are also present in the Sight of Allah. A spider which wove a net in
the branches of a willow in the Akkadian period is, likewise, weav-
ing this net just now. The same spider, in a corner of this net, is al-
so waiting for its prey right at this moment. Furthermore, the very
same moment you try to visualize this spider in your mind, it is lay-

present and the future. However, as also mentioned earlier, "events
not yet experienced" are not "yet experienced" for us. Past, future

everything. This fact is also stated in the following verse:
"My son!" (said Luqman), "Even if something weighs as little as a
mustard-seed and is inside a rock or anywhere else in the heav-
ens or earth, Allah will bring it out. Allah is All-Pervading, All-
Aware." (Surah Luqman: 16)

Your Life is Also a Single Moment

To comprehend this fact, there is no reason to ponder merely up-
on events or wander in the realms of history. One's life, which he as-
sumes to be long, too, is nothing but a moment. That first moment
you were born, and the moment your mother embraced you for the
first time still exist. That single square or that event will continue to
exist for all eternity because it is stored in the memory of Allah. Yet,
