Well the announcement caught them by surprise, they were not expecting it at all, but yeah it indeed arose their curiosity about it, what its going to be. It was actually an announcement made by the holy Lord early in the day that today he is planning to make something special, rather something very special. He is the lord of creations, He is the creator and He doest create all the time, but the thing that caught every one by surprise was the 2nd part of the announcement where all the creations were asked to assemble in the grand arena to take part in the process of creation. No one, not a single creation was ever allowed to be creator, it was only God who always did the work of creation.
Well as the day passed, the level of curiosity kept going up for every creation, slowly and gradually the crowd started assembling in the arena, the angles were the first ones to enter, then every one started coming in one by one and soon there was a huge crowd gathered, flowers, rock, sand, earth, sun, moon, sea, river, heat, light, lions, all kinds of vegetables, fruits, animals and all kinds of species of birds, nevertheless each and every creation was present, all praising God in its own way.
It was altogether a unique atmosphere, all the creations, praising god, such a peaceful atmosphere, such a silence, all eyes were closed, all lips were moving, every one was praying in its own way, and then suddenly it was all showered in divine light, the lord was there, all eyes tried to have a glimpse but they couldn’t see beyond a certain limit. All hearts started beating faster, no doubt the lord was present amongst them, all eyes were down, and every one was doing nothing put praying, though all minds were running at terminal velocity thinking about what that special thing could be, there were thousands of questions but not a single one was able to reach an answer.
“Today I am going to create something special which is going to be simple yet unique” the divine voice got every ones attention, “I want you all to come forward and add a quality you believe is the best in you”. All mind started the marathon yet again to come up with the best one they have, The angel Gabriel came forward first, I am made of fire, I would like this creation to have fire in it, the fire to win, the burning fire inside so it doesn’t have to sit back, the fire would help it keep moving and achieve all its goals, the other creations were still thinking. The sea came up with depth. The lord then said to the sea, I will add the depth to its eyes so when any one sees her they will know how deep it is. Sun added the light and glow, while moon came up with its calmness. One by one they all came forward, the rose came with its beauty and aroma, earth came with a big heart to add to the creation. To every ones surprise the clouds came up with tears, when asked it said “This creation should have tears so it doesn’t have to keep every thing in the heart and could wipe off the sad things with the tears”, they all seemed to agree.
The Rock came up with strength and the water came with liveliness and thirst to be the best, the rainbow came up with the glow, the diamond came up with its brilliance, the river said it would add the flow to this creation, every one was adding yet a new quality to this creation and they were all very happy to be the part of this creation, clay came up with the flexibility, the seed said it would add the dream and vision, when asked how, it said, the small seed has big trees and thousands of forest in it, I would like to add this vision to this creation so it knows its true value and never think that it is small so it is worthless, I want to add the value and worth to this creation.
Birds came up with flight, wind came with power, the thunderstorms added the might, the mind stood up and said I would like to compliment what the seed has added, I would like to add the notion that nothing is impossible, I want to add this feeling that every thing is possible if it tries. The trees came up with the quality of giving, we would like this creation to be always giving something to every one without asking any thing in return, like we give shadow and fruits to any one regardless of who he or she it. The oil came with its power to make every thing burn and run , another notion to help others even by burning itself.
Then the devil came in and added some selfishness, but the Lord agreed that if this creation does every thing for every one else it would not be able to do any thing for it self, I want this creation to be the best, though I don’t like devil my self, the lord said, but this is a good quality he has added and I will my self make sure that it has good use for the creation and is not used in bad way, all creations were at calm after the assurance by the lord.
The mother then stood up and said, I would like this creation to have LOVE, as you have given to me, the owl came with the ability to see in the dark, I wish this creature to use the qualities of seed and mind and my ability to see in dark so it never becomes disappointed, it knows that darkness has its own life and meanings too and then the sparrows came up and added faith, we want this creature to have blind faith, as we sing the songs of morning when it is still dark, we have a blind faith that the morning is going to arrive soon, we want this creature to have blind faith on you, that no matter what, you are always there to help. The camel ad donkey stood up, all were wondering what these creatures have to add. They said we want this creature to have strength to lift the burden, so it doesn’t have problems when it has too much burden on it.

The father came up with care, the language with expressions, the fun came up with smiles to add, the sugar added its sweetness and the salt also added a little of its taste. And it just went on and on. Each and every creation was adding some thing unique, some thing they believe to be the best quality they possessed. When every one was finished, they asked what are you going to make this creation to be, The lord responded, I will make it a human, since them I call the Best of the creations “Ashraf-ul-makhluqaat”(BEST OF ALL CREATIONS) , so this creation has to be a human being, possessing all the strength, love, depth, character, care, peace, aroma, brilliance and every thing else you added. but what are you going to add to it, the question was their in every ones mind and the lord scanned all the thoughts, “I know you are curious about it., I will add the divinity, THE SOUL, The part that will keep this creation attached to me and in toug times and challenges when it gets lost or astray, it will help this creation get connected to me.
As they were all listning, they suddenly could saw a big screen like thing in the air………..it was kind of a movie or something. ……And suddenly they realized it was a small room, few people in white dress were they’re surrounding some thing, and then they realized it was a lady, it didn’t take them much time to realize that lady was giving birth “Owwwwwwwwwaaaaaaain. Owaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin” dn the view focused on that new born, a bright illuming face, the lord said I added my glory to this creation to make it the BEST………….
The prayers and praise of the lord continued...
It's true for all creations, including you and me, Are we a living example of all those qualities? Are we. . .
