Man is a masterpiece of the creative power of God. In this vast universe, no creature like man exists. This has been mentioned in the Quran in different ways. We learn from the Quran that “We have honoured the children of Adam and exalted them above many of our creatures.” In the same vein, God says: “We have indeed created man in the best of mould.” Furthermore: “He shaped you, formed you well, and provided you with good things.”
A human being undoubtedly is the greatest masterpiece of divine creation. If you apprehend your existence in this way, you will have a great surge of feelings of acknowledgment of God. In your inner self, you will feel that God’s blessings upon you are so great that to describe it, no human words are sufficient. This discovery will give you a great point of reference for prayer. You will call out: “O God, you showered me with such great blessings in this world, will you deprive me of your blessings in the world hereafter? Will you consign your masterpiece to hellfire?”
