Revelation, Inspiration, Vision and Dream وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَذا بَاطِلاً 23 93. That is to say, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of the night and the day, there are a number of Signs to prove the existence of the. Creator of the Universe and His might, for people of understanding. Wise people are only those who remember Allāh standing, sitting and lying on their sides and keep meditating and pondering over the creation of the heavens and the earth, which impels them to supplicate:. Lord Thou hast not created all this without purpose; indeed, everything in Thy creation is full of the manifestations of Thy Power and Wisdom, which points to Thy. Blessed Being. . Other revealed books, which have been perverted, urge adherence to unreasonable and impossible matters. As, for instance, does the Bible; but this is not the fault of revelation. It is the fault of defective reasoning. Had those who believe in them possessed sane reason, they would not have followed these perverted books and they would not have permitted such thinking about the unchangeable Perfect and Eternal God that He took on the condition of an helpless embryo and was nourished on impure sustenance and took on an impure body and was born through an impure passage and came into the mortal world, and after enduring all sorts of torments gave up the ghost in extreme misery calling out 'Eli Eli'. . It is revelation which has stamped out this error. Holy is. Allah! How exalted and what an ocean of mercy is the. Word which pulled the worshippers of creatures back to the Unity of God. How dear and attractive is that light 23 Al-e-Imran, 3:191-192 [Publisher]
