The Planet

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH – THE SOURCE OF MERCY – THE MOST MERCIFUL

THE PLANET ON WHICH WE LIVE AND ALL LIVINGS HAVE BEEN SPECIALLY DESIGNED

THE SUN AND THE PLANETS WHICH ORBIT IT ARE ALL IN A GALAXY KNOWN AS THE MILKY WAY. THERE ARE OTHER STARS AS WELL AS THE SUN IN THE MILKY WAY. THE NEAREST OF THESE TO US IS 4 TRILLION KILOMETERS (2.5 TRILLION MILES) AWAY. YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT DISTANCE IN THIS WAY: THE SPACE SHUTTLE, ONE OF THE FASTEST-MOVING VEHICLES EVER MADE, CAN TRAVEL AT A MAXIMUM SPEED OF 28,500 KM/HOUR. WERE YOU TO TRAVEL TO THE NEAREST STAR AT THAT SPEED, THE JOURNEY WOULD TAKE 5,760 YEARS. BEARING IN MIND THAT THERE ARE 250 BILLION STARS IN OUR GALAXY AND JUST HOW FAR AWAY THE NEAREST OF THESE IS, ONE CAN SEE HOW VAST OUR GALAXY REALLY IS. IF WE THEN CONSIDER THAT THERE ARE SOME 300 BILLION GALAXIES JUST LIKE OURS IN THE UNIVERSE, THE VASTNESS OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE BECOMES EVEN MORE APPARENT.

THE NUMBER OF PLANETS AND STARS IN THE UNIVERSE IS FAR GREATER THAN THAT OF ALL THE GRAINS OF SAND ON ALL THE BEACHES ON OUR EARTH. DESPITE THIS, HOWEVER, ONLY ONE PLANET POSSESSES THE NECESSARY ATTRIBUTES FOR LIFE: OUR EARTH.

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE CONCLUSION FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS A LITTLE ABOUT LIFE: THE PLANET ON WHICH WE LIVE, HUMAN BEINGS AND ALL OTHER LIVING THINGS HAVE BEEN SPECIALLY DESIGNED. THE FACT THAT THERE IS SUCH A DELICATE EQUILIBRIUM AMONG ALL THE CONDITIONS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT LIFE ON OUR PLANET IS ONE OF THE PROOFS OF THIS. THIS BECOMES IMMEDIATELY APPARENT WHEN WE EXAMINE THE OTHER PLANETS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.

ALLAH IS THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING AROUND US, VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE. THE HEAVENS AND EARTH, THE MAGNIFICENT EQUILIBRIUM IN THE UNIVERSE AND ITS DESIGN ARE ALL HIS. MATERIALISM ON THE OTHER HAND, WHICH DENIES THE FACT OF CREATION, LIVES ON AS A SUPERSTITIOUS BELIEF BEYOND THE BOUNDS OF SCIENCE. WITH THE BIG BANG THEORY EVEN THE MOST DYED-IN-THE-WOOL MATERIALISTS HAD TO ACCEPT THIS FACT, AND A GREAT MANY WELL-KNOWN SCIENTIFIC MAGAZINES HAVE TAKEN THIS AS THEIR COVER STORIES AND MADE IT KNOWN TO ALL OF HUMANITY. 

THE DELICATE BALANCES IN THE UNIVERSE, AND ALL THE ENTITIES IN IT, LIVING OR OTHERWISE, ARE ALL PROOFS OF ALLAH'S SUPERIOR ART OF CREATION. THE CONCLUSION ARRIVED AT BY MODERN SCIENCE IS NOTHING OTHER THAN A CORROBORATION OF A TRUTH REVEALED IN THE NOBLE QUR'AN 1,400 YEARS AGO. THAT TRUTH IS REVEALED THUS: 

"YOUR LORD IS ALLAH, WHO CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH IN SIX DAYS AND THEN SETTLED HIMSELF FIRMLY ON THE THRONE. HE COVERS THE DAY WITH THE NIGHT, EACH PURSUING THE OTHER URGENTLY; AND THE SUN AND MOON AND STARS ARE SUBSERVIENT TO HIS COMMAND. BOTH CREATION AND COMMAND BELONG TO HIM. BLESSED BE ALLAH, THE LORD OF ALL THE WORLDS." (THE NOBLE QUR'AN, 7: 54)

A NEW WORLD AWAITS YOU: INDEED - THE WORD OF ALLAH

WHAT YOU READ IN THE NOBLE QUR'AN IS THE WORD OF ALLAH, THE LORD OF THE WORLDS, WHICH HE HAS CONVEYED TO YOU IN A HUMAN LANGUAGE, ONLY BECAUSE OF HIS INFINITE MERCY AND CARE AND PROVIDENCE FOR YOU. THIS ACT OF DIVINE MERCY IS ENOUGH TO AWE AND OVERWHELM YOU AND INSPIRE YOU TO EVER GREATER HEIGHTS OF GRATITUDE, YEARNINGS AND ENDEAVOURS TO ENTER THE WORLD OF THE NOBLE QUR'AN.  THE MAJESTY OF THE NOBLE QUR'AN IS SO OVERPOWERING THAT,

IF WE HAD SENT DOWN THIS NOBLE QUR'AN UPON A MOUNTAIN, YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN IT HUMBLED, SPLIT ASUNDER OUT OF FEAR OF ALLAH. (THE NOBLE QUR'AN 59:21)

INDEED, NO TREASURE IS MORE VALUABLE AND PRECIOUS FOR YOU THAN THE NOBLE QUR'AN, AS ALLAH SAYS OF HIS GENEROSITY:

O MEN! THERE HAS COME TO YOU AN EXHORTATION FROM YOUR LORD, HEALING FOR WHAT IS IN THE HEARTS AND A GUIDANCE, AND A MERCY FOR BELIEVERS.(THE NOBLE QUR'AN 10:57)

SAY: IN (THIS) BOUNTY OF ALLAH AND IN HIS MERCY IN IT LET THEM REJOICE. IT IS BETTER THAN WHATEVER THEY AMASS. (THE NOBLE QUR'AN 10:58)
