Is the World Existence Void of Wisdom

By: Ayatullah Shaheed Sayyid Abdul Husain Dastghaib
Not even a single particle in the world of existence is created without any wise aim. Can then the entire universe be aimless at all? In the human body, even a nail and a hair are without its utility. Can then the whole human body have been created without any aim and intention? Never. All modern day scientists are unanimous in their opinion that they have not been able to comprehend all the wisdoms and strategies behind all the things in this world. Only God knows how many new and astonishing things will come to light in future. About half a century ago, people in Europe were of the opinion that in our body at the end of intestines there is an extension called appendicitis; that it is of no use. So, many healthy persons got it removed. But soon thereafter they were to realize that they were wrong. So, they announced that healthy persons should not remove it because now they had come to understand that the said extension was a sign of alarm. When much impurities pile up in intestines, this extension gives pain thus cautioning them before the impurities could havoc. So, the patient becomes alerted and resorts to remedy. It is also possible that it may have others benefits too which have not yet come to our notice despite research and about which we may know in the days and years to come.

Not A Single Tooth Is Without Wisdom
In human mouth not a single tooth is void of usefulness. The grinding gum's job cannot be done by the pointed teeth. Not a single bone out of the 248 in human body is useless, that is, even one of them is missing, it renders the whole body defective. Similar is the case with veins, nerves and fats etc. Can then the entire body be ever void of utility and wisdom behind it?
After recognizing the creator of the universe as most wise and after realizing that even the tieniest atom is not useless here, it is now our duty to try to understand the wisdom and aim behind the great creation. We see how many benefits do we derive from various kinds of innumerable stones, vegetables and animals.
Abro Baado…Baree meaning: The clouds, wind, moon and sun all are busy in their duties so that, O Man! You may get and eat a bread. All these are moving and working round the cloud for you. Is it, then, not very unjust that you may not obey the commands of your Lord!

Creation Would Have Been Aimless Had There Been Only Happiness
Is the aim of the creation of man only this worldly and material life? Is there nothing after death? Are we do be totally and suddenly annihilated? If it is taken for granted that the only aim of human life in this universe is eating, drinking, resting and pleasure-hunting to gratify passion lust and greed and desires and had it been so that man would not ever test what is pain and trouble and difficulty and grief and sorrow throughout his life then, in that case, also the creation would have been aimless. The reason for this conclusion is that even though the said life is full of pleasure and happiness it is yet unreliable and untrustworthy because, after all, it is passing and it is bound to end one day. So it is unthinkable that such a wide and huge universe should be for anything which is to perish while human life is, from it's beginning to end, full of different kinds of difficulties and troubles and pains and sorrows.
As the poet Aasoodeh has said: Yak Tane…Bood meaning: I have seen in this world only one aasoodeh (happy) person. But then, it was only his penname that was Aasoodeh).
Another poet says: - Dile Begam…Baashad meaning: You will not find any man in this world who has no worries. If he has no worry then he is not the son of Adam).

Every Gulp After Thousands Of Stings
The fact is that, if man is to perish after his death and if his life is limited only to this world of matter which is made up of various kinds of sorrows, physical and spiritual and mental troubles, sufferings, mischiefs, fornications, usurpations, illness of children, death of progeny, separation from friends then this life is totally senseless and void of wisdom. This is against the divine attribute like the Just, the Kind, the Most Merciful, the Most Wise etc. In that case the creation of human world beings in the world would be like an example in which, suppose, a generous man invites guests in a house which is full of all kinds of harmful animals like tigers, leopards, wolves snakes, scorpions and wasps. Then when that guest arrives therein he may be served with eatables in that very horrible house and then any morsel taken by him is accompanied by the stings of several troubles some and poisonous insects. Not only this, there also may be some attackers with swords in their hands ready to attack that guest even before the completes his feast (and thereafter nothing at all)! Just tell, is there any use of such feat? Is it not a futile endeavour?

For The Sake Of A Joy Which Will Be Without Sorrow Or Pain
What can be surmised from the above discussion is that, for man, another life or world will surely arrive in which all of his happiness and joys will be available. It is absolutely essential that he (a good man or woman) must get a joy and relief and comfort which has no pain with it and also an everlasting happiness which must not be followed by any trouble and grief or sorrow. The deserving persons must get comforts which should never end.
Khurram Aan Rooz…Bi Ravam meaning: Very happy will be the day when I will walk away from the passing world for finding out peace to soul and to meet the beloved.
So it has been established from viewpoint of logic and reason and it is now realized that God Almighty has created man for eternal and everlasting happiness. He has detained man for a little temporary period so that he may prepare to be eligible for the sure and permanent life which is full of joys and bounties. God has given him two wings of knowledge and action with which he may fly high to gain extreme heights in the eternal realm.
