The mosquito is one of the proofs of creation mentioned in the Qur'an. God creates boundless evidence to remind man of His existence and His omnipotence. It is of the utmost importance to be aware of this fact, to reflect on it and to acknowledge God's power. Each person has a duty to reflect on the evidence of creation and live his life with the consciousness of the true purpose of his existence. The fact that man can discover this purpose through reflection is contained in a verse of the Qur'an:

Have they not travelled about the Earth and do they not have hearts to understand with or ears to hear with? It is not their eyes which are blind but the hearts in their breasts which are blind. (Qur'an, 22:46)

It is very easy for a person to comprehend God's existence. In the Qur'an, Prophet Abraham (pbuh) is given as an example of this. Prophet Abraham (pbuh) acknowledges as a matter of conscience that there is only one God. In spite of his polytheistic tribe, this noble person gave up the idols worshipped by his tribe and devoted himself to God alone. The following verses of the Qur'an tell us of Prophet Abraham's (pbuh) certainty in his faith in God:

Because of that We showed Abraham the dominions of the heavens and the Earth so that he might become a firm believer. When night drew its shadow over him, he saw a star and said, "This is my Lord!" Then when it faded in the morning light, he said, "I will not worship gods that fade." Then when he saw the moon come up he said, "This is my Lord!" But then when it set, he said, "If my Lord does not guide me, I shall surely go astray." Then when he saw the Sun come up he said, "This is my Lord! This is greater!" But when it set he said to his people, "I am done with your idols. I will turn my face to Him Who has created the heavens and the Earth and will live a righteous life. I am no idolater." (Qur'an, 6:75-79)

As in the example of Prophet Abraham (pbuh), it is self-evident that people of conscience can reflect on the existence of God. People who know this truth have the duty of living their lives in a way that is pleasing to God. God tells us in verses of the Qur'an that a brief life of six to seven decades in this world should not be preferred to eternal life in the Hereafter:

The life of this world is nothing but a game and a diversion. Surely, the Hereafter is better for those who guard against evil. So will you not use your intellect? (Qur'an, 6:32)

He who is conscious of having been created as God's creature and who therefore lives his life in a way that is pleasing to our Lord lives a good life on Earth and may also hope for eternal life in Paradise.
