The history of humankind tells us loud and clear that the nations
blessed with wisdom and insight are those who reflect upon the signs that Allah
has spread across the earth. The crown of worldly dominion rests upon those
individuals who utilize the intellect and understanding granted by Allah,
adorning themselves with reason, wisdom, knowledge, and forbearance. Have we
ever paused to consider that if the springs flowing within the earth were to
dry up, who possesses the power to restore them?
The vibrant expanse of the skies, the divine light that sustains life,
the array of gases, the constellations of stars adorning the vast blue canvas
of the heavens, the moon illuminating the darkness of night, the sun that
invigorates the daylight, the gentle breeze, the fragrant, serenely flowing
morning zephyrs, the harmonious songs of the trees, the chirping of birds, the
melodious call of the nightingale, the sweet song of the cuckoo—who is the
Creator of all these? Do we have any role in this intricate creation? If these
elements did not remain in a state of perfect harmony under a coherent system,
what resources do we possess to maintain such an order?
If we were to interpret these phenomena in
terms of exaltation and magnificence, acknowledging our own limitations, we
would recognize numerous signs within our own bodies that demand our attention
and reflection.
Consider, for instance...
How are the hairs on the body so intricately
arranged? Why does a man’s face bear a beard, while a woman’s face remains
smooth and hair-free? Does this not point to a purposeful design within this
system, offering us profound signs for contemplation?
The presence of facial hair on a man is
regarded as a symbol of masculinity, while the smooth, delicate, and refined
face of a woman is perceived as a reflection of her beauty. The very hair that
grows on a man's face does not appear on a woman's face due to a specific
biological process, in which the density of blood is naturally regulated. In
essence, hair is a manifestation of the thickness of blood. Consider, for a
moment, how nature has transformed this density into hair, which adheres to the
face, head, and body in a highly structured manner.
When we delve into the intricate mechanics of the eye, we find that
thousands of muscles function as components within the divine system designed
by Allah. Upon examining the brain’s operations, we discover that it contains
approximately twelve trillion cells, each of which plays a role in the sensory
processes that enable human perception. These cells contribute to the
activation of thought and reflection within the individual. The heart, with its
complex and highly organized machinery, operates according to a precise
command, balance, and program. It serves as the engine that sustains human
cells, with no intervention or control from human will.
Have you ever pondered these profound intricacies?
the process of your growth within the dark confines of your mother’s
womb, and how, through the transition from this realm of darkness, you
eventually emerged as a radiant beacon of light? It could have just as easily
been the case that, instead of a human being, a serpent or a monkey could have
emerged from the womb of Eve. Undoubtedly, the universe operates in a highly
organized and perpetual system, and the governing framework of this vast cosmos
is the system of "Takwīn" (The Divine Administration system).
Contemplate for a moment: If Allah were to extend the night and merge it
with the Day of Judgment, could any power, other than Allah, protect you from
its interminable duration? And if, by His will, Allah were to prolong the night
until the Day of Judgment, could any force, apart from Allah, grant you the
repose of peaceful sleep and the tranquility that night bestows?
When rainfall nourishes the dry, arid, and desolate earth, it gives rise
to grapevines and date palms, each distinct in color, fragrance, and flavor.
This is a remarkable phenomenon: the same water, after passing through various
processes, results in such diverse colors, forms, and tastes. Does this not
compel us to reflect upon the inherent wisdom behind the fact that mulberries
do not grow on mango trees, peaches do not emerge from mango trees, and berries
do not sprout from peach trees?
Despite the presence of thousands of suns
within galaxies, why does darkness envelop the Earth during the night? Science
has established that the Earth revolves around the Sun, and it is acknowledged
that the Sun contains fiery flames. However, what remains unexplained is who
governs the rotation of the galaxies. We seek to understand why even the most
esteemed scientists ultimately succumb to death. Why does the heart of a
scientist, who is capable of performing heart transplants, eventually cease to
function?
Do they
not look at the sky above them, how We have made it and adorned it, and there
are no cracks in it?"
( Qamar 6)
Prophet Job (P.B.U.H.) in his book (Job,
Chapters 28, 29) asks:
"Who has determined the paths of the
floods and the ways of lightning and thunder? Can you call upon the clouds to
pour rain upon you? Can you summon the lightning to appear before you? Who has
endowed the heart with understanding and wisdom? And who has granted the deer
its freedom?"

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.
