(4) THE SIGNS OF ALLAH THAT ARE MANIFEST IN HIS
CREATURES
آيات الله في المخلوقات
If you must ponder on the universe, including the earth,
the sun, the moon, the stars, the planets, the mountains, the trees, the oceans
and the animals, they will surely point to the existence and oneness of Allah,
the most High and the most well acquainted of all things. He is therefore the only deity who creates
and who is worthy of worship. It is he who created all those things, the
originator of existence and the one besides whom there is no other deity. He is the object of worship by all creatures. Everything repeats his praises, even the
birds. Allah, the most High and Wise,
says: […and the birds (of the
air) with wings outspread? Each one knows its own (mode of) prayer and praise.]
(Q24:41). Allah, the exalted in mighty
and Wise, says: [...there
is not a thing but celebrates His praise; And yet you understand not how they
declare His glory!] (Q17:44).
It means that everything celebrate his praise, including the animals, the
inanimate and the earth, all in a manner that we do not comprehend. We cannot understand the manner in which the
birds, the trees and all other creatures, carry out such celebration of
praises, for everyone does so in its own tongue or technique, which completely defies
our comprehension. But Allah, the most
exalted, is well acquainted of their methods.
This drives us to ponder and contemplate on the following saying of
Allah: [Seest
thou not that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens
and on earth,- the sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals;
and a great number among mankind? But a great number are (also) such as are fit
for Punishment...]
(Q22:18). Therefore, there is no deity
worthy of worship besides Allah, the Omnipotent, the true God of manifest truth,
the Creator who is worthy of subservience; unto whom everything prostrate,
including the stars, the mountains, the trees, the animals, the sun and the
moon.
There
is no deity worthy of worship except you.
O our lord! We worship none other than you.
