Imām Abū ‘Abdullah Muhammad bn Abī Bakr bn Ayyub Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyyah
said:
Allāh Ta’ala created the universe and everything in it. Those things indicate His actions, the actions show His attributes, and those things created also indicate the presence of its creator, and that implies His existence, power, will, and knowledge. For it is never possible to have voluntary actions coming from a non-existent or a being without power nor life nor knowledge or will.
In addition, what the creations possessed of different characteristics indicate the will of the creator, and that His actions, is never based on so called ‘nature’. And what the creations possessed of Benefits, wisdom, and praiseworthy goals indicate His wisdom subhānallah wa Ta’ala, and the generosity or goodness In such creations show His Mercy.
And what they have of mighty, retaliation, punishment indicates His Anger, and the attributes of honor, and care, show the love of the creator.
And the process of development of the creations from weakness to strength, then to its completion shows the sign of the occurance of resurrection. The cycle of plants, animals also points to this fact.
Hence, the characteristics of the creations show the attributes of the creator and the truthfulness of the Message that the Messengers ‘Alayhimmusalam came with.
Allāhu A’alām.
Bārakallāhu fīkum.
Jazākumullahu Khayran.
