Of course, as Muslims, we believe nothing is without purpose.
But what is the purpose of creating soooo many lifeless, uninhabited planets? We know that rocks are alive since they talked to Rasulullah so are atoms and planets are also alive in a way we don’t know and do they communicate with Allah?
Why did God create animals? They aren’t as smart as us and are not as conscious, some of the animals do very disgusting things. If it’s for them to worship God then how do animals pray to God, is it simply through going about their daily lives?
What about plants or insects?
What about parasites , viruses or the filarial nematode illness Onchocercosis, which is second most common infective cause of blindness in the world?
What about the notorious “vestigial organs” such as the bottom of the spine, male breasts or the forscin (excuse my language) which we have to cut after God has created it? Do these have a purpose or did they once have a purpose and now they are redundant?
Jazakumullahu Khayran
