Think about this.
Everything begins with the of Allah
in our hearts,
with the glory and majesty of Allah in
our hearts.
The glory of and majesty of Allah in
our hearts ensures
that our hearts are then free from all
worry and stress and all
kinds of negativity.
And also that our
mind is then focused on pleasing Allah
And anything that does not please Allah
is something that we will avoid.
So who is Allah?
He is the 1 who created our earth,
which rotates on its axis at a 1000
miles per hour, 1600
kilometers per hour.
In addition to spinning on its axis, the
earth also revolves around the sun.
We are approximately
93,000,000
miles, a 150,000,000
kilometers
from the sun. And at that distance,
it takes us 1 year,
365 days to go around
once.
We are travelling on the earth's orbit
of 600,000,000
miles,
970,000,000
kilometers at a rate
of 66,000
miles per hour. It's a 107
1,000,000 kilometers per hour.
At this speed, you could get from San
Francisco to Washington DC in 3 minutes.
As they say on TV, please don't try
when this fast without serious adult supervision.
Our son is just 1 star among
several 100,000,000,000
others
in the Milky Way galaxy.
This is our immense island of stars, and
within it,
each star is itself moving.
Each star is itself moving.
In addition to the individual motion of the
stars within it, the entire galaxy
is split is spinning
like an enormous spin wheel.
Although the details of the galaxies
spin out
complicated,
stars at different distances,
move at different speeds,
we can focus on on the speed of
the sun around the centre of the Milky
Way Milky Way galaxy.
It takes our sun approximately
225,000,000
years to make the trip around the galaxy.
This is called a galactic year.
Since the sun and the earth first formed,
it is estimated that about 200
that 20,
not 200, that about 20
galactic years have passed. We have been around
the galaxy 2 20 times.
To complete this journey, the sun moves at
483,000
miles per hour.
792,000
kilometers
h. On the other hand, in all recorded
human history, we have barely moved around the
Milky Way. Allah
said about the reason to educate
ourselves
and told us how to do it. And
he said,
Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and
the earth, in the alternation of the day
and the night, there are signs for people
of reason, people of intelligence, people who reflect.
These people are those who remember Allah
while standing, sitting and lying on their sides
and reflect on the creation of the heavens
and the earth, and they pray, they may
go and they say, O Arab,
you have not created all of this without
purpose in vain.
Glory be to you. Protect us from the
torment of the fire.
The idea of educating
in general and science in particular
is to open our eyes to the greatness
and glory of our creator of Allah so
that we love him and appreciate what he
wishes us to do and do it with
joy and
to and to remember that 1 day we
will meet him and he will deal with
us
justly and give us what we deserve. We
ask Allah
in addition to that,
for his mercy.
Because if Allah
treats us with justice alone,
then we will not survive that because
we have no way in which we can
fulfill
what we owe to Allah
But we ask
Allah for his mercy. We say Allah give
us
with your mercy and forgive us whatever we
have
not fulfilled
of our,
of of what is made compulsory for us.
However, just just look around yourselves. Where I
am sitting here now,
I have 2
purple hydrangea bushes.
Now calling them purple hydrangea bushes
is a bit of a misnomer because
they're not just purple. That purple
flowers of different ages
have different colours. It's all purple, but different
shades of purple. And even that
individual
petal of the flower
has the shade varying from the edge going
to the center.
I'm also looking at beautiful
yellow and bright blood red
dillies,
which
are standing in front of me.
I'm looking at a little, tiny little,
Carolina Ren
female
who has made a nest,
you know, rather nested in my nesting box.
And she's alone. I'm wondering where her mate
is because they they mate for life
and she seems to be alone. So, you
know, where is her mate?
And,
without the mate and this nest is not
going to be doing
do a much good. Anyway,
so she's there and every
time she goes for a little flight, comes
back, and then she sits there on the
perch
and sings this beautiful tune,
which is which is so lovely.
Little bird
makes,
this wonderful tune and she's
quite loud. If you,
you you would have you probably will hear
some of her,
singing in this,
in this lecture while I'm talking.
Then I have
a whole family
of,
of orange finches of rose finches, not orange,
rose finches.
It started, what,
2 years ago, I think, or so or
3 years ago. It started with 1 pair.
