We
often say that Allah is the source of whole knowledge, so when I thought about
this fact I concluded the following aspects: These aspects are not exhaustive
this list goes on and on and it should go on and on.
Allah: The Ultimate Creator
Allah is
an ultimate creator indeed, a creator who does NOT need any reference or
inspiration! When humans create their creative skill need a reference or
inspiration, like the flight of a bird might have been an inspiration for
modern day avionics. When we make software we take the real time
scenario in consideration. But Allah's skills are beyond all these limitation,
he creates from nothingness!
Allah: The Ultimate Engineer
When we
talk of engineering, we talk of optimum utilization of resources, we talk of
efficient design. So praise be to Allah who is the ultimate engineer, let’s go
through a few examples.
The human
cell is on average 10 µm. In layman’s (and laywoman’s) terms it is smallest of
the small, extremely small such that the human eye can’t see it. Certain
smaller portion of a cell is occupied by the nucleus (the controlling center)
and has the DNA. DNA again in layman(and laywoman’s) terms are protein strands
which have our ‘code’ what is the complexion of the individual, hair colour,
color of eyes etc all is encoded in our DNA. Now consider the
engineering abilities of Allah that “three kilometers” long DNA is placed
inside a nucleus ! The DNA strands are so extensively coiled so as to fit them
in the nucleus!
Moreover
if all DNA inside us is placed end to end then it can make 17 round trips from
earth to sun!! One can be nothing but stunned and praise Allah (Subhan Allah)
Further,
the example of our backbone can be taken which is so strong yet so flexible
that it can bend both ways, it has a very impressive design containing bones
and fluid sacks!
The
examples continue infinitely, and one can witness unlimited such crafty
occurrences, so every engineer should look upto these examples and learn.
We should learn beyond the engineer’s half filled glass argument: “the
glass is twice as large as it is required to be”
Allah: The Ultimate Crisis Management Engineer
Nature's crisis management is free from blame game and repentence, nature's crisis management means 'recovery' starting straightaway, it does not bother either possible or not, it just starts off the process. Any wound on human body that bleeds is treated in a standard way, the platelets come and start attaching themselves to the site to stop blood loss. No matter how big the wound might be, no matter it be out of scope of the body to recover it self, recovery is anyhow started. So much lessons we can learn from this!
Allah: The Ultimate Historian
He is
such an amazing Historian who not only knows the true and real aspect of whole
history but also knows what is yet to happen. Praise is to the creator who
knows ‘everything’ about ‘everyone’. I
wonder the design of Allah’s database which can contain limitless information!
And yet it can never choke or mal-function neither does it have any security
threat. When a service is from Allah it can never be down!
Allah: The Ultimate Artist
Allah
has got great aesthetics. Consider
any tree and one can ‘never’ find it out of proportion, the balance of quantity
of leaves, the color schemes on the tree , the shape and size of flowers(if any)
is in complete balance with the overall built of the tree, check out any
flowering plant/tree and never can we notice that the color of the flower and
leaves are not blending well, or the color combination is un aesthetical. Even
desert plants have colors that suit in the color scheme of the desert.
I have
also seen many creepers having flowers of two colors, in that case both colors
are so well spread over the whole creeper that there is neither any abundance
of any nor scarcity of any of the colors!
Allah
is the ultimate Artist indeed and I must make a note here that this is just a
minute spec of Alah’s artistry!
