Bismillah
Praise be to Allah, adequate praise to His endless bounties and blessings that we can never count or identify, blessings and peace be upon his final Messenger our beloved teacher and leader Mohammad, his household, wives, and all other prophets and Messengers
Few weeks ago I was discussing an issue with a colleague, he told me that he ran into a site dedicated to discrediting the Quran and he bumped into the Ayahs saying:
<b></b>
"Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood), then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh, then We made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh, and then We brought it forth as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators." (Quran 23:14)
And
" "Will you call upon Ba'l (a well- known idol of his nation whom they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators," (Quran 37:125)
According to the site, how can Muslims claim to worship only one Deity who Is Allah The One Who Is not made of parts while their Quran clearly states otherwise. They based their argument on the word Best of creators mentioned in both Ayahs. This is where the problem lied as to how come we worship only One Allah when Quran explicitly states best of creators implying there are other creators?
Sobhan Allah, if one thinks for just a moment, this noble Ayah stands actually as a challenge, miracle and strong evidence of the divinity of Quran and the issue can be easily resolved.
In this Ayah, Allah Tells us there will come a time when mankind shall manufacture things, make sculpture and others, then becomes infatuated with his own manufacture calling it creation. Take for example, Michelangelo's infamous statue of David blessing and peace be upon him, after he completed the work, he became so much infatuated with his own hand made piece that he kept asking it to speak. He felt like a creator, similar examples are numerous. On the same theme, one who in involved in fine arts (paintings specially human portrays) they turn so much attached to their work with a sense of creation. In some cases, when one is highly commending the artists work, they would say, O I feel it will speak.
The term creation is even widely used nowadays in the IT field, create a file, folder, system…etc. Leave alone the cloning trend that is growing at the present time, taking mankind to a totally new era and direction. All this, whoever is involved with it, somehow or the other do give themselves the title of creator.
Allah The All Knowing, The All Knowledgeable, The All Seeing, Knew ahead that mankind will take this position. Thus Allah Is telling us, even those you are called creators, I shall remain the best of creators. Because simply, let one of those provide the main, basic, elementary and original ingredients to do manufacture or make any of such work. Let those who are involved in cloning bring an original version of what they clone. Can they??????? Certainly not, because there is only One real Creator.
