*-- God's Majestic Grandeur and Captivating Artistry -- *

[navy]
Introduction:

The immaculate beauty, perfection in grace, magnificence in design, statuesqueness of craft, sublimity of genesis and majestic allure of all nascency of God's divine creative power throughout the depths and bounds of the universe - defies all human imagination.

God's divine artistry transcends and eclipses with the kind of thunder and roaring impeccable might - that simply can not be described in words.[/navy]

[maroon]As Human beings we fail to comprehend with the fact that throughout our creation from the depths of the ocean beds, to the vastness of the terrains, to the infinite and unconceivable limits of the entire universe - Allah (swt) has scattered through for us signs that portray his creative dynamism and efficacy of immaculate design.

These are signs that make us ponder and contemp
late the enormity of God's splendor yet at the same time fails us to comprehend with his perfection - because: [/maroon] [i]"Our inability to comprehend with God's infinite and captivating mastery - [b]IS[/b] our comprehension of God, The Almighty, The lord of the heavens and the earth! "[/i]

[navy] God Almighty re-assures us in the glorious Quran: [/navy]

[i][green] " And verily in the heaven we have set mansions of the stars, and we have [b]beautified[/b] it for the beholders"[/green][/i] [ Qura'n 15:16 ]


The fact that God refers to the "Beholders" - portrays how it is only people of thought and reason who with open hearts embrace the glory and majestic artistry of God and praise him with all their hearts and souls for the sheer blessing of the beauty, brilliance, effulgence, resplendence, dazzle and grandeur of his artistry which truly is a "Gift" on its own because it gives us a small fraction of the "taste" and "feel" of "Heaven" right here on earth, the oceans and the skies - in All of God's creation! [/navy]




[maroon]No where throughout the existence of mankind, has man ever been able to derive the kind of inspiration, profound fascination and utmost amazement than by laying eyes on the thundering beauty, immaculate grace, unsurpassed splendor, heavenly perfection, unimaginable orchestration and indescribable glory of the UNIVERSE that Allah (swt) created as a shining beacon and a tremendous testament to his utmost power, nobility, oneness, omniscience and perfection!

Such images of the universe forces us to contemplate the greatness of God's artistry in all its wonderous color and awe inspiring totality![/navy]

[green][i]" Verily in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of night and day - there are indeed signs for men of understanding; Men who remember Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and contemplate the creation of the heavens and the earth (with the thought) "Our Lord! Not for nothing have You created (all) this. Glory to You! Give us salvation from the suffering of the Fire."[/i][/green]-- Al-Qura'n [3:190-191]




















"We will show them our proofs in the horizons, and within themselves,
until they realize that this is the truth. Is your Lord

not sufficient as a witness of all things?"[/green][/i]-- Al-Quran [41:53]

[i][green] "And among His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the living creatures that He has scattered through both of them..." -- Al-Quran [42:29][/green][/i]


[green][i]"And He has subjected to you (man), from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth: behold, in that are signs indeed for those who reflect" [/i][/green] -- Al-Quran [45:13]





Final words:

Let us pray that as human beings and as Muslims who submit to the will of their creator - our eyes never go astray- for a sight for sore eyes is truly indeed in God's artistry alone.

No amount of allurement, exquisiteness, pulchritude, comeliness and attraction - can compare to that.

[navy] May Allah (swt) enable us to live our lives under the serenity of his mercy, tranquility of inner peace by utter devotion, gratification through his forgiveness, contentment through his guidance and ultimately prosperity and success both in this life and the hereafter through his beneficence!
