He nourishes us from the plants that He makes grow through the earth.

Through that same earth, He cloths us like since always through plantations and protects us through the wood gathered therefrom and mixtures of rock, sand, iron, and water.

All these sciences belong to Him Alone concerning how to operate those raw materials to everybody's advantage.

The power and the capability to work the land and transform it come from Him in actual reality, and we do not deserve any praise for all of those blessings such as food and protection from the external environment.

All praise is for God Alone for the constant protection from our own shame, to say the least, for we all were nothing to begin with!

How great He is for growing all the wheat and all the sugar canes with which we manufacture biscuits and the likes?

What about His Own Good Pleasure when all of those tasty pleasures can be enjoyed except by His Good Grace!

Note that the first chapter of the Qur'ān is also known as the first Sūrah, Sūratul Awwal, the Chapter of the First.

God is the First and the Last, Al Ākhir.

The first chapter is called Al Fātihah, or The Opening.

How many flowers have opened since Adam and Eve?

How many seeds have been carried by birds and the wind so as to plant the whole Earth with countless trees?

The third Chapter of the Qur'ān is known as Aali 'Imrān or The Family of 'Imrān.



How many families have come and gone since time immemorial?

The first human family was surely that of Adam and Eve, before it increased to three and more.

God is greater than all the distances imaginable between every two points that have ever existed, exist, and that will ever exist and be undertaken by any amount of sentient beings.



Bottom line, God is beyond any temporal and spatial dimension.

Any starting point is ever-divisible into two further points since this universe is constantly expanding.

God is greater than distance.

How many houses exist right now?

Even a tent can house one and sometimes more.

All those residences function save by His Blessings Alone.

Residences, apartments, bungalows, and every container/compartment imaginable actually belong to Him first before being attributed to anybody else, and that too save for but some time...

The fifth Chapter/Sūrah of the Qur'ān is called Al-Māidah which stands for The Table Spread.



How many tables are existing right now?

Some are on three feet, while others are on four or more. Some may not even have feet, resting on their own one-footed thicknesses, so to speak.

How many plates of food have existed till now?

How many humans have eaten, whether alone or with their partners and other family members?

Let us be reminded that the third Chapter of the Qur'ān is known as The Family of 'Imrān.

(Sūratul Māidah : Verse 1) Believers! Honour your bonds! All grazing beasts of the flock are permitted to you except those which are recited to you hereinafter, but you are not allowed to hunt in the state of Ihram (a state of pilgrim sanctity). Indeed Allah decrees as He wills.

Let us be reminded that the third Chapter of the Qur'ān is known as The Family of 'Imrān.
The Family of 'Imrān is the Family of Amram, dad to Aaron, Moses and Miriam their sister.

Numbers 26:59 And the name of Amram's wife [was] Jochebed, the daughter of Levi, whom [her mother] bare to Levi in Egypt: and she bare unto Amram Aaron and Moses, and Miriam their sister.

And let us also be reminded that Mary, mother of Jesus, is descended from David, and the Line of David can trace its roots back to BOTH Judah-Pharez AND Levi (Exod. 6:23; Num. 1:7; 1 Chron. 2:4-15; Matt. 1:1-17; Luke 1:5, 1:36, 1:67-71).

Aaron, son of Amram, who was the first high-priest from the tribe of Levi, took a wife from the tribe of Judah-Pharez. Confirmation of the lineage of Mary, the mother of Jesus may likewise be found in the Koran/Quran (Sura 3:35-37, Sura 19:27-34, Sura 66:12).

Sura 3:35-37
3:35. Behold! A woman (Hannah - Anne who was a member of the British Royal Family) of Amram (who was a Levite) said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate unto Thee what is in my womb for Thy special service: so accept this of me: for Thou hearest and knowest all things."
3:36. When she was delivered, she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!"- and God knew best what she brought forth- "And in no way is the male like the female. I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Thy protection from the Evil One, the Rejected."
3:37. Right graciously did her Lord accept her: He made her grow in purity and beauty: to the care of Zacharias was she assigned. Every time that he entered (her) chamber to see her, he found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Mary! Whence (comes) this to you?" She said: "From God: for God provides sustenance to whom He pleases without measure."

Sura 19:27-34
19:27. At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! Truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!
19:28. "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"
19:29. But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the crib?"
19:30. He said: "I am indeed a servant of "I AM": He hath given me revelation and made me a Prophet;
19:31. "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Compassion as long as I live;
19:32. "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;
19:33. "So Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!
19:34. Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.

