Here we had previously presented an interesting example, and that is that if a fetus which is in its mother’s womb had sufficient intelligence and if they were to say to it, “There is nothing after this life for you,” the fetus would most certainly object to this and would ask, “What purpose is there in my being imprisoned in this environment? To go through all this and then nothing?” The Creator had a purpose in this creation!
But if we are assured that these several months are but a quickly passing phase and the preparatory stage for relatively long life in this world, a world which in relation to the world of a fetus, is extensive and full of light and in relation to that it has several stages, the fetus will be assured that the period of gestation makes sense and that it has a goal and because of that, it is bearable. The Holy Quran says: “And you certainly know already the first form of creation.
Why then do you not celebrate praises?” (2) In summary, this world cries out with all of its essences that there is another world after this world, otherwise, it would be useless.
Listen to the words of the Holy Quran: “Did you then think that We had created You in jest and that you would not be brought back to Us (for an account)?” (3) This refers to the fact that if there were no return to God, as mentioned in the Holy Quran, through the resurrection, the creation of human beings would be equivalent to being useless. The conclusion is that the philosophy of creation says that after this world, another world must exist. NOTES: __________________ 1.
