"And He creates that which you do not know" [16:8]
Our Shaykh, Mufti Saiful Islam mentions, that the verb used (يخلق) is used for the present tense and the future tense. So this means we can take it as Allah is currently creating that which we don't know and in the future he will carry on creating what we cannot imagine!
Allahu Akbar.
To this day, approximately 8.7 MILLION species of life have been discovered. This includes Land animals, Plants, Oceanic animals and insects. That however, is not all.
Allah swt has told us, he creates that which we have no clue of. National geographic estimates that 86% of Earths species are STILL unknown.
Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar.
If the 14% discovered amounts to 8.7 MILLION,
Only Allah knows about the remaining 86%.
The Scholars of the Qur'an also mention that Allah is also giving a subtle indication here to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam, towards our generation. That such Locomotives, Jet Planes, Cars etc. I will create but you don't know about them. Allah creates them by inspiring Man with the knowledge of how to create them.
NOBLE QURAN 17:85 '' And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, "The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little." the difference between us and our dead body is ''the soul'' but such an important soul even the scientists cannot resolve it unanimously in spite of 10,000 folds of scientific advancement as seen by the bet of Allah in his Noble Quran in 17:85 holding on for 1400 + years though we are living very close with soul through out our life.
