Verses 8-11Verse 7

      Three fundamental points are discussed here:ِ

       The creation which was done in six periods of time, long or short, and particularly its beginning in which God's throne of authority and power was laid upon the water, which is the building block of life.

      The Arabic word, ``ARSH'' means roof, throne, elevated seat of a king which is the symbol of his power, and also it means the whole universe, and all the being things.

      The Arabic word, MÄA means water, and also it refers to any kind of liquid, and melted material.

      Elsewhere in the Qurän, (S 21:30) it is also cited that the heavens and the earth were one single unit of creation all joined together, then Allah separated them and clove them asunder, and made out of water all the living things therein. All these points allude to the fact that life has been evolved from the water.

       The second point will give us some information about the aim and object of creation, the eventual fruit of which is, ``Man'' the creature who can think and decide and work with Free-Will.

      The whole creation, be it an atom or a galaxy, is not without an

aim or purpose. Nothing is created for nothing, and there is an object for the creation of every creature, on the part of the creator. In general, we may say the creation is a medium through which spiritual life is to develop and make out man's life which is a period of probation and trial:ِ

      ``That He may try you to make known which one of you has a better conduct.''

       The third point mentioned in the verse is, the promised Resurrection which is firmly connected with the origination. This is because the final goal of creation is evolution, to reach an end in which an everlasting developed spiritual and physical super life, is attained in a most developed world:ِ

      ``But if you tell the unbelievers that, you will be raised up after death, they will say; this is nothing but sorcery.''

      Sorcery and sorcerer's talk is baseless, or based upon falsehood and pretence. Therefore those who believe not in the life to come, will think that such a saying is baseless like the sorcerer's word, and this of course will prove their absolute ignorance of the whole matter.
