Allah, in His infinite mercy, sends the winds as heralds of His grace.
From the heavens, He sends down purified water (rain) to revive lifeless lands.
This water is the essential sustenance for all living beings. We alter the form
of water in various ways for the benefit of humanity, yet the disbelievers fail
to heed the signs.
(Al-Furqan 48-50)
Water is a composite substance, while the soul is indivisible and
singular. A single drop of water, no matter its journey, cannot cease to exist.
It rises from the ocean, transforms into a cloud, and upon falling onto a
barren desert, it evaporates back into the atmosphere. When it falls in a
garden, it becomes dew, which nourishes fruit. It then enters our bodies,
either becoming part of our physical constitution or being expelled through the
kidneys and other excretory channels. Should it fall into the sea, it returns
to its point of origin. Thus, a drop of water remains eternally present in some
form.
If water, despite its composite nature, endures, then the soul, being of
a simpler, more fundamental nature, must inherently persist. Just as the sun's
rays, in their search for water droplets in the parched desert, guide them back
toward the celestial heights, similarly, the myriad drops of life that descend
into the mortal bodies of human beings will, in due course, return to the
boundless expanse of the infinite.
Are these individuals questioning the
coming of the Hour, and do they dispute the momentous reality of it? They will
soon come to know with certainty. Indeed, did We not make the earth a cradle?
(Al-Insan 1-6)
The earth, bathed in the radiance of the
sun, nourishes us through the rain-bearing clouds, trees, and fruits. In due
course, we depart this cradle, transitioning to another realm, much as a bird’s
true existence lies beyond the nest. Our ultimate life resides elsewhere; this
world is but a transient sojourn, brief and fraught with sorrow, after which we
depart.
"We leave this world to journey into
the afterlife. Here, we are but transient guests, and eventually, we will
journey beyond this world."
The Quran
exhorts contemplation on the signs of the Divine scattered throughout creation,
as expressed in the following verse:
"And He is the one who has
made for you stars, that you may navigate through the darkness of land and sea.
We have indeed elaborated the signs for those who possess knowledge."
(Al-An'am 97)
"The creation of the
heavens and the earth, along with the differences in your languages and colors,
are among His signs. In these are undoubtedly signs for those endowed with
intellect."
(Ar-Rum 20-22)
"Have you not seen that
Allah sends down rain from the sky, thereby bringing forth various fruits? And
in the mountains, there are strata, some white, some red, differing in hue,
while others are dark as night. Likewise, there are variations in the colors of
humans, animals, and livestock." (Fatir 27-28)
"Indeed, in the cattle, there is ample reflection. From between their dung and blood, We extract milk, pure and palatable for those who drink. Similarly, from the date palms and vines, you derive wine and nourishment. Observe how your Lord has instructed the bee to build its hive in the mountains, trees, and the branches that man has raised. Then it extracts nectar from the flowers, following its Lord’s path in full obedience. From it emerges a honey of various colors, in which there is healing for mankind. Surely, in this, there is a sign for those who reflect." (An-Nahl 66-69)

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MERCIFUL, THE BENEVOLENT
Dedicated to those scientists, who are inching towards the cognizance of the facts, spotlighted by Allah Almighty, in the wake of their intelligent observation for the top vertex of scientific achievement, which is not other than the "Disastrous end of the Universe". And this is probably during 15th century of Lunar calendar.
