The Call of the Quran
3. Witness of the Universe

negligible part of the vastness of nature, justify his
rebellion against his Maker?
Every particle of the expanding universe is
performing its respective function. Each moves on a
set course, clearly indicating that some powerful
and omniscient Being is controlling it by His will.
The taking to a separate course of action as a matter
of human volition in this vast universe is a pointer
to man’s deviation from total assimilation with the
rest of the universe.
The entire universe is in consistent progress and
motion. None of the major orbiting bodies ever
collide with each other. To indulge in conflict is a
purely human characteristic. The entire universe,
for all its incessant action, heads towards a positive
goal. Man, on the contrary, opts for such courses of
action as lead to chaos and destruction.
Two separate water bodies do not trespass upon each
other’s territory. Even a herd of bulls moves and
feeds within its defined territories. One does not cross
over into the other’s land. It is man who does not
want to abide by any laws. Honey-bees accomplish
their constructive work with exemplary discipline
