more perfect than the examples we mentioned—a big city or
the bowl of paint. All these cannot be the product of
coincidence.
This perfect system could have only been brought into
being by the will of Almighty Allah. Allah is able to create
anything. He just says to it, "Be!" and it is.
Allah created a beautiful world in a flawless universe for
us, and He created animals and plants in it. He created the sun
to emit energy and to make us warm. So finely adjusted is the
distance of the sun from the earth that were it a little closer our
world would be very hot, but if it were any farther away, then
we would all freeze.
As scientists uncover more of these facts, we come to
know the might of Allah better. That is because matter can
neither make decisions nor carry them out. This means there is
a Creator Who designs and creates this universe. Matter, the
underlying substance of the stars, human beings, animals,
plants and of everything, whether animate or inanimate, is all
under Allah's control. That is why everything on earth is
orderly. Because everything is created by Allah, the Maker and
the Giver of Form.
