I think this article is very beneficial. So I would like to share the pleasure with them who would find the pleasure behind this article. The Reason for Variation In the World of Creation. Certainly you will have heard of the spacecraft "Apollo," a perfect example of the marvelous progress man has made in science and technology. It took man above the clouds, beyond the atmosphere, and allowed him to set his feet on the surface of the moon, thus opening the door to a world hitherto unknown to him. Looking at the design of this space-craft, we see a huge mass of nuts and bolts, large and small, and various delicate and complex instruments; the command module, the main craft, the lunar landing module, landing and take-off equipment, fuel tanks, telecommunication and navigational apparatus, power sources, safety devices and sufficient stores of food, water and other necessities. Each of these parts has its own role. Obviously, if it were not for these various parts, Apollo would never have come into existence, and it would not have been able to overcome the difficulties facing man on his way to the moon. This example shows us that in a whole whose parts are connected with each other and in harmony, variety cannot be avoided. Now let us look at the world of existence, to discover that diversity here is neither pointless nor without reason. Without doubt, the beauty and complexity of this world is due to the variety of its parts, and we cannot call this diversity meaningless or unjust. In the last lesson we showed that injustice exists where all have the same right to use something equally, but distinction is made between some and others. However, the parts of the world had no existence before they were created, and so they had no pre-existent rights, which would enable us to say that the existence of distinctions between them constitutes an injustice. In fact, the world of creation owes its existence to variety, and if there had not been any variety there would not have been any universe, there would have been just one big uniformity. It was this variety that brought into existence atoms, solar systems, galaxies, trees, plants and animals. Turning now towards verity in human life, we see that diversity in man is not an exception to this general principle 0 variety. If we look at diversity in human ability, intelligence and memory and ask why they are not the same in all humans, we must ask before this why plants and minerals do not have these superior faculties. Then we can see that neither of these questions can be properly discussed, because such questions can only arise when rights are being trampled on. In this case, neither of these two conditions existed prior to creation that a distinction between them should be seen as an injustice. Another point to notice is that God demands from everyone according to his ability and responsibility, and no one is asked to do more than his bodily and mental powers enable him. This is justice itself. For example, if a headmaster gives the examination of the most advanced class to one of the lower classes this is an injustice. However, if he gives the easy questions to the lower class and the difficult questions to the advanced class, then no one can complain that there had been an injustice. Instead, he would be regarded as just by any meaning of the word. Therefore, if all existent things are regarded from the same point of view, and their responsibilities were all the same, to make a distinction as regards their creation would be an injustice. But we know that responsibilities are proportional to the individual's capabilities, and thus there is no injustice. For example, if a small screw in a machine has to do the same work as the largest cog, there would be injustice; but if each part must work according to its design and possibilities, then there is no injustice. Moreover, we believe that God is Wise and that He does nothing for no reason or for no good purpose, and we believe that the world has a special design so that no speck can come into existence without reckoning or design, as we explained in detail previously when we showed how nothing is without its place and its use. If, in some cases, something appears useless or without a function, it is in fact because of the limited nature of our minds. Not knowing something does not mean it does not exist. We can conclude from this that all the variations in things have some good purpose, and that they are all perfectly useful and necessary in the system of the universe, although we may not be able to understand this by our restricted thinking. It may be objected that all individuals may have the same characteristics, talents and abilities, but that because of the needs of society they are forced to divide their lab our among themselves. The answer to this is that if this were the case, those who seek an easy life would choose the easier occupations, and the difficult and laborious one to do them; for no one would be ready to do them, since they all think the same way. The spirit of man must pass through various states in order to obtain moral perfection. Gradually, calmly and without haste, through facing difficulties and comforts, tasting the bitter and the sweet, his spirit becomes more perfect. It is these ups and downs that teach man to acquire patience; sometimes he is the king of the castle, and sometimes he is thrown into the dungeons. Happy is the one who uses whatever situation he finds himself in to perfect his soul. If he is well-off, he can follow the way of perfection by helping the poor and the orphans, thus acquiring a great, humanitarian spirit, although he could be using his riches for easy living and luxury without putting them to any spiritual use similarly, if he is poor, instead of encroaching upon other people's property and right, he can be contented with his lot, be patient and cultivate self-respect, thus rolling away the stone of life's difficulties with the hand of activity and patience. Thus all the vicissitudes of life are ways to perfection, and we must follow this way, whether the passage is narrow or wide. Our meaning is not that we should will upon ourselves difficulties and sufferings. It is clear that this would be a big fault because we would not be using the natural abilities that God had bestowed upon us. What we mean is that, if we try our best, hutting do not reach our objective, or fall from prosperity to hardship, we should not consider ourselves to be unfortunate. Rather, we should regard the vicissitudes, ease and difficulty, as new fields for the building of our souls and the use of our minds in resistance and struggle against these difficulties. In this way we can derive the greatest benefits for our spiritual strength. One who acts? Thus does not find in life anything against the principles of justice and purpose, and everywhere he turns he finds victory and prosperity. In this respect, the Qur'an says: و رفع بعضكم فوق بعض درجات ليبلوكم في ما اتاكم (سوره انعام آيه 165) And He has raised some of you in rank above others, that Hemay tries you in what he has given you. (VL 165) The meaning of "that he may try you" here is that we should use to our benefit the present moment, and so, whatever situation happens to man, it is for his spiritual development, and this is the Grace and Justice of God. This is the philosophy of differences and vicissitudes, which can never be in contradiction to Justice. II we fail to understand some of the world's events we should not corcider them to be unjust and wrong, because the system of creation is built firmly by the powerful hand of the One with whom there can be no injustice, and all that He demands from us is through His Love. This is a fact that we have clearly observed many times in the things, which have happened to us and to others. Sometimes we consider something to be bad, but after a while we realize that not only was it without harm, but that it was also positively beneficial. The Qur'an says: و عسي ان تركهوا شيئآ و هو خير لكم ان تحبوا شيئآ و هو شر لكم و الله يعلم و انتم لاتلمون (سوره بقره آيه 216) Yet it may happen that you will hate a thing which is better for you; and it may happen that you will love a thing which is worse for you; Allah knows, and you know not. (II, 216) (code/131) Ref : Roots of Religion , Written By  ar Rahe haq Institue Writing Board Qom (Iran) |
