"Change the way you look at life": Why was the universe created according to Deism?
Our third lesson about deism will again be in the form of a conversation with a deist. We turn to him:
- Why did the creator you believe in - the One we call God - create this world? That is, why were birds, butterflies, flowers, trees and all other creatures decorated with turf patterns created?
Zinhor Don't say "Without a purpose, just". After all, the creator of this world is the owner of wisdom. Look carefully, everything in the world has a certain function and characteristics. There is no such thing as useless. This also proves that our creator is the owner of wisdom. So, how dare you say, "There is no idea in the creation of this universe, it is simply created"?
If you are ignorant of the idea of creation, then let us teach you. The idea is as follows: every perfect and beautiful person wants to show their perfection and beauty. For this secret reason, God created this universe to reveal its perfection and beauty. It is from this secret that beings are created in various colors, shapes and forms, and are surrounded by wisdom. Our Creator wanted to reveal Himself and sent prophets and books. Otherwise, we wouldn't know him. For example, we called the creator "Allah". Prophets taught us that God is "Allah". Think about it, if there were no prophets, we wouldn't even know the name of our creator.
- How do you accept that the one who created this world to reveal himself and therefore decorated every creature with various designs did not even reveal his name?
- Why doesn't the one who created so many creatures to reveal himself take the shortest way to be known and send prophets and books?
If God only wanted us to be aware of his existence, he would not have decorated the universe and beings so much. After all, even looking at a single flower, we know that there is a creator. But God was not satisfied with one flower, he made the earth a bed and spring a bouquet on that bed. So, he wanted to be known by his name and attributes, not just to reveal his existence. This is accomplished by the sending of prophets, that is, God reveals Himself through special messengers. If there were no Messengers, we would not have known Him, and we would have known Him wrongly. For example, if I ask you this question: "Does your trusted creator sleep?" Does he eat or drink? Does the couple have children?' Don't you need prophets who brought revelations and books in which Allah revealed Himself to be able to say "no" to these and similar requests? How do you answer these questions with your dim mind?
The bottom line is that Allah created this world so that we can know Him. He wanted us to think about the names and qualities that he had adorned the creatures by decorating them in various ways. For this to happen, prophets must be sent and books sent down. Because even if a person finds a creator with his mind, he cannot discover his name and attributes correctly. Even often makes mistakes. Those who worship fire, cows, stars and other various objects are examples of our words. If a prophet does not come, people will go astray and think that the cow is a god. Naturally, the One who created this world does not allow us to make such a mistake, and He sends prophets who will make Himself known to us in a worthy way. As much as it is madness not to recognize the sun at noon, it is even more to deny this fact.
