❀ Divine Wisdom in the Astonishing System of the Universe ❀
Written by: Syed Abul A‘la Maududi رحمه الله
Imagine someone tells you about a shop that:
– Has no shopkeeper,
– No supplier,
– No seller, and
– No security,
Yet it runs perfectly, goods arrive automatically, are sold regularly, and never get stolen.
Would you believe it?
Reason flatly rejects such a claim—it would seem completely absurd.
Now suppose someone claims that a factory came into being on its own—
– No owner,
– No engineer,
– No machinery designer,
Yet machines built themselves, parts aligned perfectly, and products manufactured seamlessly.
Would any rational mind accept this?
Such a statement would be seen as a sign of insanity.
Consider common things:
– A light bulb,
– A chair,
– A shirt,
– A house...
Can any of these exist without design or effort?
Even if all the world’s philosophers and scientists claimed so—
You still wouldn't believe it, because it defies all logic.
Look at the immense cosmic order:
– The sun, moon, and stars move in perfect harmony,
– Clouds form from sea vapor and travel with the wind,
– Rain falls and revives the earth,
– Dead seeds bloom into colorful plants and fruits...
Can such a grand system—more complex than any shop or factory—arise without a planner?
Even a simple chair can't form itself,
Then how could this unfathomably vast universe exist on its own?
The human body is a marvel of design:
– It contains iron, carbon, sulfur, and other elements worth just a few rupees.
– Yet from these low-cost materials, you can't assemble a living, breathing person.
In the tiny factory of a mother’s womb,
– Two microscopic cells unite,
– A full human is formed—
– With eyes, ears, brain, heart, and every organ in its perfect place.
Millions of people are born daily,
Yet no two are exactly alike:
– Each differs in appearance, voice, abilities, and thoughts.
– Even twins born from the same womb are not identical in mind and personality.
Can such endless diversity arise without the will of a powerful, intelligent Creator?
Can such precise systems, delicate balance, and breathtaking design exist without guidance, without intelligence, without purpose?
Anyone who claims this entire universe functions without God has lost touch with reason.
To argue with such a person is to waste time on the irrational.
This universe, in all its magnificence, is a living testimony to the wisdom of its Creator.
﴿أَفِي ٱللَّهِ شَكّٞ فَاطِرِ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ﴾
"Is there any doubt about Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth?"
(Surah Ibrāhīm: 10)
