"The creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind" (Quran 40:57).. In Aims and Significations

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article offers a profound philosophical and scientific exegesis of the Quranic verse "The creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of mankind" (40:57). It masterfully distinguishes between God's instantaneous will for creation ("Be!") and the intricate process of its execution ("and it is"), which is delegated to the "Prime Matter" (e.g., atoms, particles). The piece argues that the vast cosmic timescales (like the "six days" of creation) are not a sign of divine limitation but a deliberate design, showcasing the majesty of creation through the divinely programmed laws of physics and time, inviting deep intellectual reflection.
