"O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), Who
created you and those who were before you so that you may acquire taqwa
(piety).
Who has made the earth a resting place for you,
and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought
forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto
Allah (in worship) while you know (that He alone has the right to be
worshipped."
Qur’an, 2:21-22
Several scholars of Tafsir, like Ar-Razi and others, used this Ayat (verse)
as an argument for the existence of the Creator, and it is a most worthy method
of argument. Indeed, whoever ponders over the things that exist, the higher and
lower creatures, their various shapes, colors, behavior, benefits and ecological
roles, then he will realize the ability, wisdom, knowledge, perfection and
majesty of the Creator. Once a Bedouin was asked about the evidence to Allah’s
existence, he responded: "All praise is due to Allah! The camel’s dung testifies
to the existence of the camel, and the track testifies to the fact that someone
was walking. A sky that holds the giant stars, a land that has fairways and a
sea that has waves, does not all of this testify that the Most Kind, Most
Knowledgeable exists?" [Ar-Razi 2:91]
Hence, whoever gazes at the sky in its immensity, its expanse, and the
various kinds of planets in it, some of which appear stationary in the sky –
whoever gazes at the seas that surround the land from all sides, and the
mountains that were placed on the earth to stabilize it, so that whoever lives
on land, whatever their shape and color, are able to live and thrive – whoever
reads Allah’s statement:
"And among the mountains are streaks white and red, of varying
colours and (others) very black. And likewise, men and ad-Dawwabb (moving,
living creatures, beasts) and cattle are of various colours. It is only those
who have knowledge among His servants that fear Allah." (35:27-28)
Whoever thinks about the running rivers that travel from area to area
bringing benefit, whoever ponders over what Allah has created on earth; various
animals and plants of different tastes, scents, shapes and colors that are a
result of unity between land and water, whoever thinks about all of this then he
will realize that these facts testify to the existence of the Creator, His
perfect ability, wisdom, mercy, kindness, generosity and His overall compassion
for His creation. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, nor is there
a Lord besides Him, upon Him we rely and to Him we turn in repentance. There are
numerous Ayat in the Qur’an on this subject.
