To counter the false beliefs of the infidels logically Allah^-SWT Commands that the life of this universe ought to be pondered over to see which is the mighty power that grows tree from a seed and crop laden green fields from tiny-grains! Certainly it is Allah^-SWT Alone while all the rest is His^-SWT creation. The seeds and grains grew even before the existence of those whom the infidels take as their providers. In the animal world the system of reproduction itself invites deliberation; how a sperm or an egg can lead to the birth of a living being and how animals in turn produce sperm or eggs to carry on the procreation. What a dexterity that He^-SWT creates from a non-living the living, and then to continue the process again makes a non-living drop the source of the living. So why take such creations as partners with Him^-SWT ? It is indeed very foolish. This is the system on earth. Now take a look at the heaven; Who^-SWT brings forth the light of dawn from the darkness of night? Though darkness is the opposite of light, yet He^-SWT creates light from the womb of darkness! And the darkness of night, though people may not like it much, yet it is a great blessing of Allaah^-SWT for them to recoup from the tiring routine of the day and start afresh, had there been no night, the entire mankind could not possibly have agreed upon a particular time to rest. Would resting in broad daylight have given the same amount of comfort that a night gives? It is just impossible.

Solar and Lunar Calculations

It is indeed Allaah^-SWT ’s Favour that He^-SWT regulated the orbits of the solar and lunar movements. Besides other countless benefits, the calculation of time itself is a great blessing. These large luminous heavenly bodies move with such precision and punctuality that it is possible to calculate not only days and nights, but also hours, minutes and seconds. In these Ayat the sun and the moon have been mentioned as the instruments for the calculation of time, thus it is not wrong to calculate the dates, months or years by the solar calendar either. However, worships have been orientated with the lunar calendar. One of the rationale is that it is easy for every individual to keep an account by observing the moon cycle. Since the obligatory worships such as fasting during the month of Ramadhan and Hajj are dependant on the sighting of the new moon, the lunar calendar must be followed carefully and its disregard shall be sinful. However, in daily routine using the solar calculations is not prohibited, while its discontinuation would not be a sinful act. All these matters have been determined by the Most Powerful and the Omnipotent, the One and the Only Allaah^-SWT to Whom^-SWT no partners can be ascribed, whereas mankind is as powerless today as it was on the very first day of its creation. Can all the people join together to hasten or delay the movement of the sun or the moon? Not at all. Allaah^-SWT the Almighty has prefixed the orbit and the time of rising and setting of each and every star so that the travellers on land or on the sea can find their way in darkness by looking at .them. These are such clear Signs that anyone with the slightest common reuse and knowledge will have no option but to acknowledge Allaah^-SWT ’s Greatness.

People must look at themselves how the Almighty created them from a single soul, Prophet Aadam^-AS and then laid down the system of procreation. The stages of procreation, whether the loins of father or the womb of mother, life or death, are all temporary stations while the Hereafter is their final destination. Some are on their way; some have gone past, while others have to follow. With the slightest ability to contemplate, one can see very clear Signs of His^-SWT Omnipotence.

Now observe the rain! See how He^-SWT lifts water to such heights, the clouds drift with the winds, and when the water pours down, even the land seems to be unable to host so much down pour. From high altitudes, the water is delivered to the depths of the soil giving life to all forms of plantations. Once a part of sea, it is formed into clouds and drizzling down in the form of drops through the space, runs as the lifeline for the plants and trees. It is present in the greenery as well as in the fodder. The grains yield is like the lovely stringed beads, the dates form beautiful clusters and a variety of colourful fruits such as grapes, pomegranates and olives abound. It was intrinsically the same water but see how it reached everywhere and underwent so many amazing transformations. Who is behind the scenes doing all this? Only Allah^-SWT , the Almighty! Does He^-SWT require the assistance of anyone to fulfill the needs of His^-SWT people? They take Jinn for His^-SWT partners, who themselves are a humble creation. Sometimes out of ignorance, people perceive Allah^-SWT by human standards and ascribe Him^-SWT sons and daughters, whereas He^-SWT is above all, pure and matchless. No one is like Him^-SWT and He^-SWT is far above the ignorant fabrications.
