Infinite Probabilities

by

Talha Ahmed

What is an accident? Unfortunate mishap or some incident with very less probability; what about the incidents with high probability? There is a high probability that I will watch TV tonight. But, is there really a high probability that I will watch TV tonight? When we calculate probabilities, we observe the event with respect to the events that can happen. But why don’t we take in calculation the events that could have happened before the present time? An answer would be “because the events have already happened!” OK. For the sake of argument, I agree. Then we only take the events which can happen in the future. What if I take a distant event like “My grandson’s grandson will sit on the sofa and watch TV while drinking Coca cola on 21st October 2145”. What is the probability? This is one event; what are the total events possible? Imagine and imagine; anything can happen. The only answer that comes is “infinity”. And one event divided by infinite possibilities comes up with the probability of “zero”.

Now, what if, my grandfather’s grandfather thought about the probability of me watching TV and drinking Coca Cola on 21st October 2010? The probability is ZERO.

[Take your time. Think about it]

Don’t just stop and decide that your probability of reading this article is zero (which it is). Start thinking about everything! The clothes you are wearing, the home you are living in, the computer on which you are reading this, the mobile which you adore so much, everything, everything, everything. Start realizing that the probability of you being “you” is absolutely zero.

So, let’s come to the ideology of everything being an “accident”. We are all a sweet accident, Earth is an accident, living beings are an accident, me and you are accidents, etc. Now, let’s apply our previous deliberation to the event “earth an accident”. If you go beyond earth, study the universe, and talk to the scientists, they will tell you that there could have been millions of possibilities for the small rock now called “Earth”.

The point of all this is as follows: There is no such thing as an accident. The history of earth bears witness that the events had absolute zero probabilities and still, they happened and were not accidents, they were MIRACLES.

I am not an accident. I am a MIRACLE; ALLAH’s miracle. The probability of me, lying on my bed, is ZERO. That is why, the mere creation of me, is a miracle, an act of Allah.

“Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which God Sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they Trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth;- (Here) indeed are signs for a people that are wise.”

Believing in Allah is the key.
