When we see the human kind as civilized then why should we not consider civilization as its root?…
Should God have shown the first example a pretentious show, virtuous or a sample of evil and contention, that God created him evil, but then he slowly became civilized? Such thought is audacity and an insult to the dignity of the Almighty God.
It is the same example as described in Mathnawi about a deaf person who visited a sick person to inquire about his health. He thought that first, he will ask about this person’s health and when the patient will reply, ‘I am OK’, he shall say, ‘All praise to Allah.’ Then he will ask him, ‘What do you eat?’ Upon this he will say, ‘I eat lentil’, and I shall reply by saying, ‘Very good.’ Then he shall inquire, ‘Who is your doctor?’ and he will reply, ‘Such and such is my doctor’, to which I will then say, ‘He is a good doctor and takes care of his patients.’
When he went to inquire about the patient [the conversation went like this]:
Deaf: ‘How are you?’
Patient: ‘I am dying.’
Deaf: ‘Alhamdulillah, All praise to Allah.’
Deaf: ‘What food you are taking?’
Patient: ‘Blood of my liver.’
Deaf: ‘It is good food.’
Deaf: ‘Who is your doctor?’
Patient: ‘Angel of death.’
Deaf: ‘He is a good doctor and has cure for his patients.’
These people [who have misgivings about the creation of God] are in a similar situation.
