"Do they not reflect upon the universe, the
earth, and the other creatures? Perhaps their death is near." (Al-A'raf 185)
In this vast expanse, there are innumerable suns, each
many times larger than our own, racing through the cosmos with unparalleled
speed. Our sun, in comparison to the innumerable stellar systems across the
universe, is but a minuscule entity. Despite this, humanity has been bestowed
with dominion over the entirety of creation.
"We have made man the best of all creation."
(Bani Israel 70)
All beings within the realms of color and fragrance, in every form, constitute
a single, unified community.
Whether they are celestial bodies or terrestrial
creatures, whether they are the species inhabiting these celestial spheres or
the individuals within those species, all are bound by the same essence. The
process of their creation is governed by the same inherent laws. The seas,
mountains, the sun, and the stars stand as brethren to mankind.
"Allah is He who created us from a single
soul." (Al-A'raf 189)
No being
possessing even a modicum of awareness can assert that this vast universe is
the result of a mere accidental conglomeration of elements. Hence, randomness
is non-existent within the cosmos. Is it conceivable that a river, which should
naturally flow downward, might suddenly ascend? Has any observer ever witnessed
a waterfall defying its nature, ascending rather than descending?
We partake of fruits daily, consume ground wheat. The
cells within our minds responsible for perception are in constant activity.
Every seed, in its essence, is a secure home for its familial and communal
lineage. Within each seed lies the blueprint of the tree it will become,
containing the specifications of its structure, its leaves, flowers, fruits,
and branches. This minute seed, nourished by the earth, the air, and the sun,
undergoes transformation into the full-grown tree. In the same manner that every
seed encapsulates the entirety of its lineage and legacy, the past and future
of the cosmos reside in the Divine cognition of Allah.
"There is not a particle, nor an atom, nor anything more or less
significant within the heavens and the earth, which is not contained within the
Manifest Book, which is to say, in the knowledge of Allah and His eternal
cognition." (Saba, 34:3)
Upon engaging in contemplation of the surrounding
world, it becomes evident that there exists a supreme force whose power
encompasses all that is living and in motion. Each entity is enveloped by a luminous
aura that preserves its form. This aura may manifest in shades of green, red,
or other colors, while beyond it exists a further aura that transcends color
itself. Even though this metaphysical power eludes visual perception, its
existence is irrefutable.
"Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Living,
the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him
belongs all that is in the heavens and the earth. Who is it that can intercede
with Him except by His permission? He is aware of what lies before them and
what is after them. They cannot encompass His knowledge except as He wills. His
Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not
burden Him. He is the Most High, the Most Great." (Al-Baqarah 255)
"Do they not see that the heavens and the earth were once a closed entity, and then We opened them? We made from water every living thing. Will they then not believe? We placed firm mountains on the earth to prevent it from shaking, and We created pathways for them to be guided. We made the sky an impregnable canopy, yet they turn away from the signs of Allah. He is the One who created the night and the day, the sun and the moon, each traveling in its own orbit." (Al-Anbiya 30-33)

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.
