              reflect. There are thousands of people, cars, trees, big
              and small, and countless details all around us. Here,
              the outlook of a believer is very clear. We try to get
              the most from what we see around us. We think
              about the causes of events. The view we confront has
              come about within the knowledge of Allah and by His
              will. Therefore, there should certainly be causes
              behind it. Since Allah has set these images before us,
              there must be something to be seen in them and
              thought about. From the moment we wake up, we
              give thanks to Allah for having given us another day
              in this world to earn our reward with Him. Now,
              we have started a journey in which we can earn
              these rewards. Being aware of this, we think
              about the verse of Allah: "We made the day
              for earning a living." (Surat an-Naba': 11).
              In accordance with this verse, we make
              plans on how to spend the day in doing
              deeds that are useful to other people and
              with which Allah will be pleased.
                   When we reach our car or any other
              vehicle with these plans in mind, we again
              give thanks to Allah. No matter how far the
              destination, we have the means to get there.
              As a convenience, Allah has created many
              vehicles for people to use in travel.    A person who thinks sees
              In particular, recent                    that it is Allah Who puts
                                                       technology at the service of
                                                       mankind.
