CONCLUSION
As we stated at the beginning, these examples of miracles from the world
of living beings are only a few links of an infinite chain of miracles.
Whichever creations of God we regard, we are always examining a great
miracle. But what's really important is that we notice and comprehend
these miracles, because regardless of how clear and great a miracle is,
only believers will see God's existence and infinite greatness therein.
Unbelievers will never acknowledge even a clear-cut miracle and will
deny it because of their prejudices, pride, and worldly ambitions. Also,
they make irrational and nonsensical comments, trying to bury miracles
or portray them as common and normal, or even irrelevant. In reality,
even just one of the miracles related in this book is enough to persuade
any conscientious person of normal intelligence. But since deniers are
devoid of logic and awareness, they cannot comprehend God's miracles all
around them. These verses of the Qur'an describe the deniers' attitude
towards miracles:
If they see a Sign they turn away, saying "There is no
end to this witchcraft!" They have denied the truth and followed their
whims and desires, but everything has its time. (Qur'an, 54:2-3)
As these verses show, deniers' disinterest of towards miracles is caused
by their egotism and desire to satisfy selfish ambitions. Acknowledging
miracles would mean that they would also have to accept the existence
of God and Judgment Day, which in turn would mean they must accept that
they must submit to His will, and will account to Him for their actions.
This is unacceptable to unbelievers, however, which is why they do not
believe. But whether or not they choose to believe the truth, everything
bides its time and meets its fate. Their denying miracles will not alter
the truth, nor what they will receive in the Hereafter for what they have
done.
In reality, for unbelievers of all eras, it is God's eternally valid
law that they cannot see the undisputable miracles in His creation. The
verses say:
They have sworn by God with their most earnest oaths
that if a Sign comes to them they will believe in it. Say: "The Signs
are in God's control alone." What will make you realize that even if a
Sign did come, they would still not believe? We will overturn their hearts
and sight, just as when they did not believe in it at first, and We will
abandon them to wander blindly in their excessive insolence. Even if We
sent down angels to them, and the dead spoke to them, and We gathered
together everything in front of them right before their eyes, they would
still not believe unless God willed. The truth is that most of them are
ignorant. (Qur'an, 6:109-111)
