The Resurrection and The Philosophy of Creation - Al-Shia The Scientific and Cultural Website of Shia belief The Resurrection and The Philosophy of Creation 2022-10-08 408 Views Resurrection , Hereafter , Day of Judgement , Philosophy of Creation Many ask the question, “Why did God create us?” And sometimes they go further than this and ask, “What is the philosophy of Creation of this great universe?” A gardener plants a tree for its fruit and he ploughs the earth for seeds and spreads the seeds, why did the Great Gardner of Creation create us?

Was God lacking something that He created us? If so, He will be in need of something and this does not suit the fact that He is in the station of the Creator and is Infinite in Existence. There are many words which have been written in response to this question but it can be summarized in a few sentences. It is a great mistake to compare God’s Qualities with our own. As we are limited creatures, everything we do is in order to eliminate a need.

We study in order to make up for the deficiency we have in learning. We work in order to make up for the economic deficiency we have. We seek after health centres and treatment in order to meet our health requirements. In relation to God Who is Needless from all points of view, if we do something we must seek Him in other than His Existence. He does not create in order to benefit from His Creation, rather His goal is to Be for His creatures.

He is like a sun which is full of radiance and is Infinite without Him having any need, He illuminates so that all may gain advantage from it. This is what His Infinite Essence is and His special blessing where He has taken the hands of His creatures and moved them towards transformation and perfection. Our creation from non-being was itself an outstanding step of transformation.

The sending of the prophets and the descent of a heavenly Book and the formulation of laws and programs are each to be reckoned to be a basis for us. “This universe is a great university and we are students in this university”. “This world is a readied pasture and we are the farmers of this land”. “This world is a beneficial, commercial centre and we are merchants in this market.” (1) How can we, for the creation of humanity, be the purpose of a goal?

When we look around ourselves and we look at each and every creature, each one has a goal.
