open opponent. And the cattle hath He created, whence ye have warm clothing and uses, and whereof ye eat; And wherein is beauty for you, when ye bring them home, and when ye take them out to pasture. And they bear your loads for you unto a land ye could not reach save with great trouble to yourselves. Lo! your Lord is Full of Pity. Merciful. And horses and mules and asses (hath He created) that ye may ride them, and for ornament. And He createth that which ye know not. And Allah’s is the direction of the way, and some (roads) go not straight. And had He willed He would have led you all aright. He it is Who sendeth down water from the sky, whence ye have drink, and whence are trees on which ye send your beasts to pasture. Therewith He causeth crops to grow for you, and the olive and the date-palm and grapes and all kinds of fruit. Lo! herein is indeed a portent for people who reflect. And he hath constrained the night and the day and the sun and the moon to be of service unto you, and the stars are made subservient by His command. Lo! herein indeed are portents for people who have sense. ––16: An–Nahl: 3-12
9. Have
not those who disbelieve know that the heavens and the earth were of
one piece, then We parted them, and We made every living thing of
water? Will they not then believe?
10.
And We
have created above you seven paths, and We are never unmindful of
creation. And We send down from the sky water in measure, and We give
it lodging in the earth, and lo! We are able to withdraw it. Then We
produce for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapes, wherein is
much fruit for you and whereof ye eat; And a tree that springeth forth
from Mount Sinai that groweth oil and relish for the eaters. 11. Allah hath created every animal of water. Of them is (a kind) that goeth upon its belly and (a kind) that goeth upon two legs and (a kind) that goeth upon four. Allah createth what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things. ––24: An–Nur: 45
12.
Who
made all things good which He created, and He began the creation of
man from clay; 13. Allah is Creator of all things, and He is Guardian over all things. ––39: Az–Zumar: 62
14.
Say (O
Muhammad, unto the idolaters): Disbelieve ye verily in Him Who created
the earth in two Days, and ascribe ye unto Him rivals? He (and none
else) is the Lord of the World.
15.
We have
built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent
(thereof).
16.
Have ye
observed the fire which ye strike out;
17.
Who
hath created life and death that He may try you, which of you is best
in conduct; and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving.
18.
Have We
not made the earth an expanse, 2 – Creation of the Heavens and the EarthFollowing verses of the Qur’an bring into light how God created the heavens and the earth: 1. Lo! in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of beast therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah's sovereignty) for people who have sense. —2:Al–Baqarah: 164 2. Lo! Your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then mounted He the Throne. He covereth the night with the day, which is in haste to follow it, and hath made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient by His command. His verily is all creation and commandment. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the Worlds! —7: Al–A'raf: 54 3. Lo! Your Lord is Allah Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then He established Himself upon the Throne, directing all things. There is no intercessor (with Him) save after His permission. That is Allah, your Lord, so worship Him. Oh, will ye not remind? —10: Yunus: 3 4. Allah it is Who raised up the heavens without visible supports, then mounted the Throne, and compelled the sun and the moon to be of service, each runneth unto an appointed term; He ordereth the course; He detaileth the revelations, that haply ye may be certain of the meeting with your Lord. And He it is who spread out the earth and placed therein firm hills and flowing streams, and of all fruits he placed therein two spouses (male and female). He covereth the night with the day. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought. —13: Ar–Ra'd: 2-3 5. And verily in the heaven We have set mansions of the stars, and We have beautified it for beholders. —15: Al–Hijr:16 6. And the earth have We spread out, and placed therein firm hills, and caused each seemly thing to grow therein. And We have given unto you livelihoods therein, and unto those for whom ye provide not. —15: Al–Hijr: 19-20
7.
And He hath cast into the earth firm
hills that it quake not with you, and streams and roads that ye may
find a way.
8.
Have not those who disbelieve known that
the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and
We made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe? And
We have placed in the earth firm hills lest it quake with them, and We
have placed therein ravines as roads that haply they may find their
way. And We have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they
turn away from its portents. 9. He hath created the heavens without supports that ye can see, and hath cast into the earth firm hills, so that it quake not with you; and He hath dispersed therein all kinds of beasts. And We send down water from the sky and We cause (plants) of every goodly kind to grow therein. —31: Luqman: 10
10.
