Answer by a Muslim Scholar

A group of high school students once came to visit me. 'Teach us concerning our Creator," they said. "Our teachers never mention God."

I replied: "Each of the sciences you study constantly makes mention of God and speaks to you of your Creator in accordance with the method of its own tongue. Do not listen to your teachers, listen to those sciences.

"For example, a well-equipped pharmacy, with vital cures and potions stored in every jar and weighed out in wondrous and sensitive balances, demonstrates without doubt the existence of a highly skilled chemist, a most wise pharmacist. So too life-giving cures and potions stored in the jars of the four hundred thousand types of plant and animal in the pharmacy of the world-a pharmacy far better equipped and greater than the pharmacy in this town-also demonstrates and makes known to the blindest of eyes the Wise Possessor of Glory Who is the pharmacist in the supreme pharmacy of the world. This is in accordance with the science of medicine that you study.

'To take another example, a wondrous factory that weaves thousands of different kinds of cloth from a single simple material proves without doubt the existence of a manufacturer and a skilled machine operator. So too this revolving machine of Divine construction called the earth, with its hundreds of thousands of workers, each employed in hundreds of thousands of factories, being infinitely greater and more perfect than any factory fashioned by man, proves and demonstrates the existence of the master craftsman and the possessor of this earth. This is in accordance with the science of engineering you study.

"Or, to take yet another example, a depot, a storehouse or shop, in which a thousand and one different kinds of foodstuff have been brought together, and been stacked and laid out in orderly fashion, proves without doubt the existence of an owner of a11 this foodstuff, an official or overseer in charge of it. So too this storehouse of the Compassionate One, like a train that each year traces out a circle lasting twenty-four thousand years, conveys hundreds of thousands of different classes of being and the separate kinds of sustenance that each requires, and traverses the different seasons on its journey, spring being like a large wagon full of different kinds of food for those wretches whose sustenance is exhausted in the winter-this storehouse, then, this glorious vessel, this depot and Divine store that contains a thousand and one kinds of equipment and goods and canned foods, being infinitely greater and more complete than that other storehouse, establishes definitely the existence of the owner, the administrator, the manager of the depot that is this world, and makes him known and familiar. This is in accordance with the science of economics that you study or will study.

"So too a gifted commander, whose army is recruited from four hundred thousand nations, each requiring different provisions to eat, different weapons to use, different garments to wear, different instructions to receive, different times for demobilization, will provide all the different foods, weapons, clothing and equipment that those different nations require, unaided and without forgetting or confusing anything. Then that wondrous army and its encampment will of a certainty demonstrate the genius and existence of that commander and inspire love for him. In the same way, the encampment that is- the earth every spring, with its new army of canticlers brought under arms and recruited from the four hundred thousand nations of fauna and flora, with each provided with its separate clothing, food and equipment, and each being recruited and discharged in a most perfect and regular fashion by a single generalissimo, without any omission or confusion this encampment, being infinitely greater and more complete than the human army and camp mentioned above, will make known to the reflective and intelligent the Governor, THC Lord, the Disposer and the Most Sacred Commander of the earth. It will make Him known by its wonders and its invocations of His sanctity, and make Him loved by its praise and glorification. This is in accordance with the military science that you will study.

"So too the millions of electric lights that move through a great city illuminating it, and the power plant that supplies them inexhaustibly make known a miracle-working craftsman, an extraordinarily capable electrician, who with unhesitating genius manages the electricity, constructs the moving lamps, and establishes the power plant and supplies it with fuel. Making him known, they also evoke cries of admiration, affection and congratulation for him. In the same way, in the city that is this globe, there are stars fixed to the roof of the world's palace, some of which, according to the science of cosmography, are a thousand times bigger than the earth and move seventy times faster than a cannonball. They never leave their appointed order, never collide, never are extinguished; their fuel is never exhausted. Again according to the science of cosmography that you study, liquid gas equal to the world's oceans and heaps of wood as high as the world's mountains would be needed every day for the sun to burn eternally and never be extinguished, that lamp and stove in the hospice of the Compassionate One a million times larger than the earth. Now the electric lamps and installations in the world's palace, in the glorious city of being, keep the sun and the lofty stars that resemble it burning without gas, wood or coal, never permitting them to be extinguished; they keep them in swift rotation, never permitting them to collide; and thus, with their fingers of light, they indicate an infinite power and sovereignty. Hence they are far greater and more perfect than the lights of a manmade city, and make known the Monarch, the Illuminer, the Disposer and the Maker of the supernal gathering, calling the luminous stars to give witness. They arouse love for Him with invocations of His glory and sanctity, and inspire worship of Him.

