62 Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad tioned in light of belief in the Unity of God. So one may deduce from this that if the imprint of God's Unity was not found to exist in every aspect of this universe and if the Trinity was not a false and unnatural doctrine, why would people be judged in accordance with belief in the Unity of God? The Imprint of God's Unity is Present in Every Aspect of Nature The fact of the matter is that the very nature of man possesses the imprint of: الَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى Allah says, 'Am I not your Lord?' They say, 'Yea, we do bear witness. ' The instinctive nature of man and all the elements of the universe have no relation whatsoever to the concept of Trinity. Even if one observes a droplet of water, it emerges round in shape and does not fall in the form of a triangle. This also clear- ly establishes that the Unity of God is etched into every aspect of nature. One ought to reflect closely that a droplet of water is round. Spherical form bears the hallmark of oneness because it is free from the confines of orientation. A three- sided figure however is bound by relative direction. Similarly, observe fire and I will find that it is cone-shaped and possesses a round abstract figure. Even fire radiates with the light of God's Oneness. If one were to take the earth for example and inquire of the Europeans as to its figure, they would say it is round. Hence, the further our investigations into the natural world advance, it is the Oneness of God that shall continue to emerge in every instance. Allah the Exalted states: you إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَوتِ وَالْأَرْضِ In this verse, Allah expounds that the God presented by the Quran is one in sup- port of Whose existence the earth and heaven are full of proofs. There is an adage by a sage that I like very much where he states that if all the books in the world were thrown into the ocean, the God of Islam would still remain because He is not part of a trinity of three or a tale. In essence, a reality can only be considered firmly established if its truth does not hinge upon some other specific factor inso- far that if the latter ceases to exists, then so does the former. Tales and fables leave an impress neither on the heart and nor on the Book of Nature. In fact, such tales existed only until Hindu divines, pundits and the Christian clergy retold them, 1 al-A'raf, 7:173 Aal-e-Imran, 3:191