Lo! Allah graspeth the heavens and the
earth that they deviate not, and if they were to deviate there is not
one that could grasp them after Him. Lo! He is ever Clement,
Forgiving. 11. Say (0 Muhammad, unto the idolaters): Disbelieve ye verily in Him Who created the earth in two Days, and ascribe ye unto Him rivals? He (and none else) is the Lord of the Worlds. He placed therein firm hills rising above it, and blessed it and measured therein its sustenance in four Days, alike for (all) who ask; Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke, and said unto it and unto the earth: Come both of you, willingly or loth. They said: We come, obedient. Then He ordained them seven heavens in two Days and inspired in each heaven its mandate; and we decked the nether heaven with lamps, and rendered it inviolable. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Knower. —41: Ha Mim As–Sajdah: 9-12 12. Have they not then observed the sky above them, how We have constructed it and beautified it, and how there are no rifts therein? And the earth have We spread out, and have flung firm hills therein, and have caused of every lovely kind to grow thereon, A vision and a reminder for every penitent slave. And We send down from the sky blessed water whereby We give growth unto gardens and the grain of crops. And lofty date-palms with ranged clusters. Provision (made) for men; and therewith We quicken a dead land. Even so will be the resurrection of the dead. —50: Qaf: 6-11
13.
Who hath created seven heavens in
harmony. Thou (Muhammad) canst see no fault in the Beneficent One's
creation; then look again: Canst thou see any rifts? Then look again
and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee weakened and made dim.
And verily We have beautified the world's heaven with lamps, and We
have made them missiles for the devils, and for them We have prepared
the doom of flame. 3 – Sun, Moon, Stars and the PlanetsCreation of sun, moon, stars and planets is highlighted by the following Verses of Al-Qur’an: 1. He it is who appointed the sun a splendour and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people who have knowledge. —10: Yunus: 5
2. And
verily in the heaven We have set mansions of the stars, and We have
beautified it for beholders. And We have guarded it from every outcast
devil, Save him who stealeth the hearing, and them doth a clear flame
pursue.
3. And
He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon.
They float, each in an orbit. 4. Hast thou not seen how Allah causeth the night to pass into the day and causeth the day to pass into the night, and hath subdued the sun and the moon (to do their work), each running unto an appointed term; and that Allah is Informed of what ye do? —31: Luqman: 29
5. And
the sun runneth on unto a resting-place for him. That is the measuring
of the Mighty, the Wise. And for the moon We have appointed mansions
till she return like an old shrivelled palm-leaf. It is not for the
sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They
float each in an orbit. 6. Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets; 37: As–Saffat: 6 4 – Day and Night, Months and Years1. Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth and (in) the difference of night and day are tokens (of His sovereignty) for men of understanding, —3:Al–Imran: 190 2. He is the Cleaver of the Daybreak, and He hath appointed the night for stillness, and the sun and the moon for reckoning That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise. —6: Al–An'am: 96 3. Lo! the number of the months with Allah is twelve months by Allah's ordinance in the day that He created the heavens and the earth. —9: At–Taubah: 36 4. He it is Who appointed the sun a splendour and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning. Allah created not (all) that save in truth. He detaileth the revelations for people who have knowledge. —10: Yunus: 5 5. He it is who hath appointed for you the night that ye should rest therein and the day giving sight. Lo! herein verily are portents for a folk that heed. —10: Yunus: 67 6. And We appoint the night and the day two portents. Then We make dark the portent of the night, and We make the portent of the day sight-giving, that ye may seek bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know the computation of the years, and the reckoning; and everything have We expounded with a clear expounding. —17: Bani Isra'il: 12 7. And He it is Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They float, each in an orbit. —21: Al–Anbiya: 33 8. Allah causeth the revolution of the day and the night. Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for those who see. —24: An–Nur: 44 9. Say: Have ye thought, if Allah made night everlasting for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is a God beside Allah who could bring you light? Will ye not then hear? Say: Have ye thought, if Allah made day everlasting for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is a God beside Allah who could bring you night wherein ye rest? Will ye not then see? Of His mercy hath He appointed for you night and day, that therein ye may rest, and that ye may seek His bounty, and that haply ye may be thankful. —28: Al–Qasas: 71-73 10. He hath created the heavens and the earth with truth. He maketh night to succeed day, and He maketh day to succeed night, and He constraineth the sun and the moon to give service, each running on for an appointed term. Is not He the Mighty, the Forgiver? —39: Az–Zumar: 5 11. And have appointed the night as a cloak, And have appointed the day for livelihood. —78: An–Naba': 10-11 5 – Water, Clouds, Rain and WindsThe Qur’an in its following Verses tells us how God sends winds and clouds, how rain falls on earth and how water revives the dead earth and causes all types of vegetation and plants to grow: 1. Lo. In the creation of the heaven and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah’s sovereignty) for people who have sense. —2: Al–Baqarah: 164 2. And He it is who sendeth the winds as tidings heralding His mercy, till, when they bear a cloud heavy (with rain), We lead it to a dead land, and then cause water to descend thereon and thereby bring forth fruits of every kind. Thus bring We forth the dead. Haply ye may remember. —7: Al–A’raf: 57 3. He it is Who showeth you the lightening, a fear and a hope, and raiseth the heavy clouds. The thunder hymneth His praise and (so do) the angels for awe of Him. He launcheth the thunder-bolts and smiteth with them whom He will while they dispute (in doubt) concerning Allah, and He is mighty in wrath. —13: Ar–Ra'd: 12-13 4. And We send the winds fertilising, and cause water to descend from the sky, and give it you to drink. It is not ye who are the holders of the store thereof. —15: Al–Hijr: 22
5.