Sura 66:12. And Mary the daughter of Amram, who guarded her chastity and We breathed into (her body) of Our spirit and she testified to the truth of the words of her Lord and of His revelations, and was one of the devout (servants).

(Sūratul Māidah : Verse 1) Believers! Honour your bonds! All grazing beasts of the flock are permitted to you except those which are recited to you hereinafter, but you are not allowed to hunt in the state of Ihram (a state of pilgrim sanctity). Indeed Allah decrees as He wills.
From The Law in the Old Covenant/Testament:-

Numbers 30:1-2
30:1 And Moses spoke unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the "I AM" hath commanded.
30:2 If a man vow a vow unto the "I AM", or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

And from the New Covenant/Testament:-

1 John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

How great is God for regulating the temperatures of the seas, earths, skies, and all the inhabitants therein however so He deems fit!

Some are cold-blooded while others are warm-blooded.

Innumerable are His servants and to each their respective duties like since the dawn of time.

How Great God is for blessing the human with fire so as to make food easier and more pleasant to ingest!

How many versions can be attributed to so many kinds of dishes? You have the boiled version and the fried version of potatoes for instance, without forgetting the raw version! :)

How many people have eaten so many types of good food till now? Quite a lot I am sure!

He Created this planet once.

Therefore He Can Recreate it a second time.

Indeed, this Earth is as manifold in the whole universe as all the grains of sand that exist here itself!

Try imagining trillions of Planet Earths with all its inhabitants all throughout the whole wide universe! :)

A fan or ventilation apparatus can easily replace a mosquito repellent, should He so Bless one.

That said, electricity is like lightning in a room, also known as a power station...

Which translates as energy being equal to money...

How great is God for providing us with minds through which we can find substitutes for what we need.

Certainly no need for the Room of requirements when He Blesses one! :)

The Room of Requirement is a room on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle that appears when someone is in very great need of it, and contains what that individual needs at that time.

Who is this nice person?

Is s/he even still alive?

Edit:



Born on the 10.07.1856 in Croatia,Tesla died of heart failure in the United States, a forgotten man, on January 7, 1943, the Orthodox Christmas Day of that year. Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation immediately removed the papers from Tesla's safe, citing wartime security concerns. His funeral was conducted in New York, and his body was cremated.

God is so Great and Good that He Certainly Can and Will Act according as to how you think of Him. :)

Very surely, if you believe that He Can and Will, then He Surely Shall!!!

The Prophet
ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)
said, “Allah the Most High said, ‘I am as My servant thinks (expects) I am. I am with him when he mentions Me. If he mentions Me to himself, I mention him to Myself; and if he mentions Me in an assembly, I mention him in an assembly greater than it. If he draws near to Me a hand’s length, I draw near to him an arm’s length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.’”


[Sahih Al-Bukhari]

For example, if one believes that God Will Empower one in any way imaginable, then He shall Certainly Do so for that friend of His.

The only thing in question is what must one do to become one of His beloved servants?

The answer is very simple...

Try to understand the copy-pasted text down below (when I google-searched for 'I am as My servant thinks of Me Hadith explanation'):

As My Slave Thinks of Me

This meaning would indicate the importance of holding good opinions of Allah Most High. This is supported by the following narrations:

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give him peace) said, “Let not one of you die except that he has beautiful opinions of Allah.” [Ibid.]

What Does the Statement by Allah Most High, “I Am as My Servant Think of Me,” Mean?

It simply means to always believe in God and to always have good thoughts about Him.

How Great is God for owning all the grains of soil in the world!

The grain size of soil particles are categorized into three groups: clay, silt, and sand.


Clay measures less than 0.002 mm (0.0008 inch) in diameter,

Silt is between 0.002 mm (0.0008 inch) and 0.05 mm (0.002 inch), and

Sand is between 0.05 mm (0.002 inch) and 2 mm (0.08 inch).


https://www.britannica.com › What-...
What are the grain sizes in soil? - Britannica

He makes planters out of the same soil.

Through each and every grain of soil, contributions emerge to affect the respective seed where very specific atomic bonds form so as to make a root first and then the fruit of the plant.

In other words, just as the human being (made from clay) waters the seed from above, so does the watered soil (clay of the Earth) respond by interacting with the watered seed and innumerable combinations of countless atomic elements become all those vegetables, fruits, and raw materials that are of great benefit to us by His Grace and Goodness Alone.
