It is said that God Almighty wanted
to create the best creation. He worked for
millions of years, designing and evolving
the image. He went on looking at the image,
improving it and finally decided to give it life.
As soon as the image of the man got life, two
things happened. First, he opened his eyes and
smiled. God was very happy. The second, he
opened his mouth and said, “Almighty, thank
you.” God was delighted to see His creation
and felt that he did the two right things.
Suddenly, God found that something was
missing in the man. He then created fire in
a flash of a second, out of which came the
Shaitan, who said, “God, you took millions
of years to create the man, but you created
me out of fire in a flash of a second. So I am
the best.” The Almighty who had created the
universe with mighty orbiting galaxies with
the outburst of Shaitan. He had created the
best of his creation, the man on one side, and
on the other side, the Shaitan. He thought of
it and looked at both with the benevolence and
integrated the man and Shaitan and gave the
following message:
“I have created the human being with brain
and thinking faculty. I command all My
creations to use your faculty with reasoning to
reach My Image.”
As Rumi, the Turkish Sufi poet, wrote:
Angel is free because of his knowledge,
The beast because of his ignorance,
Between the two remains the son of man to stuggle.
