  • Why Would God Choose To Distil Himself Into The Bounded?

    Posted by Javed on December 13, 2025 at 11:12 am

    When I look at the human body- the eyes, ears, brain, and the intricate structures that make our senses and movements possible – I am completely amazed at the detail and precision. And yet I cannot stop wondering: God is infinite, transcendent, and beyond all dimensions, so why would He choose to create a human who is limited, flawed, and confined to just three dimensions, whose body and faculties we can see, measure, and even point out? How can something so bounded and imperfect still be the work of the infinite God?

    God has told us why He chose to create humans: See

    51: 56

    وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ

    I have created the jinn and men only for My worship [and this is what is required of them as well]

    67: 2

    الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ

    [He] Who created death and life to test you as to which of you does better deeds. And He is also Mighty and Forgiving

      My question is somewhat philosophical, I will try to explain it further.

      for example it is said that, “A carpenter is known by his chips.” So that means kay nuqoosh se ham banane wale kay bare mai jaan sakte hain, roughly translated.

      So Then as Human is creation of God thus, we can safely infer things about God from his creation i.e Man.

      For Example, A video game developer of something like Gta 5 will be praised a lot more than developer of a game like tetris as the former requires a lot of expertise and is a technical marvel and a masterpiece of video game creation due to it’s cutting edge graphics and Open World gameplay.

      So God being the creator of his universe, with all of his characteristics like Omnipotence and Impeccable, Meticulous and Infinite ability to design and create, Why is his creation lacking in certain aspects like it being weak and limited in certain respects like being 3 dimensional and also being prone to diseases etc

      All in all, Human being seems lackluster to be a creation of such a Perfect God

      I hope you get my question.

    An imperfect world was required for a perfect desing of reward and punishment that is the hereafter. When we see the complete design, we get a better understanding of God.
