Baqarah 163-164
163- AND YOUR GOD IS BUT ONE GOD, THERE IS NO GOD OTHER THAN HIM, THE MOST MERCIFUL, MOST COMPASSIONATE.
164- INDEED, THERE ARE IN THE CREATION OF THE HEAVENS AND OF THE EARTH, THE SEQUENCE AND ALTERATION OF THE NIGHT AND DAY, THE SHIPS SAILING IN THE SEA FOR THE BENEFIT OF MANKIND, THE WATER ALLAH SENDS DOWN FROM THE SKY REVIVING THE LAND AFTER ITS DEATH, AND TO PUT FORTH ALL CREATURES IN IT, DIRECTING THE WIND, AND THE CLOUD ORDERED TO SERVE BETWEEN THE SKY AND THE EARTH, ARE ALL SIGNS FOR THOSE OF SOUND MINDS.
Ayah 163 is the statement of Faith, that there is only one God, and there is not another. Allah the Highest then follows this with the His good names, the Most Merciful, Most Compassionate. Asserting and assuring us of these characters of His.
The disbelievers asked Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him of the proof that there is a God. Here is the proof:
- THE CREATION OF THE HEAVENS AND OF THE EARTH. We know more than ever before the enormity, complexity, design and beauty of the Heavens and of the Earth. It should tell us about the Power, Ability and Creativity of the Creator.
Whenever we see something in order, or have a pattern and intricate configurations and shapes, we feel that it is designed, or at least made by someone not happened haphazardly. When we see few stones put together in order, we assume that someone put them together. It is then reasonable to think that this very meticulously ordered and designed universe was made by a Creator, Allah the Highest.
- THE SEQUENCE AND ALTERATION OF THE NIGHT AND DAY:
There is a purpose for making day and night which Allah the Highest explained in these Ayahs “AND WE MADE THE NIGHT AS A COVER * AND WE MADE THE DAY FOR YOUR LIVELIHOOD” (S:78 A:10,11) We are active by day and rest by night. Our bodies are adjusted on this rhythm, and when we change this, we do not feel good and do not function well.
Allah the Highest mentioned the night before the day, and this is often the case in the Quran. This is because the universe is in darkness generally. We have day time only for the part of the Earth facing the sun. Otherwise in space, it is dark.
- THE SHIPS SAILING IN THE SEA FOR THE BENEFIT OF MANKIND:
Allah the Highest made the seas full of water which carries the ships and they move easily on the water. Even submarines, move easily in the water. Ships need little power to make it sail in water, contrary to moving one land. This makes water in oceans, seas and rivers like big roads, linking the corners of the Earth together, allowing transport of people and goods, Allah the Highest created water with these characteristics, of things floating on top, and sail in it,
There are also currents in seas and rivers, which push the ships,
There is also the wind in seas and rivers, which also push ships.
All designed for this purpose.
“AND OF HIS SIGNS THE SHIPS SAILING IN THE SEAS LIKE MOUNTAINS * HE STOPS THE WIND IF HE WILLS, THEN THEY WILL STAY UNMOVING ON THE SEA”. (S:42 A:32,33)
Then, seas and rivers are sources of food, and now they are becoming sources of energy. Allah the Highest said: “THE TWO SEAS ARE NOT THE SAME, THIS ONE IS FRESH AND PURE TO DRINK, AND THE OTHER IS VERY SALTY, BUT FROM BOTH YOU EAT SOFT FLESH AND EXTRACT JEWELLERY TO WEAR, AND YOU SEE THE SHIPS SAILING IN THEM, AND TO SEEK OF HIS (ALLAH) BOUNTY, SO THAT YOU BE THANKFUL”. (S:35 A:12)
Is this not enough evidence that they were made for this purpose, and so designed?
- THE WATER ALLAH SENDS DOWN FROM THE SKY REVIVING THE LAND AFTER ITS DEATH, AND TO PUT FORTH ALL CREATURES IN IT, DIRECTING THE WIND, AND THE CLOUD ORDERED TO SERVE BETWEEN THE SKY AND THE EARTH:
The water evaporates from the oceans and seas to form clouds. Then rain falls and it waters the land, fills the rivers and the wells. Water is the source of life, there is no life without water. Allah the Highest said: “WE MADE FROM WATER EVERY LIVING THING”. (S:21 A:30) Then the barren land becomes green, and all the dried and dormant seeds germinate, eggs hatch, animals will come to eat the plants and drink the water, and the whole place will come to life after being dead.
It is not that people do not see this, but they do not link it to the Creator, Allah the Highest. It is called nature, the Laws of nature, they say things have developed over the years.
No one denies the integrity, system, organization of the whole earth and also the heavens, and that it is all linked and interdependent.
I feel that many disbelievers do not believe because they can not understand or comprehend that One Creator can be responsible for all this creation.
However, this is what makes the real believer more humble and more submitting. Also feel more reassured because of his knowledge about his God.
