gap between its blossoming and its fading. The time concept exists

only for us; the memory of Allah is superior to all times. Remem-
bering this fact, one realizes that all violets, which existed all
through history, are blossoming simultaneously, just as how they
are fading at the same time. All the moments of the lifetime of a tiny
little plant in an African jungle which grew 1500 years ago are also
coded in the "The Mother of the Book". Similarly, 14 centuries ago,
the tree under which true believers swore allegiance to our Prophet
Muhammad, the production of seeds by this tree, extension of its
buds, as well as the drying up of this tree, take place right at this mo-

ment. All the moments of a blade of grass, growing on any moun-
tain of the earth, a cactus in any desert, a bush growing in a remote
part of the world, a snowdrop in the tundra or a daisy growing near
a motorway are all kept in the memory of Allah. Most probably, no
one on earth is aware of these plants and from now on, no one will
ever recognize them. However, they are all known to Allah:

The concept of time is valid only for man. The memory of Allah is above all
times. Throughout history, all violets, which existed, are actually blossoming
right now, just as they are fading now. The same is also true for the violets
you grow in your flowerpot.
