Peace

mankind is not the only creation of Allah


SubhanaAllah to the first post though, Allah subhana wa Ta'ala has given us so much


Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding.
Those who remember Allah (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): "Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire.
3:190-191

why you are SO LIMITED ?

u missed that Allah ( swt ) mentioned that (( The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind, yet most of mankind know not. [Al-Ghaafir 40:57] ))

and u saw the pix...and saw how much we r samll..and how much the space is great.

but to avoid been touched by Allah's words...u block ur mind and u search for things out of ur control....just to say after u fail to understand them h..then there is no god.

have a good day

SubhanAllah!!! How perfect is Allah (swt).

In tafsir of Ayatul Qursi I heard that the Qursi of Allah bigger than the heavens and the earth.

JazakAllahu khaira for the post...That is truly amazing. We are really a single dot in comparision to the other creations.

Oh and one thing for the athiest how can all that come about by evolutionary chance???

Great post .....Wallahi
jazakum allahu khyran

subhanallah kool

Universe was made for man. You may see it as a lot of waste - but do you know how much humans benefited by studying the universe scientifically? It has a great bearing on human life, just being able to create a telescope and see stuff - May make one get filled with awe at the creation - become humble - The study gives on logical reason to question existance of such vast amount of beuty....

I for one, believe the Universe has not any waste to it, everything has a reason behind it, I do believe it helps on believe in God, somhow... Which indeed, was at the end of the day, the test laid down on the table for us.

Heaps of reasons! Let's see how many I can think of...

1. A sign for mankind so they do not underestimate the Greatness of Allah.
2. An adornment. Allah says in the Quran: "And indeed We have adorned the nearest heaven with lamps" [chapter 67 verse 5] (Lamps here means starts).
3. Room for the angles to worship. The prophet once mentioned that there is not a inch of sky expect that there is an angel worshipping in that space. (or something to that effect...)

that is what happens when an attempt at clever turns oh so blasé!

awesome!

do you have a link to this or something?
