Quran is a wonder
Quran is a wonder
Allah (swt) mentions these rules without error. He took some time establishing these laws. I do not know the sequence of Allah’s creations, but He made the system very delicately. Humans are put on this planet, dependant on physical laws to survive. Water, air, earth, sand are designed to keep humans alive.
What is next in His creations?
He made the intelligence; “self evolving”, “exploring itself” and “finding the existence of our Creator”. We are already moving towards our Creator (swt). Trying to find Him around us. Not all of us. But some entrepreneurs, passionate youngsters who are looking for purpose, are on the path of self discovery. Travelling around, getting a hint of Allah’s existence.
We super intelligent creatures “finding the purpose of our lives” is not it. "Keeping us alive” is not the end of Allah’s creations.
It does not end here.
We are bound by laws, rules, limits and orders to keep ourselves from hitting destruction of ourselves and this planet. These laws are written quite comprehensively, thoroughly thought out and planned by the Creator.
Laws can not be challenged and limits if bypassed, hurts us.
Sometimes challenging these laws make us frustrated, angry and depressed. Other times it leads us to a rabbit hole of failures. One failure after another and we are stuck, can’t get out.
Just imagine..
First the creator, created us. He created earth. Sky above, Stars further above. Universe some where higher. Black holes. Far far above, He created another sky. That sky is now sky number 2. Then there are 7 such skies. Higher He established His own throne. So far higher He sits Himself. Now He is there on His throne. Yet He is closer to us. That tells, He is biggest (Allah is Akbar). Really big.
Now after all these creations, he writes about how to give divorce to our women. How if we die, our women to sit protected for 4 months and 10 days, the time before which the pregnancy is determined. Another rule He writes, if we divorce our wife, she can not return to us, until she marries somebody else. Another rule He writes, if we divorce our wives, we should provide for the mother and mother to feed the child until child is 2 years old. Or do not feed the child if we mutually agree upon terminating it. Or we can ask someone else to feed our child for us, if we agree upon it.
Connecting the dots
Creation of this planet is an un-explainable wonder. Makes us sit in awe. Initially He made us. Then He kept us alive by providing physical laws. Then He gave us a manual to function properly.
All to ensure; we do not create fuss on His planet. We keep ourselves in our senses and spread goodness around. We do not harm each other. All to ensure, we keep His planet from getting dirtier.
Can somebody do this?
Create a planet just like earth.
Create a manual to walk on this planet parallel to Quran.
No one has done it so far. Constitutions were written by Romans. They failed. By Persians, they also failed. So many books written so far, all failed. Why did Quran not fail?
Because it is a wonder. Just like earth is a wonder, Quran is a wonder. It can not fail.
