النَّشْأَةُ الْآخِرَةُ
This verse invites us to contemplate nature to recognize Allah's power.
قُلۡ سِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَٱنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ بَدَأَ ٱلۡخَلۡقَۚ ثُمَّ ٱللَّهُ يُنشِئُ ٱلنَّشۡأَةَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ
Say, "Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. Then Allah will produce the final creation. Indeed Allah, over all things, is competent."
Quran, Al-Ankabut 29:20
Allah tells the Prophet to tell people to travel and observe creation. By seeing how Allah began creation, we understand that He is capable of everything. The next verse reminds us that He punishes and shows mercy, and that we will be returned to Him. Today, we can meditate on the nature around us. Whenever we see a plant grow or an animal born, we see Allah's power. This strengthens our trust in His promise of resurrection.
Take a minute to observe an element of nature (a plant, an insect) and say in your heart: "Allah is capable of everything."
