THE CREATION

In today's presentation we'd be talking to you about "the process of creation".

 To begin with

Allah subhanahu wata'alaa tells us that He started the creation of life on Earth from clay (which is a combination of water and earth soil). Then he decreed a term for us to die as well as a term that he will resurrect us.

 Allah says (6;2)

*He it is Who has created you from clay, and then has decreed a stated term (for you to die). And there is with Him another determined term (for you to be resurrected), yet you doubt (in the Resurrection*

 Allah, praise to Him, tells us in the Holy Quran that, at the beginning, His Throne was upon water, as stated in Verse 11: 7

*And it is He who created the heavens and the Earth in six days, and His Throne had been (before that) upon water (Hood, 11: 7).*  

 Thus, the Holy Quran mentions that water preceded the creation of the heavens and the Earth.So, water preceded the formation of our solar system.

 Furthermore, the Quran mentions that, the heavens and the Earth at first were joined together as one entity before they were splintered and that every living thing was made of water

 Allah says in Surat Al-Anbiya Chapt 20 Verse 30

 *"Have not those who disbelieve seen (known) that the heavens and the Earth were of one connected entity, then We splintered (separated) them, and We made every living thing out of water? Will they not then believe"*.

 Also Allah tells us that the heavens were smoke at the beginning (as a result of the explosion which splintered them)

 Allah says (41:11) *"Then, He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the earth, "Come (into being), willingly or by compulsion." They said, "We have come willingly"*

 Then Allah says to us concerning the heavens and the earth. Allah Said

*"It is Allah who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them. [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allah is over all things competent and that Allah has encompassed all things in knowledge."*

    In addition, Allah says  (Quran Suratu Al-Zumar, 39: 5)

*He has created the heavens and the earth with the right (proportions). He makes night to succeed day (in a cycle), and He makes day to succeed night (in a cycle), and He ordained for the Sun and the Moon that each runs on for a specific time term*

 Suitable conditions of temperature, light, and darkness, were made for man by God's creation of the heavens and the earth

  

   However before the creation of man were the Angels and Jinn whom Allah created and later on made man to succeed the earth

 The mother of the believers ‘Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported in Sahih Muslim : *The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘The angels are created from light, just as the jinn are created from smokeless fire and mankind is created from what you have been told about"*

 Notwithstanding, He the almighty created every moving creature from water. Allah says (24:45)

*"Allah has created every moving (living) creature from water. Of them there are some that creep on their bellies, some that walk on two legs, and some that walk on four. Allah creates what He wills. Verily! Allah is Able to do all things"*

Also Allah said about the creation of plants in (35:27)

*"See you not that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and We produce therewith fruits of varying colours, and among the mountains are streaks white and red, of varying colours and (others) very black.*

 Alhamdulilaah after this wonderful creation by Allah, He made us to succeed the earth.

Allah said in (2:29)

*He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He Istawa (rose over) towards the heaven and made them seven heavens and He is the All-Knower of everything.*

 Then we'll surely come to pass

Allah said (23:15)

After that, surely, you will die.

 And this indeed shall not be the end, Allah will surely repeat the creation after destroying it

Allah says (29:20)

Say, [O Muhammad], "Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. Then Allah will produce the final creation. Indeed Allah, over all things, is competent."

 Finally Allah informs us the why of this☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻 creation

 He it is who created death and life to test you [as to] which of you is best in deed -  and He is the Exalted in Might, the Forgiving (67:2)

 May Allah purify our deeds and make it the best. Aaameen summa aaameen
