I Wonder About Allah

Let man consider the food he eats! We pour down abundant water and cause the soil to split open. We make grain grow, and vines, fresh vegetation, olive trees, date palms, luscious gardens, fruits, and fodder

Abasa 80:24-31

“Don’t ever forget your Lord, who feeds you with such beautiful fruits.

Some people, just like the first man, recognise the true Sender of these gifts and thank Allah, the Creator of the tree.

But some of them say, “I don’t see a Sultan. I see these trees. These fruits are made by these trees. This is a natural thing.”

“Of course, I do respect you, and thank you. But the one I should actually be thanking is the Sultan. From now on, I will only praise his treasures and only talk about his generosity.

Those trees reaching out their branches with a variety of fruit are just like that ambassador. Allah sends his endless treasures through their hands.

It allows us to get to know Him better.

If we had not seen these miracles come from such simple causes, we would never know Allah as well as we do now. We wouldn’t know of his ability.

Now let’s look at that tasteless dark soil, water that flows to wherever you lead it, and the air. Then let’s think about all those fruits and vegetables once more, or even thousands more times. Let’s try to understand what kind of a Creator our Lord is.

Lord has made the soil, water and air a reason for all these delicious foods.

These three substances; soil, air and water, that don’t know us or the needs of our stomachs, have been created as a cause for all food.

If Allah hadn’t offered the milk to us by making cows, we wouldn’t be able to witness this extraordinary happening. Yet, isn’t it really interesting for milk to be created through such weird causes. What a huge miracle it is!
