سُبْحَانَ اللهِ

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ As i sit on a chair in the backyard of my house, i look down. I look down at my feet and the sand on the ground. How there are thousands and thousands of sand particles just in my backyard. How much sand is the earth made up of? I feel humbled. I look up. Up at the sky. It's wide and it's blue and looks enchanting. What is beyond it that i can't see is even more enchanting, i know, and i feel humbled. A cloud slowly wafts across as i look. My mind wanders as to the science that goes behind its creation and its movement across the sky. I think of how it rains, how it snows, how sometimes it's just cloudy...and i feel humbled. The gathered clouds at the horizon part and i enjoy the sensation as the first rays fall on me. And i imagine the free vitamin my body was acquiring because of the ultraviolet rays that fell on my skin. I couldn't help but think of how the earth revolves around the sun, the seasons, the variation in the hours of daylight in places and that mesmerized and humbled me. The sun had brightened over the minutes which forced me to turn my face away from it. Then i think. I think of how quickly it seemed to go up and that got me thinking about the rotation of the earth and the night and the day. And i felt humbled. My eyes widen in wonder as i scan around quite as if i wanted to feel the exact moment when the earth moved. And i sit back defeated. Because the earth is too wide and the movement too gradual for me to feel it and i feel truly humbled. And suddenly, I'm firmly holding the arm rests of my chair as if I'm afraid i might fall through the sky. But i just feel sudden awareness of the force of gravity- the reason why my chair is stable and on the ground. What if the force was a bit less or more than it is? That thought too, humbles me. Then my attention is drawn to my breathing. And i'm humbled to my cores. How is it that our blood needs oxygen and oxygen is one of the gases readily available in the air? What if there were no other gases in the air apart from oxygen? How would it be? I feel so humbled i look down at my hands that I've put on my laps. Even then, i feel humbled, as i look at my hands, the skin, the hair on it, and i imagine the number of cells my body is made up of, how each cell is made, what it is made of...oxygen, carbon, nitrogen,hydrogen..and i cant go on because i realise we're made from numerous elements found on earth. And i force myself not to look at the ground; at the sand. I refuse to look up as i become aware of the chirping of birds i had been too deaf to hear. I refuse to look at the trees that had been rustling all the time. My head bowed in humility, i stare at my hands. And a giant tear falls on a finger. I refuse to think on how the tear was produced, and why it was meant to be...... How great we think Edison is for discovering electricity.. How great we think Isaac is for discovering newton.. How great we think man is for.discovering various elements of science.. Then how great is Allah for CREATING science? For creating all that there is in the heavens and the earth including you? Glorified is Allah!!Subhanallah! Allah is great!!AllahuAkbar! Powerful! Do share
