The way that Allah produces millions of very different and diverse natural causes within His flawless creative artistry is a great miracle. With His infinite mind, Allah could create everything without natural causes if He so chose, and would certainly do this in the most perfect manner. However, all the natural causes produced and shown to us by our Almighty Lord allow us to see the perfection in the details of His artistry, and His infinite mind and compassion for us in all those details. One element of the wisdom in Allah’s creation in the way He depicts everything as dependent on natural causes is the fact that human beings are entities constantly exposed to testing. Human beings are also tested through the natural causes Allah creates and through the moral values they display in the face of the events created. By displaying the natural causes behind the events He creates with His omniscience, Allah shows us an amazing artistry requiring the deepest of reflection. By producing events in a chain of natural causes, Allah creates miracles of a kind that the human mind can accept in the environment of the test. If Allah were to do away with natural causes, then the environment of the test might also disappear, but by creating natural causes of a kind acceptable to the human mind in this perfect environment of testing, people are tested in terms of faith and whether or not they abide by the moral values of the Qur’an.
It is Allah Who uses a car, ship or airplane, the original of which exists on the outside, to change the image forming in our brains. Allah brings exceptionally perfect images together, combines several separate events in a perfect manner and manifests His causal artistry in the finest manner.
The way that Allah produces natural causes for every event, every person and every condition and situation in a chain whose laws are accessible to the human mind is a great miracle…
Almighty Allah, Who is powerful enough to create all things when He so chooses, reveals the might in His creation in these verses:
“Does He Who created the heavens and earth not have the power to create the same again? Yes indeed! He is the Creator, the All-Knowing.” (Surah Ya Sin, 81)
“His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, ‘Be!’ and it is.” (Surah Ya Sin, 82)
