In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

There are many signs of God which make us wonder and reflect upon His creations. If we look at the sky and the visible galaxies, everything about it appears perfectly designed and set in orbit.

Recent news from NASA's well-known Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), covered an asteroid 99942 Apophis. Apophis measures around 270 meters (877 feet) across, and its mass is able to deliver more energy than 25,000 Hiroshima bombs (if it ever smashed into Earth).

Praise be to God. But for His Grace, we would have asteroids and galaxies colliding with each other. He is the One who perfectly aligned and placed each object in creation.


[Quran 21:33] And He is the One who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; each floating in its own orbit.

[Quran 22:65] Do you not see that GOD has committed in your service everything on earth? The ships run in the ocean by His command. He prevents the heavenly bodies from crashing onto the earth, except in accordance with His command. GOD is Most Kind towards the people, Most Merciful.

[Quran 31:29] Do you not realize that GOD merges the night into the day and merges the day into the night, and that He has committed the sun and the moon in your service, each running in its orbit for a specific life span, and that GOD is fully Cognizant of everything you do?

[Quran 55:5] The sun and the moon are perfectly calculated.

 
It is the immense mercy of God that He made the earth habitable for us, and we should not forget to appreciate this, God willing.


Peace.
