The Explanation from MafuradatThe Proof of Needlessness and Poverty in Islamic Traditions.

There is no doubt that the world we live in is a conglomeration of causes and effects and its “transient continuity” is one of the most evident rules.

There is no doubt that we and this globe on which we live was not always present but is the effect of some cause or causes.

The question is whether this series of cause and effect is never-ending and will continue always? If it is so then it will give rise to an ending chain or every cause will be the effect of another and this will never end. There will be no end wherein there could be no use for a cause.

This is something that the mind does not accept. How is it possible that we place one zero after another in an unending chain and they become a number? (In this premise zero stand for those things that do not exist own their own but are created due to some cause) How is it possible that all the needy and destitute come together in an unending chain and their assembly can create an entity that is above all needs?

We have to accept that this series of cause and effect will one day reach a point where there will be no effect only the cause and that it exists on its own. If we delve deeply into it we cay say that the final cause, existing on its own is the eternal and necessary being.

This is a very clear proof of God being eternal and ever living and the fine point is that every premise assumed reverts to this proof of cause and effect and no argument is complete without taking its help.

We will study a few verse under the light of this brief introduction.

1. Surah Tur Verse 35:

Were they created by nothing or were they themselves the creator?

2. Surah Tur Verse 36:

.Did they create the heavens and the earth? No! But they have no firm belief.

3. Surah Tur Verse 4:

 Have they a God other than Allah? Glorified be Allah from all they ascribe as partners. (To Him)
