We find in the Glorious Quran, countless ayat (the signs of Allah) that remind us of Allah’s greatness, glory, and perfection.
In Surah An Nahl (16:10-16), Allah (SWT) says:
10. 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;
11. 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.
12. And He has subjected to you the night and the day, the sun and the moon; and the stars are subjected by His Command. Surely, in this are proofs for people who understand.
13. And whatsoever He has created for you on this earth of varying colours [and qualities from vegetation and fruits, etc. (botanical life) and from animal (zoological life)]. Verily! In this is a sign for people who remember.
14. And He it is Who has subjected the sea (to you), that you eat thereof fresh tender meat (i.e. fish), and that you bring forth out of it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships ploughing through it, that you may seek (thus) of His Bounty (by transporting the goods from place to place) and that you may be grateful.
15. And He has affixed into the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you, and rivers and roads, that you may guide yourselves.
16. And landmarks (signposts, etc. during the day) and by the stars (during the night), they (mankind) guide themselves.
Subhan Allah! Glory be to You O Allah,You and only You are the Creator of all that exists in the heavens and on earth, the only One worthy of Worship. All praise is Yours, You are free from every imperfection.
We all have our own personal WOW moments, when we reflect on the beautiful creation of Allah and quite spontaneously proclaim Subhan Allah! Some of mine are:
- the smell and taste of freshly sliced watermelon on a hot day
- watching a new leaf unfurl on my houseplants
- the seemingly effortless ability of skin to repair itself after a cut
- watching a bird glide in the sky, unaffected by the pull of gravity
- the miracle that is water
- the bond between parents and their children
- how everything in creation is subject to the physical laws of Allah.
Subhan Allah!
“All the praises and thanks be to Allah. He will show you His Ayat and you shall recognise them. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do.” (27:93)