"Again, let us conceive of a book in each line of which a separate work is minutely inscribed and in each word of which a whole Qur'anic sura is traced out by a delicate pen; a compendium of profound truths each of which supports the other and demonstrates the skill and capacity of its scribe and its author. Such a book demonstrates and indicates, with utmost clarity, the existence of its scribe and its author, as well as their skills and accomplishments. It evokes sentiments of appreciation, and exclamations of "Mashallah, Barakallah.'" So too it is with this great Book of Being. On the earth's face, a single one of its pages, and in spring, a single one of its phrases, there arise three hundred thousand species of fauna and flora, like three hundred thousand separate books, all inscribed without any error or mistake, without confusion or mingling, perfectly and totally. We see a pen at work that writes an ode in the form of a tree, one word in the Book of Being, and draws up an index of the whole work in the form of a seed, one dot in that book. This compendium of being, this Supreme Cosmic Qur'an, each word of which contains infinite wisdom and truth, being greater, more perfect and truthful than the book mentioned above, demonstrates the existence of the Calligrapher and Scribe of this Book of Being, in all His boundless perfection. Proclaiming "Allahu akbar, " it indicates His existence; proclaiming "SubhanAllah,'' it defines Him in His exalted transcendence; and proclaiming "Alhamdulillah, " it praises Him and evokes love for Him. This is in accordance with the natural sciences that you study, and the arts of reading and writing that you practice at school, with their encompassing scope and penetrating gaze.

"Hundreds of other sciences, analogous to these, make known the Glorious Creator of being with all of His Names, proclaiming His attributes and perfections, by virtue of their encompassing scope, their ability to reflect like a mirror, their penetrating gaze and their meditative vision.

"It is in order to teach this lesson, supplying a glorious and brilliant of the Divine Unity, that the Qur'an of miraculous exposition constantly repeats the verses:

Lord of the heavens and the earth,

and

The created the heavens and the earth,

thus making our Creator known to us.'

It was in this fashion that I spoke to those students. They accepted all that I said and testified to its truth, saying, "Thanks without limit be to our Lord that we have been given a lesson fully sacred and true. May God be pleased with you."

I then said: "Although man is like a living machine, reacting with pain to thousands of different kinds of pain, and with pleasure to thousands of different kinds of pleasure; although he is exposed to the hostility of countless enemies, seen and unseen, and poverty without limit; although he is a pitiful creature suffering from boundless needs, inward and outward, and enduring the knocks and blows of constant cessation and separation-despite all this, he may attach himself by belief and worship to a Glorious Monarch Who shall serve him as a support against all of his enemies and a provider against all of his needs. If man first attaches himself to so All-Powerful and Merciful a Monarch and enters through worship into his service, and then turns fate's sentence of execution into a letter of discharge, imagine how contentedly, happily and gratefully will he take pride in his Lord in the manner of one who takes pride in the rank and nobility of his master!"

I repeat to these unfortunate prisoners what I said to the schoolboys: 'The one who knows and obeys Him is fortunate, even in prison; whereas the one who forgets Him is imprisoned and wretched, even in a palace. A wronged but fortunate man once said to his wretched oppressors just before his execution, 'I am not being executed, rather I am being discharged to go to the abode of bliss. I am amply avenged on you by seeing you condemned to execution for all eternity.' Saying 'There is no god but God,' he happily surrendered his spirit."
