Ten Proofs for the Existence of God — Page 20
Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad 20 َ اَمَات َ هُو ٗ نَّه َ وَا ٰ بْك َ وَا َ اَضَْك َ هُو ٗ نَّه َ وَا َٰی الْمُنْت َ رَبِّك ٰ اِل َّ وَاَن 10 ٰ تُْن نُّطْفَةٍاِذَا ِْ م ٰ وَالُْنْث َ الذَّكَر ِْ الزَّوْجَي َ خَلَق ٗ وَاَ نَّه َا ی وَاَحْ That is, God has given to the prophets the knowledge that everything has its ultimate end with Him. All happiness and grief emanates from Him and life and death rests in His hands. It is He Who created both men and women from the emission of a droplet. In these verses, Allah the Exalted focuses the attention of people to the fact that every action has an agent behind it. It is for certain that whenever an act occurs, there is perforce a performer of that act. Thus if people ponder over the workings of the universe, it will bring them to the conclusion that all things are ultimately caused by God Who is the ultimate or first cause of everything and by Whose command everything occurs. Therefore, God reminds people of their initial state and says they have been created from something [as insignificant as] a sperm drop and the further back they trace their beginnings the more insignificant they become, therefore, they could not have been their own creators. There can be no creation without a creator and human beings are not the agents of their own existence as is evident from the journey 10 Surah An-Najm , 53:43-47 [Publishers]
