Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, is the Sole Possessor of the
secret of life. There is no Creator other than Him. He is also the Only
Maintainer of the factors ensuring the continuity of life represented in
air, water and food.
Allah, Whose Majesty reigns supreme, is the Creator of the atmosphere. Certainly, the air that we all breathe is not
created by man but by Allah, all praise and glory be to Him; also the
water that we all drink is the Creation of Allah, all praise and glory be
to Him.
The factors of the continuity of life are all in the Hands of Allah, all
praise and glory be to Him.
In this regard Allah says (what means):
“Then tell Me (about) the human semen that you emit. Is it you
who create it (i.e. make this semen into a perfect human being), or
are We the Creator?”
(Al-Wâqi‘ah, 56: 58- 59)
The semen is one of the causes of creation. Allah, all praise and glory
be to Him, is the One Who created and originated it, maintaining life
by it from the lifetime of Adam (peace be upon him) till the Day of
Resurrection.
Allah, Whose Majesty reigns supreme, says (what
means):
“Tell Me! The water that you drink. Is it you who cause it from
the rain clouds to come down, or are We the Causer of it to come
down?”
(Al-Wâqi‘ah, 56: 68-69)
We then move to the ending of life, also decreed by Allah. For no one
is capable of granting immortality to himself or to others.
Allah, all
praise and glory be to Him, says to His Messenger (may Allah bless
him and grant him peace) (in His Noble Book what means): “And We
granted not to any human being immortality before you (O Muhammad), then if you die, would they live forever?”
(Al Anbiyâ’, 21: 34)
Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, says
(what means):
“How can you disbelieve in Allah? Seeing that you
were dead and He gave you life. Then He will give you death, then
again will bring you to life (on the Day of Resurrection) and then
unto Him you will return.”
(Al-Baqarah, 2: 28)
O Allah, whom amongst us You keep alive, then let such a life be upon Islam, and whom amongst us You take unto Yourself, then let such a death be upon faith.
Aameen
