11Picture: a plant deprived of the sun light and a plant kept in sun lightWe have to do various types of work to lead our life. We need
strength for doing any job. Where from do we get this strength?
Yes, we get this from water and heat. We get strength from
many other sources too. The basic source of strength is the sun,
the creation of Allah. Without the heat and light of the sun
nothing survives and no living being can get strength.
Let us try to know this fact by doing an experiment in our
house. Let us keep a plant covered under a pot. After few days
we shall find on uncovering the pot that the plant has been
whitish and weak. This has happened for the plant's not getting
light. One day the plant will die if we continue to keep the plant
covered for a longer time. Man, animals, birds, trees, green
creepers etc. cannot live without sun-light. Allah rears all these
by the sunlight. Light, air, soil, water all these are the gifts of
Allah. He provides food for each and every animal according to
the need. He is the Giver of life to all the living beings. All of us
are alive by His grace. He is the Rearer of the vast world.
Allah has crated in the vast sky these innumerable galaxies the
stars, the moon, the sun, planets, satellites, and on the surface,
animals birds, the insects, the worms, the light and wind, the
soil, hills and mountains, the bushes, the forests and the trees.
