countries of the world to see their natural beauty. The rich-
ness and depth of his own spirit would allow him to take
pleasure in the countless small sights that he is accus-
tomed to as he goes back and forth each day. This produ-
ces a great sense of delight in the depths of his being.
For example, Allah has created animals as a blessing
for human beings. Countless kinds of birds glide graceful-
ly through the air, their beautiful wings, bright colors, and
symmetrical feathers give pleasure to all of those who look
at them through the eyes of belief. The way a pretty little
squirrel uses its teeth, moves its paws, and flicks its tail
awakens a strong sense of compassion in each believer’s
heart. This is also the case when they see a cute little rab-
bit using its paws to eat a carrot, the designs on a zebra’s
body, the magnificence of a galloping horse, the beauty of
a gazelle, and the countless features of all animals. The
same applies to the bright greenness of a forest, the mag-
nificence of a waterfall, the sight of mountain peaks pierc-
ing the clouds, and the countless types of trees, flowers,
fruits and vegetables. Witnessing these manifestations of
His supreme knowledge and creative artistry, they thank
Him.
All believers have an unlimited capacity to take pleasure
in natural beauty, a pleasure that grows due to the deep-
ening of their spirit and belief. This is a pleasure that Allah
gives only to those who approach Him in sincerity; He
gives it only to believers in return for their ability to see
everything through the eyes of faith. Those who deny Allah
lose enjoyment of these beautiful things in this world and
