Surah 1-2 - YasSarNal QuR'aN

Al-Baqarah (The Cow) | CAUSING LIFE AND DEATHown eyes the birds he killed and placed portions of their bodies far apart, returned tolife and moving in full vigour.How could all this take place? It is the one mystery that continues to elude humanperception. Even if one was to undergo Abraham’s experience and witness the actualact of creation, one would not comprehend its reality or how it is accomplished. It isthe prerogative of God Almighty, of whose perfect and absolute knowledge man canacquire nothing, except by His will. It is God’s will that this sphere should remainbeyond the bounds of human knowledge, possibly because it is beyond man’scomprehension and is not required for the fulfilment of man’s mission on earth.Until God allows the curtain to be raised on this issue, man’s aspiration to graspthe coveted secret of life shall remain unfulfilled. If, however, he were to persist inhis defiance of God’s authority and continue to trespass in regions that are theexclusive domain of the Divine, his efforts would for ever be in vain and yieldnothing.362
