MAGNIFICENCE AND PERFECTION OF GLORIOUS ARTIFICER IN ARTS
Chapter 13
A PORTION OF COMPARISONS
AMONGST SOME TERRESTIAL EXISTENTS
A: The Seed, Sperm and Its Development in Living and
Non-Living Creatures
Preface: You have observed to the necessary extent, with the help of Almighty God, a portion of
the Artificer's Magnificence and Perfection in the arts, and we are certain that you have
perceived therefrom, the Greatness and Glory of His Almighty such that is worthy for
a chaste hearted believer. We also believe that through this short path, you have
acquired the Insight into Him Almighty with all purity and full spirituality.
In reality the acquisition of this great wealth is recently the means for Nearness
to His Almighty Generous and Gracious God, for this blessed Nation and the today's
and future generations.
Hence, it would be appropriate, if you give a thought to a portion of kinds of seeds
and their developments, on land. From this superb and excellent market of goods and
stuffs you may find the best possible acquaintance with Him Almighty Great and Omnipotent.
You should not forget however, that these Epistles have just opened the doors of
Insight into Almighty God (or the final purpose of worship without restrictions and
conditions and all kinds of exhausting efforts ), according to the capacity of today's
people.
If one really wants to know how far his Nucleus of Monotheism or Faith Luminosity has
developed and enlightened, then he should read these Epistles regularly as a duty
until matters similar to the topics under each title, will drip and similar truths
flow from his own inside.
Thereby the inner state and spiritual powers are verily going towards ascension.
The requirement for stabilizing this situation, whose final result and consequence is
theism, is again the perseverance in this study and the practice of piety in deeds.
It means that when the Presence of Almighty God has overcome you both hidden and exposed,
and that you controlled your ego only for the sake of His happiness and you even do not
allow the satanic temptation, then you are truly the owner of a sound heart. The rescue
for yourself and the salvation for the society, is guaranteed through these holy people
in this world and in the next. Almighty God says:
"Except him who comes to God with a firm heart free from other-than-God."
1. Have you reflected? The secrets of the verse:
Meaning,
"What do you observe in variety of Glorious God's creatures coming into existence,
in terms of various differences and manners of development and reproduction and so forth."
As a matter of fact, the truths contained in this auspicious verse are an ocean of secrets.
If you deeply contemplate the generations of living or non-living creatures, with full
astonishment you will find out that, for example, among human beings there is a general
distinction of appearance and voice between men and women. There are distinguishable
faces with different complexions, and excessive intelligence at the level of individuals,
generations, and nations.
This and thousands of other examples are conveying to us how
Great Being He is, possessing Wisdom, and how Most Strong (Qawee Mutlaq), All-Knowing
('Aleem), and Wise (Hakeem) He is, The Owner of all Greatness.
2. Have you reflected? The sperms take various periods in the body of living creatures
to be developed. For example, it takes five to six months in sheep, nine to ten months in
human beings and cows, and a year in camels and horses, and so forth. There are more and
less prescribed periods than the above mentioned, for the living and non-living creatures
to come into existence. If we ponder, we will draw the conclusion that, since sheep are
for human life's improvement, they give birth twice a year.
3. Have you reflected? It is not a requirement for Him Almighty to place the sperm
in a hidden and specific amnion. Rather contrarily, He Almighty is organizing those
processes of birth of creatures inside a box, called the various eggs of animals, trees,
and plants. Such are the birds' eggs and of most terrestrial and marine creatures and so on.
4. Have you reflected? The process of egg's development towards giving birth takes various
periods. In some of them, it takes a week, in some two weeks, in some others three to
four weeks and less or more. Afterwards, the corresponding creature steps into existence.
5. Have you reflected? The circumstances and development causes of completing the
different periods for the fetus in various eggs depend on particular qualities and
secrets. For example, among the birds the instinctive temperature of female or male
of that particular species, or the same heat artificially supplied.
How Powerful the Great ('Azeem), and the Wise (Hakeem) Supreme (Kibriyaa), is Glorious He.
6. Have you reflected? Water is the prime growth means for plants, trees and the like.
The umbilical cord is a similitude for water in the mother's womb; and the growth tool
for ourselves and other living creatures after birth is the mouth. Likewise, there are
numerous other examples, you would find them, if you ponder.
Verily! He Almighty is the All-seeing Hearer (Sama' ul-Baseer), and the Absolutely Omnipotent
Enliver (Haei ul-Qadeer Mutlaq).
7. Have you reflected? The nourishing mouth in fruits and vegetables is that small
appendage called the little tail of raisins, plums, apricots, melons, watermelons, and
pumpkins. Likewise, in hundreds of other examples, that outcoming tail is doing this job.
