CREATOR’S REVENGE FROM HIS OWN PRIVILEGED CREATURE ON EARTH (P-1)
Dr. Muhammad Shoaib Shahid

It is worth considering why the Almighty Allah (God) is so annoyed by the generation of Adam to crush human beings globally. No doubt He has given Adam the status of His best desired creature for which He created the universe and even ordered angels and Satan to bow down to after blowing in His spirit (RUH) in Adam. All these detailed given in the holy books and in the Qur’an are provided in Surahs Araaf (7) for the guidance of mankind that various nations till the period of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) were crushed who instead of thanking the blessings, disobeyed the Master’s order.
Presently people from variant faiths, goals and missions of life with religious, social, political and economic orientations have set their own parameters to pursue life. In this exclusive subjective blind race, they have gone to the extent that they do not even bother to kill and crush the opponent forces or depressed classes. The super powers often proudly apply lethal arms brutally to dethrone the existing states. In order to understand the present epidemic’s fatal attack on the mankind, it seems equally important to study and analyze the attitudes and behavior of present day nations who have diverged from the straight, natural prescribed path.
In the era of capitalism, having least concern about Divine power, mostly people are busy with big plans to achieve the best but have no time to think about their origin or purpose of creation and even never worry about death. If someone asks about it, they express it as negative thinking or pessimist thoughts in the charms of life. Parents’ training and models are free of such facts of life. Even in developing Muslim courtiers with Islamic heritage and ethical traditions, affluent people encourage the teenagers to make plans to be rich in shortest time. They appreciate such adolescents as mentally smart even when they use cheating tools in business dealing. As a result, people’s attitudes about life, death and prosperity have changed, and traditional concepts are no more taken seriously in family affairs. A renowned multimillionaire tycoon in the construction field, when asked about his speedy progress over the strict state rules, narrated on a national program that he knows the art of how to wheel the official file through lump sum bribes.
Whenever I have a chance, I have asked questions from the psychologists, social scientists and young generation about what is the purpose of human creation: have they come into life by order or by own choice to be born with certain individual color, race, gender, physique, bio-chemical traits, etc., in a specific family, parents, siblings on certain date, time, location, etc? The answer was no or I do not know. When a person is born, does he know what type of education, community training, job, children, wife or company he will have in life? Again the answer was no as none are aware of when, where and how he will pass life, die and be placed in a certain grave yard. Even one is not sure what type of food, friends or challenges he will have within a week. This phenomenon of human beings is narrated in surahs Luqman V-31:33-34,”O mankind! Be afraid of your Lord (by keeping your duty to Him and avoiding all evil), and fear a Day when no father can avail aught for his son, nor a son avail aught for his father. Verily, the Promise of Allah is true, let not then this (worldly) present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver (Satan) deceive you about Allah. Verily, Allah! With Him (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour, He sends down the rain, and knows that which is in the wombs. No person knows what he will earn tomorrow, and no person knows in what land he will die. Verily, Allah is All-Knower, All-Aware (of things)”.
It seems that such persons or their significant others, either were not exposed about the facts of life or they just observed the models of collecting wealth by hook or crook means. If these facts narrated are obvious, then Who is creating, providing sources, and even a life span and death? Unfortunately, human beings are involve in self achievements but the parents and social authorities only give them the model of how to earn maximum in shortest time and store maximum for recognition by ill means. In fact, Human beings created for a purpose/cause on this universe V-23:12-16, “And indeed We created man (Adam) out of an extract of clay (water and earth). Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as a Nutfah (mixed drops of the male and female sexual discharge) (and lodged it) in a safe lodging (womb of the woman). Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood), then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh, then We made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators. After that, surely, you will die. Then (again), surely, you will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection.”
Such arrogant people, even by using others or by playing with the rights or resources without any fear of accountability after death, will leave this world alone with empty hands. They will face the final judgment in the court of that Authority who has given them an entity and full life structure for a purpose to thank and submit self for all the provisions of life and death. It is interesting to add about the over-confident that when a person gains momentum in the peak of heath, wealth, status and authenticity, if guided to follow the right path and submit to the will of Lord (Creator), he reacts with pride and even challenges his Protector’s existence. In surahs Ya-Sin V-36: 76-83, this phenomenon is narrated as” So let not their speech, then, grieve you (O Muhammad). Verily, We know what they conceal and what they reveal. Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah (mixed male and female discharge semen drops). Yet behold! He (stands forth) as an open opponent. And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotted away and became dust?" Say: (O Muhammad) "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time! And He is the All-Knower of every creation!" He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith. Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! So Glorified is He and Exalted above all that they associate with Him, and in Whose Hands is the dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returned.”

4 年Dear Dr. Muhammad Shoaib Shahid, Very nice article. I am glad as a renowned psychologist and educationist your articles are hope and lessons for all of us. However, I would like to comment on the subject (mostly the title) of this article. Allah is Rehman and Raheem, He sent so many messengers and final the last prophet (Muhmmad - PBUH) as a Rehmat ul Almeen (not for Muslims not for earth but beyond the universe). As today's theories and some hints (scientifically) suggest multiple universes So He sent a Rehma'h for entire universe(s). Then the Biggest question is why a creator, who is so generous, so kind, will take a revenge from his creation. While the creation entirely depends upon Him for every single thing. Above all, He has setup a day of judgement where every one will be judged for their right or wrong doings and will be awarded or punished accordingly. Is not this better to think this is a test to mankind, as Allah (SWT) says: "And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient: 2-155". Those who be patient and ask for forgiveness of Allah in this test will be the ones be more purified (spiritually as well as physically). Also, Allah (SWT) says "What comes to you of good is from Allah, but what comes to you of evil, [O man], is from yourself. And We have sent you, [O Muhammad], to the people as a messenger, and sufficient is Allah as Witness: 4:79". In everyday life, we have a saying that "what goes around comes around" so sure mankind became so mean that human started thinking they got control on everything. But here comes the result of our deeds and now everything is back to square one (helpless) and this tells that mankind is seeking forgiveness from the Creator. So in otherwords this is a reminder not a revenge from the Creator. I hope you do not mind my comments. Best Regards !
