Islamic Ideology
Harmony in creation
By Haider Zaman

The first thing that one can note while pondering over the setting and functioning of countless celestial bodies could be the exceptional degree of harmony in their existence. This is clearly indicated by Quran when it says “He raised the heavens high and set the balance” (55:7). The verse, among other things, implies that after their creation, all the stars, planets and other heavenly bodies were placed in proper order with a view to maintaining necessary equilibrium and balance. Explaining it further Quran says “the sun must not catch up the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. Each one is travelling in an orbit with its own motion.” (36:40).

If human beings follow the same lesson in their private lives, in inter-personal relations, in national affairs and in international dealings there is no reason as to why they should not overcome most of the problems of this age and live in peace and harmony. Take the example of human body. Slight increase in the rate of blood circulation can disturb the balance and cause damage to such vital parts of the body as heart and kidney. Only a balanced diet, among other things, can ensure the fitness of human body.
