THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Arba'a 29th day of Rabeeu ath-thaani 1444AH (Wednesday 23rd November. 2022). *_The Big Question: Who Made Us_* BismilLah.
Unfortunately today, you find even some Muslims who ask the big questions: “Who made us,” and “Why are we here? Etc because of their scientific education” Most of us have been brought up more on science than religion, and to believe in the Big Bang and evolution more than ALLAH (Al-Haaliq, The CREATOR) is a disaster in your own life. Even if common sense is to be applied, Which makes more sense? And is there any reason why the theories of science and creationism cannot coexist?
The Big Bang may explain the origin of the universe, but it doesn’t explain the origin of the primordial dust cloud. This dust cloud (which, according to the theory, drew together, compacted and then exploded) had to come from somewhere isn't it?. After all, it contained enough matter to form not just our galaxy, but the billion other galaxies in the known universe. So where did that come from? Who, or what, created the primordial dust cloud?
Similarly, evolution may explain the fossil record, but it falls far short of explaining the quintessential essence of human life, the soul. We all have one. We feel its presence, we speak of its existence and at times pray for its salvation. But only the religious can explain where it came from. The theory of natural selection can explain many of the material aspects of living things, but it fails to explain the human soul and spiritual aspects of human life. Any learned Muslim has no issues about these questions Alhamdulillah but anyone who studies the complexities of life and the universe cannot help but witness the signature of the CREATOR, ALLAH. Whether or not people recognize these signs is another matter. The point is that if we see a painting, we know there is a painter. If we see a sculpture, we know there’s a sculptor; a pot, a potter. So when we view creation, shouldn’t we know there’s a Creator? Common sense isn't it?
*_May ALLAH (Al-Haadi, The Guide) keeps guiding us from any deviation_*. Aameen.
