In the cosmic order, when we sow a seed in the earth, it undergoes a
meticulous process of growth, sustained by the earth's nurturing forces. The
seed, upon penetrating the earth's surface, divides into two delicate layers,
bound to a nascent branch. This initial connection of the seed’s two parts to
the branch symbolizes a crucial phase in its life cycle. As the roots of the
plant gain strength, the initial layers shed, and a new bud blossoms from the
branch. The plant’s development progresses so profoundly that a humble seed
eventually transforms into a fully-grown tree, providing sustenance and
sustenance to the creatures of Allah.
This process, when considered, reveals profound wisdom. In the maternal
womb, there are neither fruit-bearing trees nor milk or grains. The developing
fetus exists within a system governed by natural laws, an equilibrium that
synchronizes with time’s passage—moments, hours, days, and months. Upon birth,
two streams of nourishment are provided, specifically designed for the infant's
needs. However, as the child moves toward nutritional independence, these
fountains gradually cease to flow. The mother, whose innate desire is to
nourish her child directly from her breast, finds herself now providing
sustenance through alternative means. Furthermore, Allah, who loves the child
more than seventy mothers combined, causes the earth to become a mother,
offering every resource necessary for the sustenance of life.
This divine arrangement calls for reflection: why does nature engage in
this lavish service? The answer lies in the wisdom that nature invites us to
ponder its signs. Through this contemplation, we are meant to lead lives of
righteousness, for righteousness is the most exquisite manifestation of the
divine craftsmanship in creation. Allah’s will is that His creation embodies
beauty, harmony, and balance, devoid of any disorder or corruption.
The Quran
in Surah Yunus affirms the reward for the righteous: "We will fully reward
the righteous for their deeds, and even grant them more. We will shield their
faces from the darkness of disgrace and misery, and in Paradise, they will find
eternal peace." In contrast, those who follow a path of wickedness will
receive a recompense in line with their deeds. Their faces will be blackened
with dishonor, and their final abode will be Hell, as stated in the divine
text.
Righteousness is the profound realization of
the Creator by the devotee. Those who fail to attain this understanding remain
deprived of the essence of their existence. To achieve the knowledge of the
Creator, self-awareness is the prerequisite. Self-awareness, in this regard,
involves the contemplation of the divine light of Allah embedded within one's
own being, acknowledging the presence of the sacred within the self as the
means to access the higher truths of existence

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".
