Allāh the Exalted. God's greatness as is said: مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارَاهِ وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَا راه 80 123 (Part Number: 29). This means that: What ails you that you do not admit the greatness of Allāh? Whereas the differentiation of capacities and temperaments was created by the All-Wise so that His Greatness and Power might be recognized. . As is said at another place: والله خَلَقَ كُلَّ دَابَّةٍ مِّن مَّاء فَمِنْهُمْ مِّنْ يَمْنِي عَلَى بَطْنِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مِّن يَمْشِي عَلى رِجْلَيْنِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مِّن يَمْشِي عَلَى أَرْبَعِ يَخْلُقُ اللهُ مَا يَشَاءُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرُ 81. This means that: (Part Number: 18). Allāh has created every animal from water. Some of them move on their bellies, some of them on two feet and some on four. Allāh creates what He pleases. Allāh has power to do all that He wills. . This is an indication that all these different species have been created so that the diverse powers of the Divine might be demonstrated. Thus, the differentiation in the temperaments and the nature of creation is due to these three considerations which God has set out in the verses cited above.
