Allah's Relation with created world.
The order of creation is such that the sun, the moon, the stars, water and earth, the day and the night, the seasons of the year, the clouds, wind and rain, the treasures beneath the earth and on its surface, in other words, all the forces of nature use their energy and resources in providing well-being and peace of mind for Man. Such a relation and harmony can be discovered among all phenomena and also between man and his neighbors, near and far, as well as within man’s own habitat.
· Man is Allah’s best creation as he alone has been blessed with the knowledge, power, faculty and wisdom to explore and understand the mysteries and intricacies of this immeasurably vast universe. It is evident from the fact that when confronted, the angels could not give the names of the things while Adam did it quite easily and spontaneously because he had been so taught by the Supreme Lord. (2:31-33)
· Man is Allah’s vicegerent on the Planet Earth. (2:30) Allah has clearly told him that if he acts in accordance with His commands, he will achieve peace and tranquility in this world and eternal bliss and joy (Paradise) in the next world. But if he indulges in defiance, arrogance and self-conceit, eternal sorrow and affliction in the Hereafter will be his fate and Hell his permanent abode.
· Within the constraints of destiny (Taqdeer), Allah has granted man a kind of autonomy. For example, Allah has gifted man with the power of speech which he can use either to do good or evil to humanity, and to tell a truth, or to utter a falsehood. Allah has also bestowed upon man the faculties of learning, speaking, understanding and discriminating right from wrong and good from evil.
· Allah loves His Creation so much that He will not force it to commit sin and then punish it.
· Allah is so generous that he does not make it a duty for men to do what is not in their
power. The Holy Quran says:
“Allah burdens not anyone except according to his capacity.” (2:286)
· Allah loves those who do good and He likes the righteous, the pious and the patient. Allah wants mankind to be on the `Right Path’, for that alone is the way of salvation.
· Allah does not like evil and transgression, for it surely leads to Hell. The Holy Quran
says:
“And walk not on earth with conceit and arrogance.” (17:37)
· The Holy Prophet (PBUH) said:
“He who has, in his heart, an ant’s weight of arrogance will not enter Paradise.” (Muslim)
· As Allah is very compassionate, loving and considerate towards human-beings, He gives them repeated chances and opportunities to repent and seek His forgiveness.
