BarĀhĪn-e-a H madiyya — Part three 106 demands. At whatever stage the Creator would place a created being, the latter could claim that he is entitled to a higher rank. Since God Almighty can bestow infinite ranks, and the creation of man is not the end of His infinite powers, the demands of creatures will never come to an end, and at every rank of creation, creatures would have a right to continue making demands ad infinitum. This would be an unending chain of demands. If the search should be for the wisdom underlying this differenti- ation of ranks, it should be understood that the Holy Quran has set forth three types of wisdom in that context, which are quite obvious and clear and cannot be denied by any reasonable person. They are as follows: The first is that the affairs of the world, that is, matters related to human society, may be adjusted in the best manner, as is said: اَنْمَسَق ْمُهَنْيَب ْمُهَتَشْيِعَّم يِف ِةوٰيَحْلا اَيْنُّدلا َو اَنْعَفَر ْمُهَضْعَب َقْوَف ٍضْعَب ٍتٰجَرَد َذِخَّتَيِّل ْمُهُضْعَب َو اْوُلاَق ْوَل اَل َلِّزُن اَذٰه ُنٰاْرُقْلا ىٰلَع ٍلُجَر َنِّم ِنْيَتَيْرَقْلا ٍمْيِظَع ْمُهَا َنْوُمِسْقَي َتَمْحَر َكِّبَر١ؕ ُنْحَن 1 Part Number 25 — اًضْعَب اًّيِرْخُس١ؕ َو ُتَمْحَر َكِّبَر ٌرْيَخ اَّمِّم َنْوُعَمْجَي This means that the disbelievers say that why was this Quran not revealed to some high-ranking chieftain—or a wealthy person from among the chieftains, or wealthy people of Makkah or Taif—so that it should have suited his eminence, and by virtue of his dignity, states- manship, and expenditure of wealth, the religion could have spread more speedily. Why was this honour instead given to a poor man who had no material property to call his own.
