You have the
right to be astonished and to wonder at the secrets of life, new for new, and
to implement the tradition of the Messenger of God, “Quest for knowledge from
the cradle to the grave” He also request you to meditate on your origin until
your end in the grave, i.e. by thinking of
death so that your soul fears this end, then it resorts to God in order
to see the indisputable facts by means of the light of the Almighty God even if
you have passed your age, however it extends, and you have pierced the times
roaming in the horizons and oceans of
sciences, which do not come to end. Your sight is inverted myopically; and
your knowledge has bequeathed you the secrets of life in prostration to that
solemnity, and the mysterious and obvious Divine Greatness in diversities of
its creation which were found in unprecedented
example.
There are groups of great cosmic systems
in their very strong constructions running in orbits. There are groups of stars
staggering in wonderful majesty and ravishing beauty.
Who is the one that made these mighty powers which emit light in spite of their distances, and
cosmic forces in cohesive connection and disconnection in such a way as the
solidity of building stones decorating the sky? The earth is
subjected to their forces, day and night. Some clear ones of them are
guides to travelers in deep seas or vast arid lands. Some of them have
clandestine effect on the seas that prevent them from scattering and flowing
away. Hence, the moon is but a spherical stony mass revolving in its sky that
it (the moon) cannot exceeds its orbit.
It in order and uniformity rises slowly,
looks down with its beautiful face arousing the hiding places of the seas to
keep corruption away as it arouses the blood in the bodies on the first moonlit
nights to remove from them all spoiled blood by cupping.
The
earth in its revolution covers years and epochs without tiredness or weariness.
The mountains are unshakable above it regulating its revolution and preventing
its swaying. God said, “And He has affixed into the Earth Mountains standing
firm, lest it should shake with you, and rivers and roads that you may guide
yourselves.”
The
Holy Qur’an,
Fortress (15)
An-Nahl (15)
The revolving of
the earth originates the night and the day following each other in increasing
and decreasing until everything gives out its fruit in a management of
wonderful regulation, as a result, the
four seasons are created where the victuals become of various kinds after
watering the thirsty land, preparing the fields for work, and flowering of
trees to bear for you the big delicacies and nourishments and the small ones as
vitamins in the form of cordiality and gifts as a great pledge for you, O. Man.
Who has created all? And
who has innovated all? And who is the regulator of
forces? Who makes the earth revolving and brings the night followed by the day?
Who sends rain…? Did all these inanimate things exist themselves by themselves?
And did they organize themselves by themselves? And who provides the planets, the sun, the moon and the
galaxies with light? Is the blind subjected Nature which created the eyesights and the endowed by eyesight? Or
there is a great controlling creating potency that has created, innovated and
originated!
What about the glaciers lying down in
its two poles? And what will make you know what it is?
They are one of the secrets of
existence. The high property of man lies down in them excepting all other
creatures. Outpouring and very clear water comes to us without harm, or effort
or toil. It is like Al-fijeh water of Damascus which we enjoy clear, healthy, cool, fresh and
abundant in bliss in summer or winter.
All germs in the earth which work,
insects, animals, and fishes in the seas, all of these various kinds in their
life and work are working together and collaborating under our control and
disposition of the human beings.
What about the human body and what do we
know about it?
It is another sea. It is one of the seas
of the universe. Diving into it and delving into its secrets would be a kind of
miracle of the time. It makes man fall prostrated to
the greatness of its builder and founder. The human science is still at its
early daybreak of exploring and verfying this sea
''the human body'' in spite of the high technological advance.
Yes!
Let us travel every day to the shiny hands of God while doing miracles in these
cosmos, in the mountains, the sea, and in the sky “And also in your own selves.
Will you not see”
The
Holy Qur’an,
Fortress (51) Adh-Dharyat (21)
Let us kneel before this great hand
hoping that the luminous water of real life may penetrate into our thirsty
hearts, in order to be infatuated with Him the Almighty, to be free from these
materialistic screens that stand between
us and Him and His the Almighty Love. Then we may have the high state of
reverence for Him, and return to the instinct of perfection in order to save
ourselves from the eternal loss. Our energies are deposited
in our trust, and this deposit is temporal, it will not last forever. Tomorrow,
we shall be without sight, hearing, smelling, willing, air, water, sunlight, or
moonlight; and we shall be without brothers or friends where aspirations
decline and we lose hope in a ditch in the ground ''the grave'' which made a
reward for our pursuit and panting after this world without penetration through
it to its most High Maker. For these reasons and for His
love, mercy for us, God, the Almighty, knows all that, and after having varied
His bounties and graces, He made us look at loss and extinction, and since we
are rational and our religion is logical He elevated us by His Prophet (cpth) by what He conferred upon him (cpth)
the sciences, secrets and miracles of this world, and the science of the true
psychiatry. So he “the prophet (cpth)” unveiled to us some secrets of the spirit saying;
man is always with whom he loves. So, if any one adheres himself to something
or somebody other than God, he is cut off. Everything happening in the universe
is passing to extinction except God.
He who loves God an authentic love which
poured out from deep thinking, he who glorifies and becomes righteous for fear
of losing the affection of the Beloved the Almighty (Glory be unto Him), and
expels his heart from the love of villainous world before the coming of death. Then death will be his
masterpiece, and the Day of Resurrection will be the day of eternal hilarity
for him. But he who has abandoned God and starts
enjoying himself in the vanities of the world; and he has not made of it a
mount for his high advent to his God by doing good and charity. But he remained
stumbling in directing its devilish fancies and contents as if he were a toy in
satanic hands without knowing and this is a sheer misery and a great loss.
Whereas that great thinker, our exemplar
(cpth), searched for the owner of this universe.
He believed in God frequently from a new
starting point, from the marvels of the great universe, he found the way to God
is open in every time, day and night, from here until doomsday, to the eternity
of the eternals.
Let us try to escape from the snare of
loving of the embittering world even if we could remember for a while death and
its horrors so as to fear the destiny. We shall then throw away the despicable world from our hearts, and
we could head ourselves to the Great God, and keep our contemplation
concentrated on his benefactions as a daily supply in the morning and at sunset
between the friends and the beloved ones in gardens and on roads in the summer
and the winter hoping that the autumn of our life will turn into springtide,
and our faces will lighten by the lightning of the gleams of the faith in God.
Then we may perceive this eulogy to find
ourselves glorifying God through His make during our vigilance and our sleep
then our graves will be one of the orchards of paradise by improvement and
uprightness of our faith and acts with a Mighty King. And
for that let the rivals compete.
