*There is nothing without purpose in the creation of Allah*
The smallest particle of the universe testifies to this great truth that Allah, the Lord of Majesty, has not created anything in vain, useless, or futile. From a seemingly insignificant ant to the planets floating in the vastness of space, every creation is a masterpiece of divine wisdom, with its own special purpose and balance. In the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty has clearly shaken man, saying, *Did you think that We created you without purpose?* This question actually draws man's attention to his own greatness and the deep secrets hidden behind creation. When we reflect on the system of nature, we find that there is no such thing as waste here. What we consider as waste or useless is also a guarantor of the life of another creature. For example, trees absorb the carbon dioxide that is poison for us, and in return, they provide the oxygen that is the basis of our life. Even the dry leaves that fall in autumn become fertilizer to increase the fertility of the soil. Similarly, a tiny honey bee not only makes honey, but also maintains the world's food system through the process of *pollination*. If this tiny creature disappears, human survival will be threatened. All these examples are a logical argument that nothing is useless in Allah's industry, just need a seeing eye and a thought to give it the right direction.
When we consider the structure of Ashraf-ul-Makhluqat, that is, human, the mind is amazed. Every organ, cell, and system of the human body is a living proof of the craftsmanship of nature. Our eyes that distinguish between millions of colors, our heart that beats silently throughout life, and our brain that has the ability to solve the mysteries of the universe, all these are the most precious assets. Even the design of the tips of human fingers has been kept different from each other in billions of humans, which is proof that every individual is unique in the eyes of Allah and there is no one else like him. Despite this, we often find people in the society who, due to the severity of circumstances, financial hardship, or any physical or mental weakness, become disappointed and say, *We are not capable of anything or what does the world need us for?* Such people need to understand that your existence in this world is the biggest proof that there is a color in this great map of the universe that is incomplete without you. If Allah Almighty has created you, it means that you have that special essence that no one else has. No human being is useless, but sometimes he is not aware of his original place or the right field of action. To underestimate oneself is actually tantamount to pointing a finger at the creation of the great Creator who created you in the best structure.
If we take the example of an ordinary carpenter to understand that nothing is useless in this great factory of the universe, then the reality becomes clear. Imagine that a craftsman takes a shapeless piece of wood, saws it with a saw, carves it with an ax, and then makes designs on it with great diligence, until it takes the shape of a beautiful chair. Can any conscious person say that all this hard work of the craftsman, cutting the wood, smoothing it, and designing it was useless? Not at all, because as a result of this hard work, a specific form has come into existence, the requirement of which is *to sit and get comfort*. Now, if a person hangs this chair on the wall instead of sitting on it or decorates it only for display, then it will be an insult to its specific form and purpose of creation, because its design is shouting that it is made for sitting and not just for decoration. The same is the case with human beings, when a thing made by an ordinary craftsman is not useless and its specific form requires a specific action, then how can the creation of this Creator of the universe be useless who created man in Ahsan-e-Taqweem (the best structure)?* Just as a small screw of a watch is indispensable to run the whole watch, in the same way, for the balance of human society, every individual, no matter how ordinary he may seem, has a special importance in his place.
This theory should also be the basis for the training of our children. Every child is born with a unique IQ level and different mental tendencies. The biggest responsibility for parents is to recognize this natural tendency of their child. We often make the mistake of considering the standard of intelligence only as school grades or understanding math questions, although there are many types of intelligence. Some children are logical, some are magicians of words, some have more emotional depth, and some have artistic and creative abilities. If we judge the ability of a fish by its ability to climb a tree, then that fish will consider itself useless throughout its life. Parents should *find the hidden talent within their children* instead of comparing them with others and give them the right direction. When a child is assured that he is a special masterpiece of Allah and that his abilities are for some great purpose, then the disappointment within him disappears and he enters the field of life with self-confidence. Remember that every moment and every ability of your life is part of a great plan, so recognize your worth and try to use your abilities in a positive direction so that you can play your best role in the balance of this universe.
