Man is Looking With Astonishment at his Creation

Preface
Since you have been introduced to some required extents to the circumstances of Man's creation and other related issues, it is appropriate to step forward and talk about the basis of creation and the manner of his development. It is appropriate, then, to examine the reasons why all kinds of small and big domestic animals, except Man, have been given the particular powers of moving about and communication from the birth, whereas Man's offspring, despite inborn intelligence, was not privileged with this wealth from the birth. After two or three years in this manner, he acquires that ability and excellence.

It is necessary that you ponder on the topics enlightening the corresponding truths.

1. Have you reflected? The purpose of this world's creation has not only been for its observance of various kinds of beings. Nor has it been for Man to obtain the most from this world and become the absolute in nobility on the face of the earth or even of this firmament. Rather, there are hundreds of other truths therein. One among them is that out of the most commonplace and unworthy things a variety of colors are created each following its own wisdom. He Almighty is exhibiting the Perfection of His Art and His Absolute Power by making us observe each of these, so that we may establish the relationship with Him Almighty through this short way.

2. Have you reflected? The composition of one single sperm while a less sensual Man ejaculates two or three million sperms and a more sensual person fifteen to twenty millions or more at one time, each of them is endowed with all the major and minor organs. By just reaching the womb

THE MOMENT OF UNION

and uniting with the mother's ovum in the uterus, within more or less nine months, Man's offspring comes into existence. Deliberate, what is the inborn quality of Man's creation.

3. Have you reflected? A child's development during its residence in the mother's womb is taken care through the umbilical cord. It is the only means of transporting nutrients to the child in the womb, and it possesses specialized activities in the ordered distribution of those nutrients. This gives clear understanding that Exalted God is Able (Qaadir) to grant growth and development to beings in other ways as well than through the chewing and gnawing, as we mentioned above.

4. Have you reflected? At birth, the human or animal is much larger than its birth outlet. So what is the mystery that this being, during birth, comes out undamaged from that small passage? How is it possible that, after the infant's development in the womb, the infant, synchronously or asynchronously with its amnion, automatically comes out?

How Glorious Able (Qaadir), Exalted Self-Subsisting (Qayyum), and how Evident Supremacy (Kibriyaa) is the Unique God.

5. Have you reflected? The body of Man and most animals consists of bones, flesh, brain, blood, nails, hair, blood vessels, intestines, glands, lungs, liver, kidneys, and the necessary muscles. Each has its particularities pertaining to its specific task and activity. The wastes of each organ caused by the work done are restored with the same corresponding elements through blood.

6. Have you reflected? Why is Man's offspring unable to walk on its feet and talk in its maternal language for at least one to two years after birth? Because among these beings there are some who will become the owners of such capability and great mastery that they will then be thinking on the essence of the Almighty's Being. They will become people of high authority. They shall remember this period of ignorance and incapability, and stand humbly in front of His Supreme Being.

"… and stand in total humility and meekness before Him Almighty."

Namely to be merciful and kind with the weak and helpless, for the sake of the Almighty's happiness Who has bestowed upon you this capability.

7. Have you reflected? Why are the offspring of most domestic animals needed by Man: The camel, the horse, the donkey, the goat, the sheep, and even the chicken and all the others are given the ability to walk, and the talent to understand their maternal language from the birth? Man's offspring, however who in their future will become great leaders in science, administration, and business affairs, were not made to deserve that wealth from birth.

If infant domestic animals were unable to walk, then it would have been a trouble for Man to move them about. Therefore, Exalted God has bestowed upon them the ability of walking from birth.

8. Have you reflected? There are other wisdoms behind the human infant's inability to walk and talk as well besides the ones mentioned. Namely, they are unable to walk, talk, and grab things. They should realize that there is no difficulty for Almighty Great ('Azeem) Lord to bestow this ability at the beginning of birth. There are, however, wisdoms behind it that He has not bestowed upon Man.

9. Have you reflected? Our world is like a caravansary throughout which Almighty God has scattered a variety of things and tools called "trees," "plants," "grains," and "mines" on land, in the oceans, and elsewhere, over the face of this earth. Only Man, with the power of his exploring brain, rearranges these things and, hence, organizes his life and his world's order.

10. Have you reflected? Likewise, the mines of good or evil, in time span of centuries, or more or less by the order of "Be" (kun), are passed to the pious children of mankind, as a Beloved One (Habeeb), a Messenger (Rasool), a Friend (Khallel), an Interlocutor with God (Kaleem), a Spiritualist (Roohee), or a Saint (Walee). These majestic ones are the guides of the good path and the divine knowledge, among human beings.

Ask always Glorious God that He may keep us in the sources of goodness and benevolence, and may guide and give us success in spreading monotheism. Amen.

11. Have you reflected? This secret passes through human generations to one of the sides-prosperous or wretched. Contrarily, sometimes beloved ones at the level of Ibrahim Khaleel-ullah and Muhammad Rasool-ullah emerge from unbelievers. Other times, out of the God's beloved comes God's enemy, such as Kin'aan son of Prophet Noah, and so forth. These occurrences prove that there is no reckoning of the child for the wickedness or goodness of his father if he does not follow, or he follows but returns later.

12. Have you reflected? The greater secret is that this world is basically each individual human being's trial residence. In those struggling and fighting in the path of Exalted God, the Almighty is more gracious creating them in noble, knowledgeable, and practicing families.

In this case, the sinful and nonbelievers are figuratively deprived compared to them.

13. Have you reflected? On this basis, there are excellent stations respectively for people who were initially created at the environment of unbelievers and libertines, and the like, if they turn to the path of guidance.

Likewise, pious people's children are scarred with- "… he is not of your family…"

when going astray, such as the son of the prophet Noah peace be upon him by just a small disobedience. For, they are as created in perfumery, and the other category in non-perfumery, comparatively speaking.

Is it not a crime and great sin to go from fragrance to malodorous? The answer is positive.

14. Have you reflected? Man should not be disappointed in himself, even if he is gone to wickedness. He should not think that guidance would be no more destined for him. This is a temptation of Satan.

If the person is steady on the guided path, he should fear lest he might lose himself by this confidence. We take refuge in Almighty God.

In summary, by keeping His Almighty's Presence in oneself, one should always have mercy on weak people being intent on God's pleasure.

15. Have you reflected? On this basis, in all religions, especially in the religion of Islam it is fixed that faith is between Fear and Hope.

The other point, more delicate than hair - wisely and intelligently analyzing, for the followers and seekers of the path of guidance in both cases of disappointment and hopefulness, a luminous torch would be to locate faith between fear and hope for pious beginners.

Without doubt, the Self-Sufficient Guide (Ghanee ul-Haadee) and the Alone Everlasting (Fard ul-Baaqee) is Exalted He.
