God’s greatness on one hand and his humility vis-à-vis other fellow beings which will be a driving force for him to contribute positively to the human society as a duty and not as a favour. How can one develop the feelings of greatness for God? Multiple verses in the Quran point out that there are signs in the universe for people to understand. God has set up material symbols to see the reflection of invisible realities in the mirror of visible signs. The sun and the moon give us a glimpse of God—the source of all light. The birds and the animals provide us with a picture of innocence; they are God’s representatives on our planet. The sky, in its vastness, gives us an idea of the might and greatness of God. The beauty of this world will remind him of God’s beauty; the greatness of the natural phenomena impresses on him the greatness of the One who created them. If a person opens his mind to the world’s wonders, taking in all that he sees in the universe, he will find the light of God shining in all that he beholds. He will come to know of the glory and greatness of God. o Listen to soul-nourishing articles while on the go. A great companion for study groups and collective reading exercises.
