Contemplation

All perfect praise is due to Allaah Who rose above the worlds in
rank and essence ; He overwhelmed His creation with His glory,
might and power and commanded us to contemplate His verses
and creation with our hearts and minds. His might and
exaltedness confounds the hearts of those seeking His pleasure.
Whenever they think they have reached the answer in their
quest to know about Him, His endless astonishing might makes
them give up and stop attempting to find the limit and
boundaries of His might and glory.
And when they attempt to give up, they are called to persevere
in their search and ponder upon His attributes through the eye
of servitude; they are called to contemplate upon their own
creation to realize the extent and magnitude of His bounties,
and to express gratitude for every bounty and glorify Him for
every one and for the number of times these bounties are
renewed. They are called to reflect on His Decrees and how
they result in distinguishing people between believers and
disbelievers, losers and winners, good people and evil people,
and the appreciative and ungrateful.May Allaah exalt the
mention of Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam,
the master of the children of Aadam, who did not consider his
lofty status something to brag or boast about, and may Allaah
exalt the mention of his household and his Companions who
became shining stars.
