    Is the Islamic philosophy of imperfection that man is imperfect as himself, for example, he suffers from diseases, hard work to keep himself healthy throughout his life, earthquakes, death, accidents, etc. While the universe itself is perfect in its own right, for example, today we are inventing things through science and technology, conveniences and other facilities. Does this prove that this universe could have been perfect if God willed it but death is the thing that destroys all things and diseases too. Simply if we remove all these diseases and especially death then this life could have been perfect. Correct me if am wrong.

    Nothing is perfect in the world or universe. Random accidents occur all across the universe. If biological death is eliminated even then accidental deaths cannot be avoided. So no escape from death. This world is never intended to be perfect otherwise there remains no reason for a Hereafter.

      What I am saying is that the things that happen to human beings make this universe imperfect. Because the laws of the universe made for human beings are perfect in themselves. For example, I have said many times before that by one of our order that we issue here, it reach the other corner of the world. There is proof that laws are perfect. But if the same issue is brought to humanity, then still human is very imperfect and there is no hesitation in accepting this.

    Science tells us that no law is perfect at some levels. Newton’s laws work at the macro level. Further, there is a difference between law and its applications. Earthquakes are random but they occur under the laws. So, even if laws are perfect the events are random, and cannot be predicted perfectly.

      Mobile phones work by sending and receiving low power radio signals, much like a 2 way radio system. The signals are sent to and received from antennas that are attached to radio transmitters and receivers, commonly referred to as mobile phone base stations. For example, Mobile phones work by sending and receiving low power radio signals, much like a 2 way radio system. The signals are sent and received from antennas which are attached to radio transmitters and receivers, commonly referred to as mobile phone base stations. We almost assured that these theoretical laws will work according to their routine. But referring to the Human he spreads corruption, intolerance, disputes, bloodshed and dishonesty etc. I think that everything in this world is beautiful, except man. I didn’t mean that the form of human being is not beautiful. Here I will say again that if the random laws such as Earthquakes occur they too devastate humans. I don’t care if Earthquakes came on the moon as well. By distinguishing all these things, I was saying that at least these beautiful laws that are used in everyday life are perfect compared to the imperfect human being. Kindly share ur thoughts on it.

      I was referring to the first part of your answer. That some laws are not perfect in some parts. I know that Random laws occurs at unknown times but referring to the daily based used laws. I mean theoretical laws. I know that to some extent these laws are also unreliable. But still as compare to imperfections of humans still we can say that these laws are perfect. I have gave mobile phone use example as well.

    There are many ways to describe phenomena. Human beings are imperfect and it is a fact
