In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 40:64] GOD is the One who rendered the earth habitable for you, and the sky a formidable structure, and He designed you, and designed you well. He is the One who provides you with good provisions.* Such is GOD your Lord; Most Exalted is GOD, Lord of the universe.
[40:65] He is the Living; there is no god except He. You shall worship Him alone, devoting your religion absolutely to Him alone. Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe.
*40:64 See Footnotes 15:20, 20:54, 25:2, and 35:12-13.


God's design of the heavens and the earth is amazing. Scientists have spent billions of dollars searching for life elsewhere in the universe, only to find that earth alone both teems with life and is expressly designed for life. An amazing intelligence seems to be behind it all. What is that intelligence telling us? The answer is: worship God alone.

Each time we marvel at God's design and His proofs, let us appreciate our Lord who put it there for our benefit. May we take every opportunity to praise and worship Him. And in doing so, may we draw closer to Him.

Praise be to GOD, Lord of the universe.
