…and He is cognizant of all creation...

…and He is cognizant of all creation, *** *** Second statement: He Who has made for you the fire (to burn) from the green tree, so that with it you kindle (fire). *** *** The maker is the same who devised it in such a manner that the green tree (Afaa) when pressed, water comes out of it. But when its branch is pressed and rubbed with the branch of the Narkh tree, sparks and fire come out. Can He then not make the dead alive again? He can surely reconstruct man from his scattered particles.

Creation of the skies is more wonderful than the creation of man The third statement: Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth able to create the like of them? Yea! and He is the Creator (of all), the Knower. *** *** Here is a rhetorical question. Would the One Who created heavens and the earth not be able to enliven the dead? The machinery of heavens is much greater than the creation of man and earth and whatever is in it.

Certainly the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of the men, but most people do not know. (40:57) *** *** There are innumerable heavenly bodies in the outer space and some of them are millions of times bigger than earth. Only God knows what is therein. They move in a fixed manner and determined distances are maintained between them. There are also millions of galaxies and their orbits.

Again every galaxy has millions of suns, some of them being millions of times bigger than our sun, which is one million and three hundred thousand times bigger than our earth. Light travels at a speed of three thousand kilometers per second and sun’s light takes eight minutes and eighteen seconds to reach earth. How long is the distance? There also are stars so distant that it would take a light year for their light to reach us.

For some it would take a hundred light years, some, a thousand light years, some even a million light years just to be seen by us. There are even some stars whose light, since their creation, has not yet reached us yet. It is said that if a train is sent from earth to reach, say our sun, it would require 350 years to reach there. If they shoot a missile to the sun it would take twelve years to hit there.

Is not He Who created the heavens and the earth… *** *** Is not the One Who is the Creator of such huge heavenly bodies, able to make the like of them? Here “them” means “Like man”.
