This is a quick post and something that i would love to share with all of you, brothers and sisters....something that i got from ttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Coffee-break-for-Muslims/184959634883339
Does not the universe tell it all?
In the observable universe, there are many galaxies. In one supercluster, there are many many galaxies, one of which is our galaxy: the Milky Way. The Milky Way has millions of stars - according to one estimation - around 300 billion stars. Out of these there are many planets. One of which is our planet - the Earth. The Earth has a whole story of its own. There is vast portion knows as water. All rest is land. That is divided into many continents. From them, take one continent. Divide it into many, huge countries. Take your country from them. Divide it into cities. Take your city. Divide it into areas. Take your area, divide it into further sectors, streets, houses. Take your street. Take your house. Take yourself. You are just one human being. And, now compared, you are highly insignificant O human.
This message should make us at a complete loss for words. Why you ask? Many lessons can be drawn, for your benefit, some are summarised as follows:
1. When you start thinking about the universe and its size and its contents and about the vast space, there comes a time when your mind just stops comprehending and starts spinning. Your mind reaches its limit. And you are made to realize how very small you are. How very human.
Helps the arrogant to come back to the reality: we are humans after all. Just humans.
2. Thinking about this vast universe helps relieve stress and depression. Don't believe me? Take it this way: think of the whole universe (and you cannot do that, our limited knowledge and limited thinking fails to comprehend the immense space out there), now remind yourself that Allaah alone created this all. And He knows every thing that is taking place there. He knows every galaxy, every star, every movement, every phenomenon, every thing. Literally every thing! That Lord also knows your heartache and your every tear. And He doesn't forget.
Don't believe for a moment that All Knowing and All Powerful Lord cannot remove your distress. Nor let the enemy (Shaytaan) make you believe that your Lord has forgotten that you are in pain. Your Lord does not forget.
3. It makes us think about bigger things. When we don't reflect on the nature, the universe, the cosmos, we end up being so narrow minded. Yes, admit it. We start thinking this world, this dunyaa, this earth is every thing. We start living like this is the final life, as if there is nothing beyond this life.
And by doing this, we look at a very tiny part of the whole picture. Stand back and look at the whole picture; you'll realize what you were missing out on.
4. This makes us fear Allah and turn to Him in repentance. How can we possibly disobey a Lord so powerful?!
5. This makes us make du'a with much more attention and hope. A Lord so powerful, to Whom belongs the creation, the dominion and the command can most certainly give us what we want. Whatever we want.
6. It makes us long for and strive for Jannah. You see there are much better things out there than this limited world of loss, pain and diseases. There is another whole world out there, concealed from our eyes. And what were we thinking? That this is the only life?
Aim high. Aim for the best. Don't become so engrossed in this dunyaa that you forget something so much better than this - both in quantity and in quality - the hereafter.
Find solace.
