All perfect praise is due to Allaah Who rose above the worlds inrank and essence; He overwhelmed His creation with His glory, might and power and commanded us to contemplate His versesand creation with our hearts and minds. His might andexaltedness confounds the hearts of those seeking His pleasure.Whenever they think they have reached the answer in theirquest to know about Him, His endless astonishing might makesthem give up and stop attempting to find the limit andboundaries of His might and glory.And when they attempt to give up, they are called to perseverein their search and ponder upon His attributes through the eyeof servitude; they are called to contemplate upon their owncreation to realize the extent and magnitude of His bounties, and to express gratitude for every bounty and glorify Him forevery one and for the number of times these bounties arerenewed. They are called to reflect on His Decrees and howthey result in distinguishing people between believers anddisbelievers, losers and winners, good people and evil people, and the appreciative and ungrateful.May Allaah exalt themention of Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, the master of the children of Aadam, who did not consider hislofty status something to brag or boast about, and may Allaahexalt the mention of his household and his Companions whobecame shining stars.
