Mysteries of this World

What are the proofs that this world is the second creation and that there was a first creation before this?

Allah Ta’ala is the “Creator of all things” – but would never create evil, so who did? How did evil come into existence? Amirul Mumineen Maulana Ali SA has said that there are three root causes of all evil. What are they?

Allah Ta’ala says in the Quran Majeed “the creation of the skies and the Earth is greater than the creation of humans. But most humans do not understand.”Humans have travelled to space. They have already landed spacecraft on Mars. One of the questions they seek to answer is this: is there intelligent life elsewhere in the universe that is similar to humans? Is Earth the center of the universe?

Many people deny the existence of ghosts (“Jinn” or “Bhut”). They deny the existence of spirits because they cannot be seen by the physical eye. But the Quran speaks of Jinn in many ayats – which have many deeper meanings. In fact, there is an entire Sura named after them: ‘Surat al-Jinn’. So what are ghosts and why have they been created?
