The Qur’an For All Humanity
Wise Men
~ 10 ~
provided, should there be no other fate for man but
an endless chain of woe and agony?
Then he finds it impossible too that in a world of
boundless opportunities, where tiny seeds sown in
the earth have the potential to grow into a whole
forest of lush green vegetation, man should reap no
fruit after leading a life of piety and virtue. In a
world where a bright day follows each dark night,
centuries go by but justice does not make its
appearance. And where earthquakes and tempests,
reined in by nature, slumber in the lap of the earth,
man continues to oppress people without anything
ever staying his hands.
Those who go deeply into the matter find it
inconceivable that a meaningful universe should
culminate in a meaningless end. Therefore they
believe in the Caller of Truth with the conviction
that his message, in the language of words, is a
silent endorsement of the same truth as is being
broadcast every moment in the entire universe.
