The moon's really gorgeous tonight. It's shining so brightly. It gives a flicker of hope to its audience. God's creations are always flawless, just like the moon in the sky.
ART THOU NOT aware that before God prostrate themselves all [things and beings] that are in the heavens and all that are on earth [21] the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the beasts? And many human beings [submit to God consciously], [22] whereas many [others, having defied Him,] will inevitably have to suffer [in the life to come]; [23] and he whom God shall scorn [on Resur rection Day] will have none who could bestow honour on him: for, verily, God does what He wills. [Al-hajj: 22:18]
Even the sun, moon, stars, mountains, trees, and all His other creations prostrate (sujud) to Him. So why is it so difficult for us, human beings, who are nothing compared to these other creations of God, prostrate to Him at times? We get too caught up with our lives that we totally forget that we are merely God's servants and the life we're given is for lease only. Temporary. We may be healthy today, but for all we know, we might be six feet under the next day. Only God knows what's in store for us.
