Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created. Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood: Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,- He Who taught (the use of) the pen,- Taught man that which he knew not. (Quran, 96:1-5)
If people were to gather together to create an ant they will fail to do so. If only people would reason and contemplate in the universe and come to recognise their great Creator?
We don't want to conquer space at all. We want to expand Earth endlessly. We don't want other worlds; we want a mirror. We seek contact and will never achieve it. We are in the foolish position of a man striving for a goal he fears and doesn't want. Man needs man!
Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed.
Oceans, mountains, birds, insects, fishes, animals, the succession of seasons, the alteration of day and night.... aren't all these signs to ponder on? wouldn't all these let you bow down in reverance to Your Creator and say "All praise and glory are to You our Lord!!"
Parents are a great gift from our Creator, their love know no bounds. Just let us do our best to show our love for them as much as we can before it's too late, though we will never give as much as they have given us.
