To
brighten up the universe, nature
has made very creation colourful and expressed this colourfulness through water,
and for the manifestation of water, it
created the earth. Every world has its own earth, and all these earths are
inhabited in space.
Life on earth
begins through water, which has all the colours of life in it, and these
colours have the formulae of creation in them. In addition to this, all that is
needed for the development of creatures is also stored in water. Water, which is termed "Maa"
in the Holy Quran, manifests with all its features in every mould.
The earth
is a collective mould for all creations. When it rains, the images of creations
that are within the water enter into their respective moulds inside the earth. For example, the image of a mango goes
into the mould of a mango and the image of a rose enters into its own mould; the
same is the case with the mountains. Similarly, the particles of iron and
petrol flow in their respective moulds, and
an elephant has its own separate mould too. Just like every other creature, the
mould of mankind is also inside the earth. Therefore, the foundation upon which everything is nourished and
manifests is called earth.
Water is
a blessing of God. One notices that while the water of an ocean is bitter, the
water of a well is either salty or sweet.
Then there is the murky water of the rivers, or the water of the springs that is pure and sparkling. Water
flows as blood in the arteries and veins of every being. All that mankind eats,
the quadrupeds graze, the birds peck at,
the fish breathe, or the true pearls that form in oysters and the
uncountable creations in the universe, are all varied manifestations of water.
Water is
life, and disconnection from
water is death.
About
three-fourths of the earth's surface is covered with water, while, one-fourth of it is, land. However, geologists and those who inhabit the land are well aware
that even the dry surface of the earth has water beneath it. Where does this
water in the springs that flow out of the mountains, come from? What is the
source of the water that flows out when one digs the earth? The deposits of
metals and minerals in the earth are also water.
The earth
is made up of a material that has the ability to stretch, however, as the
nature of the earth is to shrink, in order to hold it from shrinking. God
Almighty fixed the mountains upon it. That
is, the mountains have been used
as pegs and inserted into the earth and the stretching of the earth is balanced
due to the weight of these mountains. At my point, in exact opposite direction
to the mountains, there will be either equally heavy mountains or any other
creation that is equivalent to their weight.
If the weight of the inserted pegs is not equal on both side, then, the
earth will not remain earth.
"And We have placed in the earth firm
hills lest it quake with them.” (Quran, 21:31
The
mountains are creations like us, and
though we see them as hear and stationary, they give birth and are in varied
sizes. They breathe, listen, see,
feel, eat, drink, talk, and fly like the clouds. Heaviness is related to density. After descending into this world from paradise, the subtlety
of the senses inside us was subdued by density and we became subservient to
space. If the density is replaced
by subtlety, then one would see the mountains float like clouds.
“And thou seest the hills thou deemest solid
flying with the flight of clouds. "(Quran, 27:88)
The
clouds are formed by the condensation of vapour or gases and are made up of small
and large voids acting like sponges. Water is stored in these voids. The
mention of mountains flying like clouds points to the fact that there are
voids in the mountains too in which water is stored.
It is worthy
of contemplation that more than half of a mountain is inside the earth, and less than half is above it. The
point at which the part of the mountain is above the water is where the
creatures of the dry land are inhabited. In the beginning, the population on Earth was less than its
now, Settling on trees, people made pathways between the trees with wooden
planks. Thereafter, life moved on to the mountains and caves. Time rolled on, and the paths between the mountains flattened
to become towns and cities. Soon, wherever
the chains of mountains were far from each other, the seas became the routes for
travel. Seeing the network of roads and the novelty in construction that is
there today, very few people give a thought to the fact that just like in the
past, even to this day, the civilisations are settled in the mountains.
What we
understand as earth, are the peaks of mountain that have been flattened for the
population. The original earth is that upon which the mountain ranges stand and
the oceans float. Reaching the
earth, and these edges are beyond the reach of mankind and researchers. To
reach there, it is mandatory for one to learn the hidden knowledge. God
Almighty states,
"O company of jinn and men, if ye have power to penetrate (all)
regions of the heavens and the earth, then penetrate(them)! Ye will never
penetrate them save with (Our) sanction (Sultan). "(Quran, 55:33)
Mankind
in ancient times, lived in caves, while mankind in the present times inhabits
the high and low mountain peaks. These mountains have deposits of minerals and metals.
When the geological experts try to access these minerals and metals, they do not go out of the limits of the
earth, nor do they go inside the earth, they
just open (dig) the vast surfaces of the mountains. In some places they find
sweet water, iron, copper, gold, other metals, while in other places
they find lava. However, after a
certain level, the soil of the
mountain becomes a veil.
Just
like the clouds are a means of storage for the resources in the sky, in the
same way, the resources on earth are stored in the mountains. The particles of
the metals and minerals that come out of the mountain, such as, iron, copper, and petrol, all
emerge out in the rain.
It is
stated in the Holy Quran,
“Who hath appointed the earth a resting-place
for you, and the sky a canopy; and causeth water to pour down from the sky, thereby
producing fruits as food for you. And do not set up rivals to God when ye know (better).”
(Quran, 2:22)
Eras
pass, however, time remains present in every era. On the timelines of earth, the
period when the waters of the oceans will enter the dry lands is present. When the oceans become dry, all the constructions made on the
mountains will collapse and life will restart from the caves.
It is
said that after every ten thousand years, the water that is present on
three-quarters of the Earth changes its place, and the land that was drowned in
the past resurfaces i1 the place of the land that is empty of water. Until when
this cycle repeats and for how long it will continue, is entirely dependent upon the programme designed by God
Almighty.
In this
editorial, you read the verse about the "Sultan'" from the
Holy Quran. Sultan is an ability that has been bestowed to mankind on
Roz-e-Azal* and it was manifested in paradise.
After leaving paradise, a
veil was drawn over it.
Ladies
and gentlemen! Let us ponder upon this and make the subconscious our travel
partner in this contemplation.
God
Almighty stated to Adam, "Eat happily from wherever you want in paradise, however, do not go close to a tree, else, you
will be counted amongst the wrongdoers. " However, the action that was forbidden was committed, and Adam came
to this world from paradise. The ordinance of God Almighty is constant, therefore, if mankind docs not reject
being disobedient to the ordinance of God, then for them, paradise becomes questionable.
Respected
sisters, brothers, children, and elders! This world is temporary, it
is from God and is returning to God. Only those who have accepted the path of
obedience will be honoured in the court of God.
Please
write down all your actions from dawn until the time you go to sleep, and then
note how many actions among them are worthy of being accepted by God and
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), and how
many of them are otherwise?
In the
last Holy Book, the Quran, it is stated,
“O company of jinn and men, if ye have power to penetrate (all)
regions of the heavens and the earth, then penetrate (then)! Ye will never
penetrate them save with (Our)sanction (Sultan)." (Quran, 55:33)
May God
protect you.
