In Praise of Allah


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!
