Those Things that Need to be Thought About 65

Other wonders Allah creates are the fragrances of these flowers. A
rose, for instance, has a strong and constant ever-changing smell. Even
with the latest technology, scientists cannot develop an exact match of the
smell of the rose. Laboratory research to imitate this smell has not yielded
satisfactory results. Smells produced based on the scent of the rose are
generally heavy and disturbing. However, the original scent of the rose
does not disturb.
Someone who has faith knows that each one of these is created for
him to praise Allah, to present him the art and knowledge of Allah in the
beauty He creates. For this reason, when someone sees this beauty while
strolling in the garden, he glorifies Allah, saying, "It is as Allah wills,
there is no strength but in Allah." (Surat al-Kahf: 39). He remembers
that Allah has put all this beauty at the service of mankind and that He will
give the believers incomparably excellent blessings in the Hereafter. And
because of this, his love for Allah increases ever more.

Have You Ever Thought about an Ant which
You Have Seen While Walking in a Garden?
Some people, in general, do not see any sense in thinking about the
living things they see in their surroundings. They do not imagine that those
living things they come across every day may have interesting features. For
a person who has faith, on the other hand, every living thing Allah
creates bears the traces of a
perfect creation. Ants, too, are
some of these creatures.
Someone who believes
does not turn a blind eye to the
ants he sees while wandering
in the garden. By seeing their
astonishing features, he wit-
nesses the perfect creation of
Allah.