Namely, Almighty Lord is showing to us 'it is possible and easy for Our Excellency to
evolve anything without that thing chewing with teeth and swallowing,' as just explained.
Without doubt, the Generous Sublime One (Jaleel ul-Kareem), and the Alone Most Merciful
(Fard ur-Raheem) is Glorious He.
8. Have you reflected? The feeding manner of newborns among mammals is the familiarization
of children with the way of milk sucking from the breast. Some birds pick up the nutrition
from the mother's beak, such as the children of sparrows. Pigeons and ringdoves eat their
mother's chewed food, which comes out of her mouth.
Who taught the variety of feeding manners to the newborn ones? This is worth deep pondering.
How Praiseworthy Supporter (Walee ul-Hameed), and the Noble Creator (Khaaliq ul-Majeed) is He, Glorified and Exalted be He.
9. Have you reflected? The young of some birds, such as chickens and partridges,
gather by the call of their mother and pick the nutrition from the ground to their
beaks and eat them. There are hundreds of other differences showing to us that it
is possible to cherish and develop the newborns, in whatever way He Almighty wills,
and there is no difficulty for His Glorious Being.
In summary, He Almighty is the Being Who has freely granted to each creature, up to
the necessary extent, in that creature's initial constitution, all the first necessities
of life, and He has taught them the way of utilization.
10. Have you reflected? The existence of seeds in the moist earth and in the
appropriate season is similar to the arrival of sperms to the mother's womb in the
suitable time. With the difference that the animate female's womb can grow and develop
only the sperm of their own males, but the earth can grow and develop all kinds of
grains and trees, provided their seeds are put in the required order.
" And this is not of any difficulty for His Omnipotent Being."
11. Have you reflected? There is no apparent motion seen in the fecundation process
of male and female among the plants and grains. All these processes are organized
within the egg and seed of plants and grains such as wheat, paddy, pea, sesame, melon,
watermelon, and hundreds of other examples. This is showing to us that there is sufficient
power in possession of Great God, for making the fecundation without the gathering of male
and female. He Almighty can evolve the maturing and growth stages for trees, fruits, and
whatever else that He Almighty may wish, in any manner, as you can observe it in the
seeds of plants and grains.
How Beneficent and Merciful (Rahmaan er-Raheem) is All-Knowing ('Aleem) and Wise (Hakeem) God.
12. Have you reflected? Mines also grow in the stones' womb and the corresponding
seed initially exists therein. That particular seed, by the command of Almighty God,
grows over centuries and becomes developed. After thousands of years, like unto a tree,
it evolves to a mine of copper, iron, gold, silver, tin, and dozens of other similar
types. Therefrom man makes use at appropriate occasions.
How Great ('Azeem) and Unique is Glorious God.
13. Have you reflected? In the mentioned process as well, Almighty God is showing
to us that the growth and development of things depend on Our Holiness. There are no
requirements such as, the development of child in the female's womb through the blood
circulation of capillaries and food supply to the amnion, or the seeds of trees and
grains to reach the humid soil and other necessary means, and no similar dependencies
such as, the life of other living creatures in the egg and so forth. Subhanallah ta
.
Translation:
14. Have you reflected? The more astonishing case is the growth and development of
non-living mines or the formation of ruby, emerald and so forth within the stones,
which is performed in absence of "arteries," "capillaries," and the "absorption of
nutrients." The rather more important case is the existence of oily fuels used for
burning, such as gasoline, petroleum and so forth, in the earth's womb as how they
are created, how they are gathered together, and why they are not absorbed through
the soil and sands of the earth.
B: Comparison of some other creatures on land
Preface: Now, you are informed briefly about the manner of growth and development of
preliminary nuclei of creation called seed in living and non-living creatures.
You have observed the comparison of stages of birth, according to His Almighty's
Great Creative Divine Will, along with a portion of His Almighty's perfect and
full Power. Hence, it will be good to focus attention on the comparison of other
creatures, or on the states of man himself. It must be mentioned that where you ponder
on simple matters which we put as symbols to your analysis, the work does not reach the
end, but thereby, we only motivate by this means the excellent human searching powers in
the reader and audiences. These gates are signs to the highways guiding towards
fortifying faith in His Glorious Great Praiseworthy Creator. way of organizing
the spiritual powers is, indeed, guaranteeing the charging of the battery of faith in
human beings. It brings about the shortest distance of communication of the servant to
Him Almighty through this unconditional worship. It would not be exaggeration, if I
say that this is the top of the obediences, and it fulfills the wish of the servant
for the acquisition of nearness to Him Almighty through the least of distances. For
the generous Qur'an has admired about it in more than 2500 of its verses, and it has
given explanations according to the perception of that time's people and to the necessary
extent for those of the future.
