Objects of Human Life 145 one is not required to see outward; the beauty of God is obvious to the heart of every person. Anyone who honestly reflects can reach Him very quickly. Every single iota of all that exists in the world is testifying to the existence of God Almighty. There is nothing in the world which does not vociferously proclaim the evidence in favour of the existence of a God who is the Creator of both space and time. The piece of paper you are holding, the pen, the table and chair, the very earth you are sitting on, the clothes that you are wearing, your hands, feet, nose and ears; everything provides evidence that God does, in fact, exist. People like fine clothing, beautiful women, delicious food and plenty of wealth. Reflect then as to how beautiful is the one who has created them! So why don’t you fall in love with Him? [Allah the Almighty says in the Holy Quran]: 5 5 Allah—there is no God but He, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining. Slumber seizes Him not, nor sleep. To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that will intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them; and they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He pleases. His throne extends over the heavens and the earth; and the care of them burdens Him not; and He is the High, the Great. ( S u rah al- Baqarah , 2:256)