And We send down from the sky water in
measure, and We give it lodging in the earth, and lo! We are able to
withdraw it. Then We produce for you therewith gardens of date-palms
and grapes, wherein is much fruit for you and whereof ye eat;
6.
Hast thou not seen how Allah wafteth the
clouds, then gathereth them, then maketh them layers, and thou seest
the rain come forth from between them; He sendeth down from the heaven
mountains wherein is hail, and smiteth therewith whom He will, and
averteth it from whom He will. The flashing of His lightning all but
snatcheth away the sight. 7. Allah is He who sendeth the winds so that they raise clouds, and spreadeth them along the sky as pleaseth Him, and causeth them to break and thou seest the rain down-pouring from within them. And when He maketh it to fall on whom He will of His bondmen, lo! they rejoice; Though before that, even before it was sent down upon them, they were in despair. —30: Ar–Rum: 48-49 8. And Allah it is Who sendeth the winds and they raise a cloud; then We lead it unto a dead land and revive therewith the earth after its death. Such is the Resurrection. —35: Al–Fatir: 9 9. And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water, Thereby to produce grain and plant, And gardens of thick foliage. —78: An–Naba': 14-16 6 – Oceans and RiversIn the following verses, the revealed book of Islam, Al-Qur’an, throws light how the oceans and rivers were created and how they are useful for human beings: 1. Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth, and causeth water to descend from the sky, thereby producing fruits as food for you, and maketh the ships to be of service-unto you, that they may run upon the sea at His command and hath made of service unto you the rivers; —14: Ibrahim: 3 2. And He it is Who hath constrained the sea to be of service-that ye eat fresh meat from thence, and bring forth from thence ornaments which ye wear. And thou seest the ships ploughing it that ye (mankind) may seek of His bounty, and that haply ye may give thanks. And He hath cast into the earth firm hills that it quake not with you, and stream and roads that ye may find a way. —16: An–Nahl: 14-15 3. (O mankind), Your Lord is He Who driveth for you the ship upon the sea that ye may seek of his bounty. Lo! He was ever Merciful toward you. And when harm toucheth you upon the sea, all unto whom ye cry (for succour) fail save Him (alone), but when He bringeth you safe to land, ye turn away, for man was ever thankless. —17:Bani Isra'il: 66-67 4. As for those who disbelieve, their deeds are as a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one supposeth it to be water till he cometh unto it and findeth it naught, and findeth, in the place thereof, Allah, Who payeth him his due; and Allah is swift at reckoning: Or as darkness on a vast, obysmal sea. There covereth him a wave, above which is a wave, above which is a cloud. Layer upon layer of darkness. When he holdeth out his hand he scarce can see it. And he for whom Allah hath not appointed light, for him there is no light. —24:An–Nur: 39-40 5. And two seas are not alike: this, fresh, sweet, good .to drink, this (other) bitter, salt. And from them both ye eat fresh meat and derive the ornament that ye wear. And thou seest the ship cleaving them with its prow that ye may seek of His bounty, and that haply ye may give thanks. —35:Al–Fatir: 12 6. He hath loosed the two seas. They meet. There is a barrier between them. They encroach not (one upon the other) Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny' There cometh forth from both of them the pearl and coralstone. Which is it, of the favours of your Lord, that ye deny? His are the ships displayed upon the sea, like banners. —55: Ar–Rahman: 19-24 7 – Creation of ManGod created mankind from a single soul and that single soul (Adam) was created of potter’s clay of black mud altered. From that single soul was created its mate (Eve) and from them twain (Adam and Eve) was created a multitude of men and women. This fact is brought home by the Holy Qur’an in its verses. The Qur’an, in these verses also tells us how drop of fluid in mother’s womb develops into a living baby and how a baby gets its birth into this world. How an infant attains full strongth and enters into youth and how he grows into old age which is the most abject time of life. Thus speaks the Qur’an: 1. O mankind! Be careful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath spread abroad a multitude of men and women……… —4: An–Nisa: 1 2. He it is Who did create you from a single soul, and therefrom did make his mate that he might take rest in her. And when he covered her she bore a light burden, and she passed (uunoticed) with it, but when it became heavy they cried unto Allah, their Lord, saying: If Thou givest unto us aright we shall be of the thankful. —7: Al–A’raf: 189
