Be Like Nature –

Lush greenery and blooms of the brightest colour. One of the most poignant signs of the majesty of Allah is His creation. The intricacies with which He has created these self-subsisting systems cannot but leave one in awe of His perfect wisdom. In these isolating times of a global pandemic, one of the greatest reminders of His majesty for many has been the respite provided by nature. As we stroll amidst this greenery and examine it in further detail we come towards the realisation that we are not much different from this flora that surrounds us; just as they display a certain vulnerability, so too do we.

All That is on Earth will Perish

“All that is on earth will perish; But will abide (forever) the Face of thy Lord full of Majesty Bounty and Honor.” (Quran, 55:26-27)

In the hour of death, after this life’s whim

When the heart beats low, and the eyes grow dim,

And pain has exhausted every limb-

The lover of the Lord shall trust in Him.

When the will has forgotten the lifelong aim,

When the mind can only disgrace its fame,

And a man is uncertain of his own name-

The Power of the Lord shall fill this frame.

When the last sigh is heaved, and the last tear shed,

And the coffin is lying beside the bed,

And the widow and child forsake the dead-

The angel of the Lord shall lift this head.

For even the purest delight may pall,

And power must fail, and the pride must fall,

And the love of dearest friends grow small-

But the Glory of the Lord is all in all.