Hereby, with the special help and assistance of Almighty Evolver (Baaree), we will take
your hand, and by cleaning the dusts of your eyes, we will draw your attention to the
commonplace truths. Hopefully you, with your high intelligence and faith, may explore
therefrom the better and more than what is expected, and by this means you may, with
the Grace of Almighty God, appreciably strengthen your Nucleus of Monotheism. You
may acquire this by deeply studying these open secrets, which are put under your scrutiny.
1. Have you reflected? The activities and efforts of living creatures for their
daily bread and acquisition of nutrients, and contrarily, the stability and motionless
state of trees and plants and the like which are even more efficient in gathering their
necessary nutrients and productive stuffs. The study of this truth is sufficient to find
out the great secret about the providence and care of the Almighty Eternal Cherisher.
This is clearly showing and proving to us that He Almighty can give provision to anything
and can bring about its growth and development, just in any manner and fashion that He may
wish. Namely, He Almighty has set up the living creatures and so forth in activities and
efforts; the trees, plants, mines and the rest in stability. He Almighty has granted to
each of them growth, development, and the necessary fortunes, in either stable or motional
state.
2. Have you reflected? It is only man who is required to cultivate and to make efforts,
and he has to struggle for preparing and caring for his various provisions and needs. So
that he may eat, clothe himself, and strengthen himself against the heat and coldness.
All other living creatures on land and in the ocean, birds, trees, and plants are protected
against the coldness and heat just by the dress that they have on. They acquire the
necessary energy from the raw and disorganized nutrients, and thereby with the Grace
and Generosity of His Almighty, they live up.
How Generous (Kareem) is Glorious God.
3. Have you reflected? Man acquires energy for years from the various kinds of foods
and he is strengthened. When he gets old, however, why do not the same or better nutrients
supply him with energy and strength? In order for man to understand that these things are
tools and means, the Actual Fortifier and Strengthener is the Great and Generous God.
Since He Almighty has stopped his physical growth, any kind of food can not grant him
the strength and joy such as during the youth, except surviving.
How Exalted Able (Qaadir) and Knower of secrecy is Glorious He.
4. Have you reflected? Why is man complaining about poor digestion of certain foods
during a disease, whereas before he was being fortified and grown through those foods
for a period of years. In reality it is the Devil who is reasoning fallaciously in
order to make the person forget the real Causer of these troubles and diseases.
Truly, the Responsive All-Embracing (Mojeeb ul-Waasa') and the Great Exalter
('Azeem ur-Raafa') is Glorious He.
5. Have you reflected? In order to clarify this issue man should ask himself, why
the foods which were the means of strength and life to him for whole his life, have
turned to be the contrary now. His Almighty's Powerful Hand is playing a role in it,
there is wisdom behind it.
How Beneficent and Merciful (Rahmaan er-Raheem) is the All-Knowing ('Aleem) and Wise (Hakeem) God.
6. Have you reflected? What secrets are being revealed from the occurrence of
diseases, such as, Almighty God is showing to man, O! My servant! It was Us Who were
keeping your health and soundness for years through a variety of foods. These are still
your past and assigned foods from which you were getting your strength. Now, however,
that Our Holiness have willed, you are made sick. In this as well, there are many secrets.
For example, during the sickness the person might become humble, and repent to Almighty God.
Also, something would be spent and paid to this and that person, under the name of
treatment, and likewise many other secrets.
Without doubt that the Generous Constrictor (Qaabith ul-Kareem) and the Alone Most Merciful
(Fard ur-Raheem) is Glorious He.
7. Have you reflected? During the pregnancy, women generally are not only bringing
about for nine months a child of around three to four kilograms or more weight, but
they themselves also grow more fat and become stronger. Hence, we should understand
that the stomach and the digestive organs, and the foods are still the same as before,
but how could this fatness and moreover the excess flesh being the child for nine
months be obtained?
8. Have you reflected? In case, women's digestive organs could obtain this four to
five kilograms excess flesh during the period of nine months out of foods, then why
could they not obtain it in non-pregnancy times?
Then, it is obvious that Almighty Omniscient ('Aleem) and Wise (Hakeem) God creates this
secret in this period. He grants excessive energy to the normal digestive organs so
that the mother should be strong during the sickness after childbirth and during
breast-feeding of the child, and that she may not be wasted.
Indeed, Almighty God is Active and Able to whatever He Almighty may intend and will.