3. Verily
We created man of potter’s clay of black mud altered, 4. He hath created man from a drop of fluid, yet, behold! He is an open opponent. —16: An–Nahl: 4 5. And Allah brought you forth from the wombs of your mothers knowing nothing, and gave you hearing and sight and hearts that haply ye might give thanks. —16: An–Nahl: 78 6. O mankind! If ye are in doubt concerning the Resurrection, then lo! We have created you from dust, then from a drop of seed, then from a clot, then from a little lump of flesh shapely and shapeless, that We may make (it) clear for you. And We cause what We will to remain in the wombs for an appointed time, and afterward We bring you forth as infants, then (give you growth) that ye attain your full strength. And among you there is he who dieth (young), and among you there is he who is brought back to the most abject time of life, so that, after knowledge, he knoweth naught. —22: Al–Hajj: 5 7. Verily We created man from a product of wet earth; Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging; Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators! Then lo! after that ye surely die. —23: Al–Mu’minun: 12-15 8. And We have enjoined upon man concerning his parents – His mother beareth him in weakness upon weakness and his weaning is in two years-Give thanks unto Me and unto thy parents. Unto Me is the journeying. —31: Luqman: 14
9. Who
made all things good which He created, and He began the creation of
man from clay; Then He made his seed from a draught of despised fluid;
Then He fashioned him and breathed into him of His spirit; and
appointed for you hearing and sight and hearts. Small thanks give ye!
10.
Allah created you from dust then from a
little fluid, then He made you pairs (the male and female). No female
beareth or bringeth forth save with His knowledge. And no one groweth
old who groweth old, nor is aught lessened of his life, but it is
recorded in a Book. Lo! that is easy for Allah. 11. He created you from one being, then from that (being) He made its mate; and He hath provided for you of cattle eight kinds. He created you in the wombs of your mothers creation after creation, in a threefold gloom. Such is Allah, your Lord His is the Sovereignty. There is no God save Him. How then are ye turned away? —39: Az–Zumar: 6
12.
He it is Who created you from dust, then
from a drop (of seed) then from a clot, then bringeth your forth as a
child, then (ordaineth) that ye attain full strength and afterward
that ye become old men though some among you die before-and that ye
reach an appointed term, that haply ye may understand. 13. So let man consider from what he is created. He is created from a gushing fluid. That issued from between the lions and ribs. —86: At–Tariq: 5-7 8 – Creation of AnimalsHe is God who has created cattle and animals and provides them sustenance. God has made them subservient unto man who uses them as beasts of burden, rides over them and also eats their meat. The Qur’an in its following verses brings these facts into light: 1. There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you. We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered. —6: Al–An'am : 38
2.
And the cattle hath He created, whence ye
have warm clothing and uses, and whereof ye eat; And wherein is beauty
for you, when ye bring them home, and when ye take them out to
pasture. And they bear your loads for you unto a land ye could not
reach save with great trouble to yourselves, Lo! your Lord is Full of
Pity, Merciful. And horses and mules and asses (hath He created) that
ye may ride them, and for ornament. And He createth that which ye know
not. 3. Allah hath created every animal of water. Of them is (a kind) that goeth upon its belly and (a kind) that goeth upon two legs and (a kind) that goeth upon four. Allah createth what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things. —24: An–Nur: 45 4. And how many animal there is that beareth not its own provision! Allah provideth for it and for you. He is the Hearer, the Knower. —29: Al–'Ankabut: 60 5. Have they not seen how We have created for them of Our handiwork the cattle, so that they are their owners. And have subdued them unto them, so that some of them they have for riding, some for food? Benefits and (divers) drinks have they from them. Will they not then give thanks? —36: Ya Sin: 71-73
6.