That is the only 1 pair that I
used to see around
here. Now there are dozens of them.
So, obviously, they find this place,
conducive
and,
you know, they're raising the young.
So the whole lot of them,
you know, fighting over the food in the
the feeding,
feeding boxes.
I give them black,
oil sunflower seeds, which are high in protein,
high in fat. They love it
and they're fighting the the the males
have this,
wonderful
red,
head and,
chest.
The females are
just plain
gray brown,
rather drab,
But the males are,
are very colorful because they have this,
they have this, you know,
they have this lovely color.
Then I have,
what I do have? I have sparrows.
I have what I call old world sparrows.
Now they're called Old World Sparrows because they
came across
the Atlantic on the sailing ships that
the original settlers came from from Britain.
They also got to Britain from somewhere.
We know they are there in India,
so they would have got imagine these little
birds,
they're crossing oceans,
not by flying across them across the ocean
themselves, but by
getting onto ships.
Now obviously the bird getting out of the
ship is not planning to go to America.
The bird is getting out of the ship
because the ship has food, it is probably
has grain and so on, so the bird
is there and the next thing you know
the bird is America.
And then they get they get off the
ships, they,
they fly around here, they get,
and they breed successfully.
So I have those. Then I have a
whole bunch of
starlings.
It's interesting. I I was doing some little
bit of research on this. Now how did
Stalin get here? There was somebody who,
in in the beginning at, when,
the the British started settling,
in America,
Where somebody who decided to bring all the
birds in
Shakespeare's,
plays and his writings. All the birds that
Shakespeare mentioned, 1 of them is starlings. So
he brought some starlings and,
and left them here.
They're highly successful. They breed like nothing
on earth.
And,
like any
introduced
species, they're also very harmful because they this
this the starling result in
in 1,000,000,000 of dollars worth of crop loss
and and all kinds of stuff. So, you
know, but
that's 1 side. But but they look at
they look lovely. They sing beautifully. They're, you
know, amazing. Then I have on the ground
a chipmunk,
which looks like 1 of our Indian squirrels,
but very small,
who's also a seed eater. So he what
he does and this is how the whole
system works. We have the feeders hanging from
the top.
The squirrel so squirrels and chipmunks can't get
up there. But the birds who feed on
the feeders, they are very wasteful feeders. So
they they eat 1 seed. They drop,
you know, 2 or 3 seeds on the
ground.
So wasteful in that sense, but that is
how the ground feeders, which are chipmunks, which
are squirrels, which are,
doves. We have a a whole bunch of
morning doves here.
I at any time, I can see about
maybe 7 or 8 of them,
who are who eat off the
off the ground under the fetus.
The chipmunk just now is filling his cheeks
with,
and and he's got 2 lumps on his
either side of his face.
Filling his see his cheeks with the seed.
Then he will run, carry them down into
into their burrows,
and and leave them there. And then through
the winter, they survive on that. Finally,
I have in before me now, this year
particularly,
the robins, the,
American robin
have done very well with their broods.
So for the first time, usually I would
see,
in through the summer, spring and summer, I
would see maybe 1 or 2
1 or 2,
juveniles, you know, chicks. But this time I
have I'm seeing about maybe maybe 12 or
or more.
And, just yesterday I discovered a ramen nest,
which is,
sitting on top of a post,
which has,
2 tiny,
babies in it, and it has,
1
bright blue egg.
And this morning I saw the mother sitting
there on this egg,
trying to hatch it.
You know, I wish them all the best.
They're wonderful, wonderful birds.
Amazing,
birds singing
and praising Allah all the time.
They're the first birds to start their zikr
in the morning and they're last that I
hear,
in the night before before it becomes completely
dark.
Now the reason I'm mentioning all this is
all of these are the signs of Allah
So on the 1 hand you have all
these huge things at a galactic level,
galaxies and suns and so on,
stupendous sizes,
spinning at stupendous speeds,
traveling and traversing the stupendous distances.
On the other hand, you have these wonderful
beautiful things which are in our
in our midst and in front of us
on a daily basis. We ask Allah
to fill our hearts with His glory and
majesty
and to
love for himself and Nabi salawasullam.
