“There is a fundamental difference between the Jewish idea of creation and that of Islam. The creation according to Islam is not a unique act in a given time but a perpetual and constant event; and God supports and sustains all existence at every moment by His will and His thought. Outside His will, outside His thought, all is nothing, even the things which seem to us absolutely self-evident such as space and time. Allah alone wishes: the Universe exists; and all manifestations are as a witness of the Divine will.” IdeasSelfMomentsSeemsUniverseGivenWishDifferencesSpaceExistenceSupportEventsCreationDivineUniqueFundamentalsConstantIslamWitnessManifestationPerpetualEvidentTime And SpaceDivine Will Author:Aga Khan III

“Man stands alone in the universe, a unique product of a long, unconscious, impersonal, material process with unique understanding and potentialities. These he owes to no one but himself, and it is to himself that he is responsible. He is not the creature of uncontrollable and undeterminable forces, but is his own master. He can and must decide and manage his own destiny.” MenLongUniverseForceProcessUnderstandingDestinyAtheismMaterialsMastersProductsCreaturesUniqueResponsiblePositive AtheismManageUnconsciousStand AloneUncontrollable Book:Life of the past: an introduction to paleontology Source: Life of the past: an introduction to paleontology

“All creations are one with the universe. Look at the world around you. Can you effectively separate yourself from everything else? After seriously pondering this, most of us rapidly conclude that we cannot. To even make the statement that I exist as a unique entity requires comparison with something else. (If you exist as a distinct being, your distinctiveness is in comparison to other creations. No other creations, no individual you.)” IfsWorldLooksUniverseIndividualMeditationCreationUniqueStatementsComparisonEntityPondering Author:H. E Davey

“The formation of the life of a person in the womb is the work of God, and it is not merely a mechanical process but a work on the analogy of weaving or knitting: "Thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb" (psalm 139:13). The life of the unborn is the knitting of God, and what He is knitting is a human being in His own image, unlike any other creature in the universe...
