28. SIGNS OF HIS EXISTENCE
Exalted is He Who manifested to mankind until there is nothing hidden from them, then He veiled Himself until He no longer can be seen!
He manifested through His creations that they all speak out about having a Creator Who created them according to His Divine Wisdom.
This is evident particularly in mankind whom He created from a drop of water and whom He constructed marvellously. He empowered them with understanding, reasoning, sensibility and knowledge— for whom He laid down earth. He created water, air, made plants grow and lifted the sky above that He enlightened with sun during the daytime, then brought forth darkness in the night so mankind can rest.
And also many other creadons that are known, all speaking out with an eloquently clear voice pointing to the Creator Who manifested in these signs a clear way.
Then He sent the Messengers; poor, weak and made them subdue the tyrants and manifested on their hands miracles that no human can be capable of! All these also indicate the truthfulness of the existence of the Creator.
For instance, [Prophet] Musa {‘alayhi as-salam) arrived at the shore of the sea and He split it to leave people no doubt that it is the Creator who did that. While [Prophet] ‘Isa {‘alayhi as-salam) speaks to the dead so it rises. He sends birds throwing rocks from hell at those who intended to attack His House.
Which all indicate the manifestation of the Creator (,al-Khalicj), exalted be He.
That said, when the intelligent realises these facts that leave no space for doubt or suspicion, as His manifestation is evident and obvious through signs that cannot be interpreted in any other way. Then some events happen that may conceal the wisdom behind such events, similar to what I have mentioned previously like how enemies of Allah are given power over His supporters.
One should realise that there is a wisdom that we do not know, therefore the mind should submit to the Wisdom of the Wise.
Truly, he who submits will be safe and he who objects will be ruined.
