Question:
He says: What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nahl 16:8]? And what is the meaning of the saying, “The misfortunes of some people are the benefits of others”?
Answer:
As for the saying of Allah the Exalted:[An-Nahl 16:8], Allah knows best that He creates creatures, some of which we know and witness, and some of which we do not witness. In fact, many things we do not witness are from the knowledge of the unseen or from the Knower of the unseen, such as the angels, the jinn, the soul, and other things that we do not witness but which exist. This is one opinion. The second opinion is that “He creates that which you do not know” means that He will create new vessels, because the verse is in the context of vessels. It means He will create new vessels different from the previous ones, just as happened with airplanes, cars, ships, and others.
