“Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "BE!" and it is!”
[Noble Quran 36:82]
1. A long, long time ago, there used to be no earth and no people. There used to be no sun nor moon. Not even one twinkling star. Nothing whatsoever was there. Nothing was there except Almighty Allah by Himself.
2. Then, Allah (swt) created the angels. There were many, many of them. They all worshiped and prayed to Him. But Allah wanted to do more; much more.
3. What Allah did was to create the universe, including the stars and the sun. They twinkled in the sky making it look beautiful. Some stars were big and very bright; others were small and far apart. The sun was very bright, shiny and hot. But Allah wanted to do even more.
4. What Allah did was to create the earth and the moon. At first the earth did not have people, it was so quiet, very quiet. Now the earth had days coming and going, but there were no animals and no people. Yet, Allah wanted to do more.
5. What Allah did was to create plants, which grew here and there, covering the earth. It rained and rained, and the plants grew. Still, the earth did not have animals nor people. That was a long time ago. The earth had plants, the clouds, the rain and the snow, the seas and the oceans, yet, there were no people. Yet, Allah wanted to do more, much more.
6. Allah (God) wanted to be known, appreciated, and glorified. Allah wanted to do more. Do you know what Allah did? He created animals on the earth, the animal kingdom. There were numerous animals, but still no people.
7. So Allah (God) created man.
ALLAH CREATES MAN
Yes, Allah Almighty wanted to create something spe¬cial. So, He created man. He created the very first man, whose name was Adam. Allah (God) created Adam from elements of the earth. Just imagine, Allah created a man from clay, no more! He created Adam, and graciously gave him eyes to see with, ears to hear with, a tongue to taste with, and skin to feel with. He made Adam from the elements of the earth, and Adam could think and talk, and he could move and hear, and he could become tired and sleepy. See how great Allah Almighty is!
Allah (swt) created all these wonderful things over long periods. It took six very long periods and only Allah Almighty knows how long those periods were. Allah thought of everything and He made them in the best way. Allah (God) wanted people to know about Him, to pray to Him, and to glorify Him. He wanted people to be good. He gave them guidance to be good through His religion. Allah's religion is Islam and through it Allah wants us to know more about Him, and to follow His religion. Allah has given us so very much. Aren't we lucky we are Muslims, learning about Allah, our Creator? Allah has attributes, of what He is.
