The Essence of Islam – Volume I — Page 78
78. Essence of Islam-1 is to reverse the law of nature. For a perfect composition it is necessary that the order of the composition should be in such accord with the order of nature as if it were its photograph in which that which is natural and in fact prior should be prior in description also. Thus in these verses the highest eloquence is displayed in which the natural order is perfectly observed. The verses follow the order which everyone possessing insight would observe in the order of the universe. Is this not the straightforward way that the order in which Divine bounties appear in the book of nature should be followed also in the Revealed Book? To take exception to such an excellent and wise order is the characteristic of those blind ones who have lost at once both their sight and their insight. 48 بد اندیش که برکنده باد نماید هنرش در نظر :. We revert to the subject and proceed to expound what is set out in Surah Fatihah from Rabb-ul- Ālamīn to Mālik-iYaum-id-Din. As expounded in the Holy Qur'ān, it comprises four grand verities:. The first verity is that God Almighty is Rabb-ul-'Alamin, that is to say, that God is the Rabb and Master of all that which is in the universe. All that appears, is seen, felt or perceived by reason, is His creation, and that true existence belongs only to God Almighty and to nothing else. . In short, the universe with all its components is created and is the creation of God. There is nothing in the components of the universe which is not the creation of God. 48. The eye of the ill-wisher, wherever it lands;. Is prone to see evil even where there is good. [Publisher]