9. Have you reflected? Horses, donkeys, and camels and other riding animals, are
actually tools for people to reach a location from another, without themselves walking.
By as soon as an eye or sometimes oral command, these animals obey, so that man may
understand that Almighty God gets the person where he wants to, without walking on the
ground.
Without doubt, the True Witness (Shaheed ul-Haq) and the Absolute Strong (Qawee Mutlaq) is
Exalted He.
10. Have you reflected? Why some of the birds fly in the air?
So that man should not assume that for each heavy object there is the requirement of
staying on the ground due to its weight. Hence, Almighty God is able to lift also a
good number of heavy living creatures into the air and to give them the ability of
flying with the appreciable speed.
Verily, the Self-Reliant Artificer (Samad us-Saana') and the Unique Exalter
(Waahid ur-Raafa') is He Almighty.
11. Have you reflected? It is the general case of plants and trees that if their
heads are cut off, still a new sprout or bud will appear from that cut area and they
will continue to live. On the contrary, however, it is the general case of animals for
their lives to cease once their heads are cut off.
How Great, the Wise is Exalted God.
12. Have you reflected? There are astonishing secrets and wisdoms in the comparative
situation of animals to die after their heads are cut off, and contrarily, the situation
of trees still to survive after their heads are cut off.
Hence, Almighty God is showing to us, that He Almighty can keep alive anything in state
of not having a head, if He Almighty wants to, contrary to animals' lives to cease in
case of not having a head.
How Expander Constrictor (Qaabith ul-Baaseth) and the Honorable Exalter (Raafa' ul-Maajid)
is Almighty Clear-Sighted God.
13. Have you reflected? Most trees have their roots deeply into the earth in various
ways and forms, and they gather their prescribed necessary foodstuffs. They will, at
required times, supply to the branches and sub-branches their corresponding necessities,
especially during the spring season.
How Reckoner Sublime One (Haseeb ul-Jaleel) is the Almighty Unique and Powerful God.
14. Have you reflected? Likewise, the plants and grains process their growth and
development to the necessary limit, with the quickest speed, out of the earth's outer
shell, as soon as they are cultivated. Namely, contrary to the trees, which are
gathering the nutrients in the ground during winter and supplying quickly to their
branches and fruits during the spring, grains and plants are acquiring the same
property out of the earth's surface.
How Omnipotent (Qaadir) Self-Subsisting (Qayyum) is Almighty Great ('Azeem), Wise (Hakeem) God.
15. Have you reflected? The process for acquisition of nutrients in trees and
plants has also the following distinctions:
First: The nutrients are supplied, in absence of "arteries" and fixed "capillaries,"
via the cells of the trunk to its branches, leaves, fruits and flowers.
Second: Contrary to natural laws, these nutrients are delivered from the bottom to the
top, by the pressure fixed by Him Almighty. Namely, water and the necessary nutrients
are delivered from the roots to the branches, without the "pumping process."
Third: The absorption of these necessary nutrients in trees, fruits, or plants does
not take place out of that little quantity of earth located around the roots. Rather
Great God has given a particular attraction power to their roots. Thereby they collect
the specified nutrients of that tree or fruit from fixed distances. Then, they distribute
them equally and justly in the required way, to their upper parts in the form of fruit,
leaf, trunk, branches, and so forth.
How Most High Great ('Allee ul-Kabeer) is the All-seeing Hearer (Sama' ul-Basseer) God.
16. Have you reflected? The same distinctions of feeding process, which exist in fruits,
grains, and more especially among marine life, are in hundreds of types.
What Great God, what Generous Able, and the Provider and Guidance of this entire hidden
and exposed, in variety, is He Almighty. Where ponder brings no more perception to the
mind and knowledge to the heart but perplexity and astonishment about the Perfection
of His Greatness.
How Aware Hearer (Sama' ul-Khabeer) is Almighty God.
17. Have you reflected? What is the wisdom behind separating the shells of some fruits
during the ripeness, and keeping the shells of some other fruits sticking with them until
the end, where the person is obliged in separating the shell.
Sure! In order for man to understand that the partial separation of some fruits' outer
shell from the crest, such as walnut and almonds; the separation of the fruit's flesh
from its seed such as apricots, and the separation of flesh from its shell such as
oranges and so forth, all have been done by His Almighty's Hand of Power, Perfection,
and Wisdom. Otherwise, all fruits would have been stuck with their shells. In summary,
any task and the process of any work is easy for His Almighty's Great and Forgiver Being.
No doubt, the Powerful Self-Subsisting (Qayyum ul-Moqtader) and the Manifest Honorable
(Maajid uz-Zaaher) is He Almighty.
