It is said that God Almighty wanted

to create the best creation. He worked for

millions of years, designing and evolving

the image. He went on looking at the image,

improving it and finally decided to give it life.

As soon as the image of the man got life, two

things happened. First, he opened his eyes and

smiled. God was very happy. The second, he

opened his mouth and said, “Almighty, thank

you.” God was delighted to see His creation

and felt that he did the two right things.

Suddenly, God found that something was

missing in the man. He then created fire in

a flash of a second, out of which came the

Shaitan, who said, “God, you took millions

of years to create the man, but you created

me out of fire in a flash of a second. So I am

the best.” The Almighty who had created the

universe with mighty orbiting galaxies with

the outburst of Shaitan. He had created the

best of his creation, the man on one side, and

on the other side, the Shaitan. He thought of

it and looked at both with the benevolence and

integrated the man and Shaitan and gave the

following message:

“I have created the human being with brain

and thinking faculty. I command all My

creations to use your faculty with reasoning to

reach My Image.”

As Rumi, the Turkish Sufi poet, wrote:

Angel is free because of his knowledge,

The beast because of his ignorance,

Between the two remains the son of man to stuggle.
