aruna47 copy pasted a list of questions asking me to answer in of the threads i replied. i have managed to answer some of his questions here with my limited time. ill answer more when i get more time. i have saved his question list in a word file without losing any of his questions.
1. සමහරු පොහොසත් වෙලා, සමහරු දුප්පත් වෙලා ඉපදෙන්නේ ඇයි.සමහරු අන්ධ ,ගොළු , බිහිරි වෙලා උපදින්නේ ඇයි.අල්ලාහ් මාර අසාදාරණයි නේ බන්. අන්ධ ,බිහිරි එකෙකුට උඹලගේ කුරාණේ තියෙන ඒවා වත් ඉගෙනගන්ඩ බැරි වෙනවනේ බන්. මන්ද බුධ්දිකයෙක් වුනත් එහෙමයි. ඌට judgment day එකේදී මොනවද කියන්ඩ තියෙන්නේ.අනේ පව්.
WHY are they born with those defects? Allah knows of His creations better, but some reasons that we can gather are:
- For others to appreciate the full senses that they have
- To practice the act of helping and empathy towards others
- To train patience, patience, and more patience
Allah (swt) does things like that for a very good reason and we as inferior as we are do NOT have the right to question his (swt) judgement and ways he (swt) has created us. our knowledge is much limited and we cannot think beyond the bounds of this world theerefore we cannot question Allah.
2.ඇයි උඹල ලෙඩක් හැදුනාම බෙහෙත් ගන්නේ. ලෙඩේ හැදුනේ අල්ලාහ්ගේ කැමැත්ත හින්දනේ. ඇයි අල්ලාහ් ගේ කැමැත්තට විරුද්ධව බෙහෙත් බීල එක සනීප කරගන්ඩ හදන්නේ.
Muslims see illness not as a punishment from Allah, but rather as a test and a purification of sins. Will you keep your faith strong despite your poor health? Will you see your illness as a cause of despair, or as an opportunity to turn to Allah for mercy and healing?
3. මචන් ම්නිස්සු ඉපදෙන්ඩ වසර මිලියන ගානකට කලින් Dynosirus ලා එහම ඉඳල තියෙනවනේ ඇයි බන් අල්ලාහ් උන්ව මවල තියෙන්නේ.මිනිස්සුත් නැතුව මොන මගුලකටද උන්. Trial design පාරක් දැම්ම කියල කියල නම් කියන්නද එපා.
The great difference between Allah and His creations is that Allah is Ever-Living, without beginning, without end, whereas all His creations are with a beginning and with an end. This means that the creations of Allah cannot but cease to exist.
Only Allah is free from disease, decay and death. Only He lives forever.
So, if dinosaurs or other beings created by Allah die and disappear from the earth, it is because their nature demands that, and it cannot be otherwise; and only the ignorant ones among humans would consider Allah a murderer for this. The One Who gives life can take it back too.
Allah is the Almighty Creator, the Sovereign Ruler and the unquestioned Owner of everything in the universe. And it is out of His will that He chooses to create things or beings; and it is out of His will that He decides to destroy some creatures and creates some other creatures.
We have no right to question Him; and have no way of knowing Allah's will, except for what He Himself has allowed us to know through His revelations, and through His prophets. But Allah has granted us powers of rationality, observation, understanding and analytical skills.
If we use these faculties to understand Allah’s creative power and figure out the rationale behind His choices in the light of His revelation, we may be able to get some knowledge about the nature of His creation.
Of Allah's creation, it is only humans who were invested with reason and freedom. Only humans have been appointed Allah's vicegerents — ambassadors — on earth. Making use of the freedom Allah has given, only humans can ask questions of the kind asked by your friend. In the Quran, Allah has clearly stated that everything on earth has been created for the benefit of us humans:
{He it is Who created for you all that is in the earth. Then turned He to the heaven, and fashioned it as seven heavens. And He is knower of all things.} (Al-Baqarah 2:29)
This verse clearly lays stress on the fact that the best of Allah Almighty's creation is humans; and this means that there is a great difference between humans and other creatures. And for this reason, there is no comparison between the fate of other creatures and humans.
The answer to the question, why Allah created dinosaurs, is the same as the answer to the question, why Allah created the tiniest microbes or bacteria. In Allah's scheme of creation, all things — whether big or small — have their place; though we may not be aware as to how and to what extent each being contributes to the whole.
This has been recently established by the new science of ecology. For instance, we now know that the destruction of forests in one part of the planet may adversely affect the climate of a far distant region.
Another point to note: If Allah had created the dinosaurs and allowed them to multiply in large numbers until eternity, where would the place for humans have been? If dinosaurs had been eating up humans, the question of your friend would then be: "Why doesn't Allah destroy the dinosaurs?"
Nothing happens without the knowledge of Allah Almighty, and nothing happens without a good reason; and all things and beings are interconnected in mysterious ways. The present system may be one out of a number of possible scenarios; and we may take some time to realize the rationale behind it; or we may never know.
