are you there god? its me

this image reminds me prophet Mohammad(pbuh). it reminds me of the time when islam entered the world. it entered Arabia. what a beautiful time that must have been. to have been with the prophet, to have known him. to do anyhting to please him. subhanallah. sometimes when i have dreamless nights, i dream of arabia. a land i have never been to. a dry, arid land but having so much significance. i think of the prophet and what a complete man he was. he was so impressive that non muslims today are forced to admit his brilliance.
the sunset is a beautiful time to witness. allah has organised the world so systematically that your forced to follow his routine. my window opens into the garden and from there i can see the sea as well. i can see a tree with birds and i can the vast sky that allah has created. everything obeys allah. the trees sway by allahs command. at sunset, the birds start chirping, telling us to head back. the colours of the sky are like a canvas filled with paints. the way the yellow dissolves into deep orange and then red takes place everyday. everyday allah shows us that you belong to him like everything else. hence you must return to him. the animals are in total submission to him. they eat when he wills, they run and kill only when he wills. the way a caterpiller transforms into a beautiful butterfly is an example of his magnificance. when a lioness gives birth to her children and protects them from the lion is an example. if a mere lioness can be so loving, how much must he be loving us? the way a woman guards her stomach for nine months not knowing what kind of a child will enter this world is an example. the happiness at the sight of a newborn who never remembers this is an example. life. the life that exists below the ground, in the water is fascinating. allah has made so many kinds that the human race is still discovering them today. the plant life. the birds, the insects.everything belongs to him and him only. theres a very nice nasheed/song by adnan sami called aye khuda aye khuda, jis ne ki justuju, milgaya us ko tu.......everytime i listen to it, it always reminds of allhas beautiful creations. it reminds me that allah is so close to me that if i reach out i might feel him.i might touch him. and all i have to do is call out to him and he'll be there. i know he will listen and he will solve everything for me, like he always does.
