Created & Lost

Created & Lost

Point to ponder. God is the creator but does he have control over his creation. If you look at the things logically you will understand that anything that is created is for a purpose. Its end result is very much in the view of the creator when he decides to create something. Similar to that concept God also has the end result predetermined.
But as any object there is a chance of malfunction and misuse. If that happens the object is either condemned or repaired. By repairing the object it is again put to use for the purpose it was meant to be. If it is of no use then it is condemned. Also there is fixed life for the object & never can it go on & on for ever. As the object is given a guide line for best performance similarly mankind is given a guideline for best performance.
But the irony is the object after being created is at the mercy of the user and the creator has no control over it, mankind also I believe is completely out of control of its creator.
Let me give a simple example to make my point clear.
The creator of a chair is a carpenter & the creator is always outside the object. So is God as he has created the universe & everything within. He as per logic should be surely outside the universe. Our mind is limited to comprehend God. I believe in supreme power. Common sense says there is something more powerful than us. But all the rest doesn’t make sense. For example in the case of the object, chair, the carpenter has no control over it as soon as it goes out from his hand. Who use it, damage it or whatever is not under his control and that is the same logic with human creation. God’s job is done with the creation and whatever happens after that is all independent of his creation. It is action, reaction & consequences. It leads from one stage to another & all are consequences of deviation from the guide line.
Like the chair if it is used for the purpose it is created, it serves the purpose, but if used other than for the purpose, then its action has different connotation & the creator can only stand by and watch.
The reality is as the deviation by mankind has already occurred from the guideline he set for us to follow what we now see is consequences of the deviation. The creator is just watching. This I think will explain the reason why God is not in Muslim Ummahs side & we find destruction all around us.We time and again ask ourselves why is God not helping us? He simply cannot because we already have deviated. We have to bear the consequences and that is the rule of law.
What I mean is we have taken a different course.Can we come back into the right course is the point to ponder........
