Last time I read a book on animals and the speed at which they run, I must have been between seven to nine years old and I was very much fascinated by all the speedy creatures' velocities.

The human athlete could attain 40 kilometres per hour.

The cheetah could attain, if memory serves, something like 113 kms/hr and the house cat too something similar to the human athlete's.

Let's do a Google search to refresh one's memory.

30 × 60 seconds = 1800 metres per minute for a cheetah
1800 ÷ 1000 metres = 1.8 kilometres per minute
1.8 × 60 minutes = 108 kms per hour for a cheetah

13 × 60 = 780 metres per minute (cat)
780 ÷ 1000 = 0.78 kms per minute
0.78 × 60 minutes = (4.2+0.48) × 10 = 46.8 kms/hr

Memory served well
Good mathematical brain although kinda slow maybe
Thank God for the calculator, just to be sure that no mistakes were made​

Times and locations...

Time is a great blessing where one can rest and do good deeds and prepare for the coming life after death diligently.

To be thankful for life.

To yearn for true good.

To be free of ill will.

Physical healthiness and spiritual gratitude.

Food and its water-retention capacities.

The naturally comfortable tropical climate here which requires just enough clothing.

So I met this man looking for donations so as to be able to have an operation done on him to reconstruct the skin on the left side of his left skull which seems to have been crushed very badly.

The operation will entail transplanting skin from his right thigh apparently.

Which goes to show just how blessed most people are to have all their bodily parts pretty much intact and free from most defects...

Chapter 98, Clear Evidence, Sūratul Bayyinah

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1. Those who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture, and the Polytheists, were not apart, until the Clear Evidence came to them.

2. A messenger from God reciting purified scripts.

3. In them are valuable writings.

4. Those who were given the Scripture did not splinter, except after the Clear Evidence came to them.

5. They were commanded only to worship God, devoting their faith to Him alone, and to practice regular prayer, and to give alms. That is the upright religion.

6. Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture, and the Polytheists, will be in the Fire of Hell, where they will abide forever. These are the worst of creatures.

7. As for those who believe and lead a righteous life—these are the best of creatures.

8. Their reward is with their Lord: Gardens of Eternity beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. God is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. That is for whoever fears His Lord.

Chapter 99, The Quake Sūratul Zilzāl

In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.

1. When the earth is shaken with its quake.

2. And the earth brings out its loads.

3. And man says, “What is the matter with it?”

4. On that Day, it will tell its tales.

5. For your Lord will have inspired it.

6. On that Day, the people will emerge in droves, to be shown their works.

7. Whoever has done an atom's weight of good will see it.

8. And whoever has done an atom's weight of evil will see it.

Ears that can hear and eyes that can see.

A mind that can think and a mouth that can speak.

A heart that understands and can discern between what is wrong and what is right...

To be blessed with so many things to want to do and accomplish that one is quite certain to never feel bored again. :)

One could have been afflicted with diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, malaria, and so many kinds of innumerable diseases and yet, one is safe from them save By His Goodness.
