LIFE IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF QURANIC REVELATIONS - A BRIEF INTRODUCTORY CHAPTER and death makes it possible for life to evolve in its character, design, style and mode of survival. In this grand scheme of things there is no flaw whatsoever because it is. He who governs from the seat of His majesty with absolute wisdom. Nowhere in His creation can one find any flaw or contradiction. The import of these verses is manifestly clear. . In the Darwinian hypothesis of The Survival of the. Fittest as we shall discuss later, there is no guarantee for a flawless operation which must always result in the survival of the fittest. On the contrary, some of those animals which may survive in the struggle may be fit only to survive that particular challenge. As far as the more evolved qualities of life are concerned however, the mere survival of an animal in a given situation certainly does not offer a guarantee that with it these qualities will also be preserved. This is so because there is no room for a Conscious Selector in that scheme, capable of invariably choosing better characters emerging during the struggle between life and death. The. Quranic vision of creation speaks of a universally flawless operative system, controlled to its finest detail so there is not the least chance of flaws and defects stealing their way into this scheme of things: تَبْرَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرُ * الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَوةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ * الَّذِى خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمواتِ طِبَاقًا مَا تَرَى فِي خَلْقِ الْبَصَرَهَلْ * ثُمَّ الرَّحْمَنِ مِنْ تَفْوُت فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَى مِنْ فُطُورِ ارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ كَرَّتَيْنِ يَنْقَلِبْ إِلَيْكَ الْبَصَرُ حَاسِئًا وَهُوَ 67:2-5.
