WCP: The Nature and Power of Creation

"If Allah had stopped the creation short of man, then it wouldn't make sense. Just like if he would have stopped the creation of our bodies short of a head, and just left a neck up there, alive, but no head. That's how I would see the universe if G'd had stopped short of us. Had he left the universe just like that, it would be like a corpse with no head on it.  But when man is created with free will, and rational ability to go back to his job and understand the whole scheme, then it all makes perfect sense. That is why we believe that Allah created the universe.” Imam Mohammed (ra)
