Verse 3-4 Reflections
"He is the One Who created seven heavens, one above the other. You will never see any imperfection in the creation of the Most Compassionate. So look again: do you see any flaws? Then look again and again - your sight will return frustrated and weary."
In these verses Allah is demonstrating His Power and Greatness and telling us to look at His creation and how He has perfected it so that we may appreciate His Majesty and authority.
Everything in nature is a sign of His existence - from the water cycle which involves precipitation of water from which clouds are formed and are then are driven to another land so that the water may rain down and allow crops to grow so that animals and human beings can find nourishment, to the complex ecosystems of insects and animals which are all inter-connected.
We don't have to even look far - the human body is designed with so much complexity yet it is fine-tuned at the same time. Just taking a basic lesson in biology should be enough to make us appreciate Al-Khaliq's (The Creator's) Greatness.
Sometimes watching nature documentaries put's me in awe of Allah and appreciate Allah's authority and dominion (Mulk).
In these modern times, many of us are too busy living in concrete jungles, glued to our devices that we seldom look up at the skies and wonder about the creation of Allah. Our busy lives and lifestyles have made us disconnect from nature. So let us all try to spend some time just looking at the sky, the stars, the trees and the animals and contemplate about Allah. Allah is telling us to look in this ayah and this IS dhikr!
We don't have to necessarily recite any adhkar with the lips and a single 'SubhanAllah!' from the heart can be a very powerful means to draw us closer to Allah.
- Ustadh Rafiq ibn Jubair