And in your creation, and all the beasts
that He scattered in the earth, are portents for a folk whose faith is
sure. 9 – Plants, Crops, GardensIn the following Verses, the Qur’an tells us how God creates plants, vegetation, crops, gardens, fruits from the earth by irrigating it with rain water, springs and flowing streams: 1. Who hath appointed the earth a resting-place for you, and the sky a canopy; and causeth water to pour down from the sky, thereby producing fruits as food for you. And do not set up rivals to Allah when ye know (better). —2:Al–Baqarah: 22 2. He it is Who sendeth down water from the sky, and therewith We bring forth buds of every kind: We bring forth the green blade from which We bring forth the thick-clustered grain; and from the date-palm, from the pollen thereof, spring pendant bunches; and (We bring forth) gardens of grapes, and the olive and the pome-granate, alike and unlike. Look upon the fruit thereof, when they bear fruit, and upon its ripening. Lo! herein verily are portents for a people who believe. —6: Al–An’am: 99
3.
He it is Who produceth gardens trellised
and untrellised, and the date-palm, and crops of divers flavour, and
the olive and the pomegranate, like and unlike. Eat ye of the fruit
thereof when it fruiteth, and pay the due thereof upon the harvest
day, and be not prodigal. Lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals.' 4. And He it is Who spread out the earth and placed therein firm hills and flowing streams, and of all fruits he placed therein two spouses (male and female). He covereth the night with the day. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who take thought. And in the Earth are neighbouring tracts, vineyards and ploughed lands, and date-palms, like and unlike, which are watered with one water. And We have made some of them to excel others in fruit. Lo! herein verily are portents for people who have sense. —13: Ar–Ra'd: 3-4
5.
He it is Who sendeth down water from the
sky, whence ye have drink, and whence are trees on which ye send your
beasts to pasture. Therewith He causeth crops to grow for you, and the
olive and the date-palm and grapes and all kinds of fruit. Lo! herein
is indeed a portent for people who reflect. 6. Then We produce for you therewith gardens of date-palms and grapes, wherein is much fruit for you and whereof ye eat; And a tree- that springeth forth from Mount Sinai that groweth oil and relish for the eaters. —23 :Al–Mu'minun: 19-20 7. Have they not seen how We lead the water to the barren land and therewith bring forth crops whereof their cattle eat, and they themselves? Will they not then see? —32:As–Sajdah: 27 10 – Everything Created in PairsGod has created every living being – humans, animals and plants – in pairs. This is a great scientific truth which the scientists have discovered only in recent age much after the revelation of the Holy Qur’an. The Qur’an, in the following verses highlights the fact of creation in pairs of everything living. 1. Glory be to Him Who created all the sexual pairs, of that which the earth groweth, and of themselves, and of that which they know not! ––36: Ya Sin: 36 2. The Creator of the heavens and the earth. He hath made for you pairs of yourselves, and of the cattle also pairs, whereby He multiplieth you. Naught is as His likeness; and He is the Hearer, the Seer. ––42: Ash–Shura: 11 3. And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect. ––51: Adh–Dhariyat: 49 4. Wherein is every kind of fruit in pairs. ––55: Ar–Rahman: 52 11 – Everything Created of WaterGod has created life from water. Every living being – mankind, animals, plants – has been created of water. This is again a great scientific truth which modern science has discovered only recently. It was certainly not known when the Qur’an was revealed some fourteen centuries ago. And this establishes beyond doubt that the Holy Qur’an is a divine book. The Qur’an in its following verses brings to light this fact that everything has been created by God out of water.
1.
Have not those who disbelieve known that
the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and
We made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe?
2.
Allah hath created every animal of
water…… 3. And He it is Who hath created man from water, and hath appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage; for thy Lord is ever Powerful. ––25: Al–Furqan: 54 12 – Be ; And it is!When a person wants to make, create or build a thing, he first of all arranges raw material, then he employees workers to help him, then he needs a workshop or factory equipped with necessary machinery, and after that he is in a position to manufacture a needed thing. But this is not with Almighty God. When God intends to do a thing, He simply says unto it: Be! and it is! Following verses of the Qur’an bring home this fact:
1. The
Originator of the heavens and the earth! When He decreeth a thing, He
saith unto it only: Be! and it is. 2. He it is who created the heavens and the earth in truth. In that day when He saith: Be! and it is. ––6: Al–An’am: 73 3. And Our word unto a thing, when We intend it, is only that We say unto it: Be! and it is. ––16: An–Nahl: 40 4. But His command, when He intendeth a thing, is only that he saith unto it: Be! and it is. ––36: Ya Sin: 82
5. He
it is who quickeneth and giveth death. When He ordaineth a thing, He
saith unto it only: Be! and it is.
