Reflecting on Nature (Part 1)

obaloch — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 20:31:54 +0000

The Quran encourages Muslims to engage in deep reflection on nature. “Indeed in the creation of the heavens and earth, and in the rotation of the day and night, there are signs for those who reflect.”

Be sure to keep scrolling to the end of the list. There you’ll see remarkable pictures of bats enjoying an evening drink at their favorite watering hole that are so detailed you can even see them slurping from the pool with their little pink tongues. The amazing shots were taken after months of painstaking planning by wildlife photographer Kim Taylor. Taylor rigged ropes across the pond, which encouraged the bats to drink from a certain point. Then, using special sensors he designed himself, he managed to get the perfect shots.

The Design in Nature

God is Great

To get an idea of how insignificant a human is in comparison to the universe lets take a look at the following pictures; which don’t do justice in showing a proper comparison.

In the past few days these are the images I have kept in mind while doing prayers.

Now imagine all the trees on earth, and imagine a God who is aware of every one of those leaves as they fall…. go ahead think for a minute.

Now, think that this same God created this gigantic universe.

Now think of how insignificant humans can be….

So how a human fails to recognize this Great God…how insignificant an act it would be for HIM to disregard and discard those who fail to obey Him. But if a human recognizes him, then as great as these creations are, they themselves can not appreciate the Greatness of God, but a human can…a person sees these pictures and say, “Glory be to God!” (Subhanallah)…that’s the person of human beings for God.

“For God is the heavens and the earth”

“All that in the heavens and the earth glorifies God”
