God says "And a sign for them is the dead land.
We give it life and we bring forth from it grains
So that they eat thereof." (Quran 36:33)
We are living on this planet busy with our work,school,college and other things of life, never to spare a second even to look around us and see the dynamic creation of the earth.For ages the two wonders of life and death have intrigued human beings to an extent where history gives witness to the amount of philosphies emerged on this issue of life and death, number of books written, movies made and so on. And still we havent quite gotten bored of this mysterious certainty.The most exciting part of any fiction book, or movie would be when a dead person were to be given life again and would relate to people his adventures of this journey of his.
If we were to notice a Divine Power shows us this miracle every seasonal cycle. Atleast once a year we witness the death of the earth and come spring the dead is brought to life again.
Allah says " We shall show them miraculous signs in the horizons and in themselves until it becomes clear to them that this is the truth"
Is it not a big enough miracle that this earth we walk on is completely barren in the cold autumn/winter months. The lush green trees, the manifestation of the living earth, are rendered lifeless and barren in these seasons.Just like a dead human being refuses to breath, feel, talk, walk ; the barren earth refuses to turn green, feed the trees on it or even produce the provision for the living.
And suddenly as the cold packs up, spring is around the corner, Allah The Ever Living One , bestows on it life. Is it a coincedence that our Lord made everything around us and even us govenrd by the laws of life and death and He Most High is way above these limitations.It is as if to show that the Creator gave the creation its beginning and will give it its end but who can do that to the Creator. As the Messenger Mohammad (peace be upon him ) said when asked about the beginning of Creation " when there was nothing there was Allah and His throne was on water and He made the heavens and the earth. He commanded the Pen to write down everything that was to happen in the universe tillt he end "
This wonderous creation of Allah is brought back to life according to the system He has decreed. But this transition is a very subtle but calculated one. Every snow flake that melts ,every
