History of Science and Islam

this is the end of our journey in space. During this journey, you witnessed the wonderful creation of the universe and saw that, with its precisely-tuned equilibrium, Earth is a planet specially created for us in the universe. Now let's briefly go over what has been discussed throughout the book.

Our Earth is located in still, cold, lifeless space. If we compare space to a vast, desolate dry desert, then it would be no exaggeration to compare our planet to a castle in this desert. This castle protects us from desert storms and extreme heat, and provides us with everything we need. Just like this castle in the desert, Earth is our castle in space. Like a spacecraft travelling through space, it protects us against the dangers of space. Here, there is plenty of everything: water, air and everything we need. A castle could not come into existence in the desert spontaneously. This also holds true for our planet. It is obvious that Earth is a sign of a superior creation.

Moreover, millions of delicate balances, other than the ones you have learned about in this book, exist in the universe. What we have seen here alone definitely proves that neither the universe nor Earth could have come into existence by a series of gradual coincidences.

All these, again, illustrate an obvious fact. Allah, the Possessor of Infinite Power and Omnipotence, has created the universe, stars, planets, mountains and seas in perfection, and given life to people and all living things. This perfect creation of Allah is described in the Qur'an thus:

Are you stronger in structure or is heaven? He (Allah) built it. He raised its vault high and made it level. He darkened its night and brought forth its morning light. After that He smoothed out the earth and brought forth from it its water and its pastureland and made the mountains firm, for you and for your livestock to enjoy. (Surat an-Nazi'at: 27-33)

Dear Children! Always keep in mind that Allah created you and everything you possess. Everything is a blessing from Allah. You should always be aware of this truth, think about the blessings you have and be thankful to Allah for them.

They said, "Glory be to You! We have no knowledge
except what You have taught us.
You are the All-Knowing, the All-Wise."
(Surat al-Baqara: 32)
