FAQs

Once, someone asked me how can we know God, I asked him to reflect on the fingers of his hands and the toes on his feet. His life would have been difficult had his fingers been short and his toes long! Our fingers and toes are just the right size for our hands and feet to function properly. They indicate wise planning that only the Creator and Provider of the universe, who is beyond man, could have arranged for. If one does not accept such a God, the Creator and Provider and Sustainer of the universe, one cannot correctly understand anything in the universe at all. Knowing God is as easy as knowing oneself.

Yes, seeking faith is a human trait and the seeking spirit is a part of the fibre of human nature. All of us feel that we suffer from limitations that make us helpless. These experiences—a loss, illness, accident, death or old age—repeatedly remind us of the fact that we need a Superior Power without which we cannot go on in life. These feelings are psychological proof of the existence of God. In this way, each of us, in our inner beings, witnesses the existence of God. The nature of every human being constantly urges them to recognize the need for God. Without God, our lives cannot be complete. Without the help of God, we cannot succeed in life. It is everyone’s urge to find the higher truth, which is nothing but the Creator of our world. Without finding the higher truth no one can be satisfied. In this sense, God is the need of every man and woman, there is no doubt about it.

Why was this world made? Why was man born into this world? Why, after a certain period of time, does he pass away? What will happen after death? These are the most important questions concerning the origins and fate of mankind, and they should never be far from people’s minds. Finding the correct answers to these questions has always been one of man’s most important quests.

Pondered over for thousands of years, these questions have been variously answered by different people. However, these answers can be placed in two broad categories: one, which holds the great array of wonders in this world to be purposeless, and the other, which asserts that man was created with a purpose and that he has a definite goal.

While the first view tends to be subscribed to by poets, philosophers and secular scholars, the second view is firmly upheld by that very special class of beings called prophets, or messengers of God. The most authentic testament to the second view has been provided by the Prophet Muhammad.

Many arguments can be put forward in support of the answers in both of these categories. It is very obvious, however, that the notion of purposelessness is not in keeping with the structure of life and universe. The idea, on the other hand, of purposeful creation, falls exactly into place, for the simple reason that it contains no inherent contradictions.

The world into which man is born is fraught with significance. There is nothing which is of a meaningless or random nature. It is quite unthinkable that man, with his meaningful life, born into a meaningful universe, should find no purpose in creation. Where there is meaningfulness, there will, of necessity, be purposefulness. This aspect of the universe is a clear verification of the Prophet’s answer.
