Praise be to Allah who guided us to this and if it was not for Him we wouldn't have been guided "They said: Glory to thee: of knowledge We have none, save what it is thou who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom", prayer and peace be upon His Messenger the illiterate Prophet who was sent as a mercy to the worlds, his family members and companions.
In this message, we will Insh a Allah trace more of the verses in which Allah gives a precise description of His servants in a way that best serves the meaning of the verse. Sobhan Allah.
“He it is Who sends down water (rain) from the sky; from it you drink and from it (grows) the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture. * With it He causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit. Verily! In this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for people who give thought.” (Quran 16: 10- 11).
The word in Arabic here is Yatafakroun, which is derived from fakar. Fakar is to think. So in this verse people who think shall certainly realize the sign of Allah manifested in sending down the rain, which in turn used to grow various types of plants. Only people who think shall realize this sign. They will see how great it is to have the water from sky and use the same water to grow different types of plants.
“And He has subjected to you the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; and the stars are subjected by His Command. Surely, in this are proofs for people who understand.” (Quran 16:12).
In this type of sign, which is dedicating day and night, sun and moon as well as the stars to serve mankind, only people who can understand: and the word in Arabic is ya`aqeloun which is a derivative of a`aql. Y`a`qel ashya is to fully comprehend the thing, completely comprehend all aspects of the item subject to understand. Therefore, only people who possess this ability in other words people of science shall recognize such signs. Actually, the dedication of the mentioned items is a major action; only those who comprehend can appreciate it. On another verse Allah says” The creation of the heavens and the earth is indeed greater than the creation of mankind; yet, most of mankind know not.” (Quran 40:57).
“And whatsoever He has created for you on the earth of varying colors [and qualities from vegetation and fruits (botanical life) and from animals (zoological life)] Verily! In this is a sign for people who remember.” (Quran 16:13).
While here people who remember Allah a lot, people who indulge in remembrance shall easily be able to appreciate and comprehend the signs and miracles manifested in creating whatever on earth which is coming in different colors. They shall at this point look thoughtfully and say Sobhan Allah. May Allah Make us among them. Ameen
Praise be to Allah who guided us to this and if it was not for Him we would have never been guided and prayer and peace be upon His Messenger Mohamed Ibn Abdullah, his family members and companions.
