64 DEEP THINKING

While Strolling In the Garden…
What Beauties Seen in Nature Make One Think

He who believes in Allah praises Him for the beauties he sees in
nature. He is aware that Allah has created all existing beauty. He knows
that all these beauties belong to Allah and they are manifestations of His
attribute of jamal – beauty.
While walking in nature, one encounters more beauty. From a single
straw to the yellow daisy, from birds to ants, everything is full of details,
which need reflection. As people reflect upon these, they come to under-
stand the power and might of Allah.
Butterflies, for example, are very aesthetically pleasing creatures. With
the symmetry and design of their lace-like wings – which are extremely
precise as if drawn by hand – their harmonious, phosphorescent colors,
butterflies are evidence of Allah's unequalled art and superior power of
creation.
Similarly, innumerable plant and tree varieties on earth are among the
beauties Allah creates. Flowers, all in different colors and trees of different
forms, have been created, and among their purposes, is that they give great
pleasure to people.
One who has faith thinks about how flowers such as the rose, violet,
daisy, hyacinth, carnation, orchid and others have such smooth surfaces,
and how they come out of their seed completely flat without any puckers
as if ironed.

Flowers developing from their buds
without being puckered at all as if
ironed.
