observations that the

human life. Anthropic
comes from the Greek
word anthropos (Man).

The very presence of life within the universe is reliant upon a large
number of extremely improbable events, and even the slightest alteration
would make it impossible for life to exist. Everything from the particular
energy state of the electron to the exact level of the weak nuclear force
seems to be tailored for us to exist. We appear to live in a universe

dependent on several independent variables where only a slight change
would render it inhospitable for any form of life. And yet, here we are.
Proponents of intelligent design draw support from this fact because it
strongly suggests that the cosmos has been specifically designed.

The Quranic principle "Taskheer"

In Quran there is a clear statement on the principle of "Taskheer" which

means that every thing in this universe is subservient unto mankind and
that leads to only one conclusion that all the delicate balance, that we
see in the universe, is fine-tuned to support the human life.

What is really interesting in Quranic verses talking about this

subservience "Takheer" is that they are talking about sky and state that
every thing in heavens is subserving mankind and that is a clear
indication to the theses of the anthropic principle that the universe, from
 its beginning and through the times of formation of galaxies and stars
passing by earth, is directed to support carbon-based human life.

(Hast thou not seen how Allah hath made all that is in the earth
subservient unto you? And the ship runneth upon the sea by His
command, and He holdeth back the heaven from falling on the earth
unless by His leave. Lo! Allah is, for mankind, Full of Pity, Merciful.)
