النَّظَرُ فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
This verse invites us to observe the universe to draw closer to Allah and prepare for the Hereafter.
أَوَلَمۡ يَنظُرُواْ فِي مَلَكُوتِ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ مِن شَيۡءٖ وَأَنۡ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ قَدِ ٱقۡتَرَبَ أَجَلُهُمۡۖ
Do they not look into the realm of the heavens and the earth and everything that Allah has created and [think] that perhaps their appointed time has come near?
Quran, Al-A'raf 7:185
The verse urges us to contemplate creation: the heavens, the earth, and all that Allah has made. This reflection reminds us of His power and wisdom. It also makes us think about our own end, which may be near. In our daily lives, we are often distracted. Taking a moment to observe nature, the sky, or a simple plant reconnects us to Allah. It helps us give meaning to our actions and remember what truly matters.
Today, take two minutes to observe the sky or an element of nature, and say in your heart: 'Allah is the Creator of all this.'
