The Creation Plan of God
The Creation Plan of God
~ 14 ~
Muslims led their lives in a state of perfect peace
and normalcy.
This is not due to any deficiency in the Islamic State,
but rather to the exigencies of the “training course”
established by God Himself for the moral discipline
of human beings. As mentioned above, it is not part
of God’s plan that an ideal society should be formed
in this world in which people will lead peaceful
lives. According to God’s scheme of things, what is
of actual importance is the preparation and
formation of individuals. This unavoidably takes
place in an atmosphere, not of peace and
tranquility, but of turbulence and turmoil.
In the present world, neither at the national or
communal level, do we possess the moral and
physical resource which are essential to the
construction of a high standard society. However,
we do have the means to build the ideal character in
individuals, and this is an ongoing reality— as a
requirement of God’s Creation plan, which is
concerned not with the building of a heavenly
society, but the building of the heavenly individual
who is fit to dwell in the ideal society of paradise.
