When I Was Being Asked About Creativity

In a random interview to consultancy firm, an interviewer asked me a question, that was: what is creativity for you?

To which, I frequently answered (I remember what I said)

My words were: if you ask me, I would say that my creativity lies in my words with which ALLAH has blessed me.

Well, that was, of course, a "Heal With Words" writer's words. But, being a human, if you ask me the same question again, then my answer would be different this time.

For me, the actual art is done by ALLAH ALMIGHTY and indeed, He is the Creator of creators. I know, you may not deny me. 

A Few Observations

Below, sharing some personal observations (which end up making you agree with me more):

1. Recently, I have seen a premature baby post-birth growth video. He was 4-5 months premature. Interestingly, how did he got his eyes, face, nose, hands, and everything into shape in his post-birth tenure (that he had spent in incubator) was eyes opening and impressive.

Not only this, but everything in the surroundings is the prove of His creativity.

2. For instance, you have noticed the clouds floating in the sky, they change the shapes and mesmerize the viewer with their white (or sometimes, black) fluffy cotton-like look. Aren't they make you say MA SHAA ALLAH (what ALLAH wills)? I know, they do.

3. I remember, when I was a kid, I used to do star gazing while lying on the roof of my house. Me and my siblings used to count the red and blue stars separately. Yes, their blinks and shine leaves a person awestruck.

The sky has always fascinated me in lots of ways. I think that if we only talk about the sky. Then we still can't cover its every corner. The vastness of the sky that allows us to fly as high as we want is unimaginable to measure. Right?

4. Since, I have started blogging, I got to know about many flowers that exist in this world (about which my knowledge was zero before), like rose of Jericho, nerve plant, lilies, or money plant, etc. All the plants look different from each other, and have amazing colors and shapes.

If we say that a human learned about colors from flowers, then it might not be wrong.

5. According to the Holy Quran, ALLAH has created the whole universe in 6 days. (Source)

Isn't it astonishing?

We take many days to complete a single painting and ALLAH had not only created the universe but painted and decorated it with various other beautiful elements in just 6 days. Can you imagine it? The whole universe, for science-lovers, the old Big Bang Theory. Amazing! No?

6. Look around, you see many human faces. Some of them are charming enough to grab your attention at first sight. When I see someone like that, I just praise ALLAH for creating such a beautiful face. Undeniably, only He can do this.

Note: I am talking about the beautiful faces which can be found in any caste, race or color. My point is not in the favor of racism.

7. Then, you see animals. Some are cute while others horrify you with their angry looks. These are the part of their personality traits. ALLAH has created different animals with unique and individual features. 

8. Also, we eat vegetables and fruits of different taste and shapes. We love round oranges, curved bananas, oval potatoes, and crunchy cabbage. All this foodstuff is the craft done by the Divine God.

Ultimately, whenever I try to write about ALLAH's creativity, I go short of words because I think I can't cover all His blessings and creativity fields. 

Undoubtedly, ALLAH's creativity is not confined to the sky or earthy artefacts, but it also covers the things that a human creates because a man does only what ALLAH directs him to do. 

In the end, all I want to say that

"So, which of the flavors of your Lord would you deny." Surah Al-Rehman verse

Happy Reading!
