The Second Rational Answer: This Universe Has Not Been Created in Vain:
This is a rational answer to the obstinacy of the disbelievers of Makkah. That is, the person who denies the Day of Resurrection and the recompense or punishment for his deeds actually thinks that this universe is nothing but a play and amusement. And in this world, anyone can do whatever he wants. He will die and turn to dust, and there will be no one to question him. And the Creator of the universe has created it merely as a pastime and amusement. Whereas, in every single thing of this universe, the mutual connection, order and arrangement, discipline, regularity, and the abundance of purposes and corresponding benefits in everything, all bear clear testimony that the Creator of this universe can only be an extremely wise and prudent being. And no wise person ever does anything useless or in vain. Inevitably, this universe must lead to some result. And that result is called the Hereafter or the Day of Resurrection. In many other places in the Quran, another rational argument for the Hereafter is presented, which is that the person who denies the Hereafter actually thinks that the good and the evil (or goodness and evil) are all equal. The end of both is the same: to die and mix with the dust and become dust. Whereas, no one accepts that the good and the evil are alike or that the end of both should be the same. Thus, denial of the Hereafter negates both the attributes of wisdom and justice of Allah Almighty.
