The secret of life and its end

Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, is the Sole Possessor of the
secret of life. There is no Creator other than Him. He is also the Only
Maintainer of the factors ensuring the continuity of life represented in
air, water and food. Allah, Whose Majesty reigns supreme, is the
Creator of the atmosphere. Certainly, the air that we all breathe is not
created by man but by Allah, all praise and glory be to Him; also the
water that we all drink is the Creation of Allah, all praise and glory be to Him.
The process of rainfall, starting from evaporation that takes place
under the effect of sunrays, to the condensation of that vapor at the
higher atmospheric layers followed by the formation of clouds, then
the winds that push the clouds to wherever Allah wills for rain to fall.
All this is the creation of Allah, all praise and glory be to Him.
We say to those who claim that man can cause rainfall, ‘We will not
argue with you. The world is full of deserts and Allah, all praise and
glory be to Him, has created rivers that run for thousands of
kilometers and has originated the sources of water that guarantee the
continuity of their flowing. We shall not ask you to create a river for
us, but all we ask from those who claim the ability to cause rainfall to
create a small canal, not a river, just a small canal in the desert. When
you succeed in doing so, you may come ahead and claim that you are
able to cause rainfall. But before this you have nothing to say to us.’
We do not want to be engaged in mere sophistry based on no
objectivity for we are real tired of empty talk. Allah, all praise and
glory be to Him, is the One Who created sustenance. He is the One
Who supplied plant with water and the necessary elements present in
the soil. From the miracles of the Creation of Allah manifested in the
seed is its dependency in its nutrition on a food store present within
the same seed. That store keeps nourishing the seed till it gives off
leaves through which it respires, and roots through which it sucks food
from the soil.
None can claim that he created the first seed of everything that exists
in the universe. For instance, Allah created the first wheat seed, then it
was transmitted from one generation to another same as everything on
earth. However, man can develop the species in order to get a better
harvest and increase productivity, but the beginning remains only in
the Possession of Allah, for man can never create even a single seed.
The factors of the continuity of life are all in the Hands of Allah, all
praise and glory be to Him. In this regard Allah says (what means):

“Then tell Me (about) the human semen that you emit. Is it you
who create it (i.e. make this semen into a perfect human being), or
are We the Creator?” (Al-Wâqi‘ah, 56: 58- 59)

The semen is one of the causes of creation. Allah, all praise and glory
be to Him, is the One Who created and originated it, maintaining life
by it from the lifetime of Adam (peace be upon him) till the Day of
Resurrection. Allah, Whose Majesty reigns supreme, says (what
means):

“Tell Me! The water that you drink. Is it you who cause it from
the rainclouds to come down, or are We the Causer of it to come
down?” (Al-Wâqi‘ah, 56: 68-69)

Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, wants to draw our attention to
the fact that rainfall is only in His Power. Anything else that is said is
untrue. Allah, all glory be to Him, is the only One Who is capable of
providing us with sweet water from the saline. With respect to sowing,
The Truth says in His entirely clear Qurânic verses (what means):

“Tell Me! The seed that you sow in the ground. Is it you that make
it grow, or are We the Grower?” (Al-Wâqi‘ah, 56: 63-64)

Man’s task is only to sow, whereas the seeds to be cultivated are a
direct creation by Allah. Similarly, the water by which the seeds are
supplied and the life cycle of the plant until it becomes a tree and
yields fruits are from Allah. We only sow the seed in the ground then
stand and wait until it becomes a fruitful tree. We have no hand in its
growth or its life cycle. Afterwards, the tree yields fruits and we
gather them.
