Contemplating the signs of Allah manifested throughout the horizons.
0:15
The cosmic signs of Allah are magnificent and overwhelming.
0:19
Yet, their constant appearance before our senses and sight
0:23
makes them seem commonplace to the observer.
0:26
Consequently, one’s contemplation and reflection upon them diminishes.
0:30
But if one intentionally sets out to reflect upon them and their grandeur,
0:34
their senses awaken, and their heart fills with awe and reverence for their Creator,
0:39
as well as love and glorification for Him, glorified be He.
0:43
Therefore, a person ought to contemplate the towering mountains,
0:47
the trees that clothe some of them,
0:50
the earth with its paths, plains, and gardens,
0:54
the sea, its vastness, and the rising of its waves when it surges and churns,
1:00
and the sky with its planets and stars that adorn and guide,
1:06
and all else besides that.
1:08
Allah the Exalted spoke the truth when He said:
1:11
“We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the Truth. Doth not thy Lord suffice, since He is Witness over all things?” (41:53)
1:16
“We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the Truth. Doth not thy Lord suffice, since He is Witness over all things?” (41:53)
1:20
“We shall show them Our portents on the horizons and within themselves until it will be manifest unto them that it is the Truth. Doth not thy Lord suffice, since He is Witness over all things?” (41:53)
1:26
And the Exalted says:
1:28
Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day
1:33
are signs for those of understanding.
