Do we know ourselves?
Until now we know that the humans are the most intelligent
creatures on the Earth. Man existence on
the earth is limited for short period compared to other lives and the earth
age. Since his existence man used the
resources of this planet to build and reshape the earth, however in an only
limited way again. To answer the above
question we need to ask and answer many other issues. On the top is how much we have of the knowledge
of things and ourselves. Simply we know
very little from the whole knowledge of things including ourselves. Despite the amount of the knowledge in all aspects
of science we are still on the surface of the facts. The most important fact for us is
ourselves? People live, struggle, work,
get older, have children, and so on until they die. Is that all and the life is just that?! If so it is not compatible with the complexity
of its nature and balance!? Who you
are? Is it just flesh and bones and
other body things or there is another connection more important than the body?! Yes; soul?
How much do you know about souls?!
Nothing at all!
The most mysterious thing in this life for the mankind is
themselves! To know the answers you will
find them in the Holy Quran. In it you
will find yourself and the aim of your existence and what happen to you after
death. Read it you will not loss
anything so as may Allah guide you to the straight path.
The Meteorites and the end of life
The meteorites are small cold planetoids objects thousands
of them travelling the space closer to the Earth. Their sizes are variable between less than a
meter to thousands of meters as big as large mountains. The meteorites move from right to the north
like the moon around the Earth because the Earth is a hot planet. There
are many larger objects travel the space and come closer to Earth on regular
intervals. Many times over the history
in the past the Earth was hit by very large objects and at least to the present
knowledge there was one time it caused the vanishing of life on the Earth for
many years.
Every single day there is at least an estimate of 40,000
tons of dust and stones of these meteorites fall on the Earth. Most of these objects contain iron and some
other minerals. In fact this is very
interesting point about the descent of the Iron from the sky. The scientist believe today that the Iron was
initially formed outside the solar system as the atom of iron to be formed
required an energy equal to four times the total energy of the solar system as
a whole! The scientists consider that
the iron is a mysterious metal that have come from outside the solar
system. The descent of the iron was
mentioned in the Holy Quran 1400 years ago:
We sent down Iron, in which is (material for) mighty war, as well as
many benefits for mankind, that Allah may test who it is that will help,
Unseen, Him and His messengers: For Allah is Full of Strength, Exalted in Might
(and able to enforce His Will) The Holy Quran: 57:26. It is interesting to note that the number of
the Sura (chapter) in the Holy Quran is 57 which is the atomic weight for the
iron while the number of the versus (the iyat) is 26 which is the atomic number
of the iron. The chapter 57 in the Holy
Quran called (Al Hadied) or the iron!
The Holy Quran mentioned the meteorites as (Kisafan) which
means pieces in chapter 34 versus 19: See they not what is before them and
behind them, of the sky and the earth? If We wished, We could cause the earth
to swallow them up, or cause a piece from the sky to fall upon them. Verily in
this is a Sign for every devotee that turns to Allah (in repentance). The
latest meteorite was the one which fall on the Ural region in Russia on Friday
15 February 2013 which was around 300 tons weight and equal to about 30 nuclear
weapon of the one used by the USA against Hiroshima! If this meteorite was directly hit the Earth
it would have caused the disappearance of the life on earth for thousands of
years or even forever. However it was
exploded for long distance before it reaches the earth! In future the only one who knows what will
happen is Allah almighty and He knows how is going to be the end of the
earth.
If you want to know more about what the Holy Quran says
about the end of the world and the fate of the earth, the moon, the mountains,
the oceans, the stars and the mankind then reads the Holy Quran and you will
see what Allah says about these and more than this and beyond that.
Are we living alone in this universe?!
The answer definitely is no! It is mentioned in the Holy Quran that we
are not alone. In the second versus of
chapter one of the Holy Quran (Surat Alhamd) after starting by the Name of
Allah most Gracious most Merciful the verses says; Praise be to Allah, the
Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!
The worlds in Arabic Alalameen which means the world in which there are
living been or life of intelligent creatures.
The term world explained as the mankind, the Jins and the Angles,
however, the wider meaning is more accurate than this. This means that there is another world that
we unable to see at least now in which there are living and inelegant world.
The word Earth in English is taken from the Arabic word
(Arth) ارض which means the planet which
is suitable for life or the life is exist in it. The Earth or (Al Arth) was mentioned 425
times in the Holy Quran! The Holy Quran
is the on-going miracle of Islam until the Day of Judgment. It contains so many scientific meaning and
secrets some of them have not been discovered yet! It tells about the past before the existence,
the present and the past beyond the Day of Judgment. It tells about the worlds, the positions of
the stars, the creation of the Earth and how it became suitable for life and
many other issues from the unseen to the part of atom up to the largest things
in these worlds. There are many books
written about the miracles of the Holy Quran including its scientific facts
which only discovered recently such as the human embryology and formation. One of the most important miracles is the numbers
of the words mentioned in the Holy Quran such as the Moon (Alqamar) mentioned
26 times, the Sun mentioned 30 times, the mountains 30 times, while the Earth
mentioned 425 times! The question here
is why Allah mentioned the word Earth 425 times?! This is not without meaning but we do not
know exactly what? One possibility is
that there are 425 Earth exist in this universe or universes! Whether or not all these earths got lives or
some of them again the full knowledge is with Allah. On the other hand if we add the numbers of
the 4+2+5 will give us total of 11. If
we take of the outcome of subtracting 26 (the number the moon mentioned) from
30 (the number sun mentioned) which is 30 – 26 = 4; then we will have the
number 7. Interestingly in another verse
in the Holy Quran Allah mentioned that He created seven heavens and seven
earths; (اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ
مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ
كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا) (Allah is He Who created
seven Firmaments and of the earth a similar number. Through the midst of them
(all) descends His Command: that ye may know that Allah has power over all
things, and that Allah comprehends, all things in (His) Knowledge.) Holy Quran
12:65
The
question therefore is do we have another 6 earths similar exactly to our own
one? The exact answer is only with Allah
but His Majesty our Lord ordered us to seek knowledge and to think about the universes
as part of our worship and respect to Allah.
In fact everything exist witness on His greatness including what we
produce. Our productions like the spacecraft,
the cars, the IT, the airplanes, the buildings, the everything had physical and
other properties produced by God (Allah) and we are only putting these
together. Even our putting them is by
the brain and hands that Allah gave us; the best computer and the best tool!
Furthermore,
the Holy Quran telling us that there are living creatures walking like us
somewhere in the Heaven. It is mentioned
as (Dabah) in Arabic which means creatures that walk on planet; as in this
versus 29:22 (And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the
earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through them: and He has
power to gather them together when He wills.)
Islam is
your salvation in this life and in the hereafter so hurry to embrace Islam
before you regret it when you have no second chance. Read the Holy Quran which is the words of
Allah and the most positive book until The Day of Judgment.
