seeing is believing - KIBAR '10

Salam. we'd also spent one whole day with ustaz syazalie, a student of Syeikh abdul majeed al-Zindani. fyi, al-zindani is the writer of a famous book title "Kitab Tauhid: diperakui oleh fakta sains". ustz syazalie mentioned that he never find any ilmu iman like what al-zindani brought. he referred it as 'seeing is believing'.

in his book, al-zindani emphasised the truthfulness of Al-Quran,which was revealed 1400 years ago, supported by current scientific research. there are countless proof in Al-Quran that show it's really a book from Our Creator. once we witness its truthfulness, our hearts will grab islam tighter and insyaAllah our iman will be stronger. 'seeing is believing' is definitely important in showing the greatness of Allah swt and it certainly can be used to attract non-muslim to get to know islam.

even nabi ibrahim as whose iman was so strong, had asked Allah to show His sign :

And (remember) when Ibrahim said, "My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead.'' He (Allah) said: "Do you not believe'' He (Ibrahim) said: "Yes (I believe), but to be stronger in faith.'' He said: "Take four birds, then cause them to incline towards you (then slaughter them, cut them into pieces), and then put a portion of them on every hill, and call them, they will come to you in haste. And know that Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.'' (2:260)

then, who are we to close our eyes and purposely make ourselves blind from seeing His signs around us. His signs are always there. we just have to open our eyes, hearts and minds.

one of the scientific proof that he brought upon is in the verse (24:40)

"Or like the darkness in a vast deep sea, overwhelmed with waves topped by waves, topped by dark clouds, (layers of) darkness upon darkness: if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it! And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light. " (24:40)

it's proven now that there are 2 types of waves in the sea; surface and internal waves. it's also proven that only blue light can go deeper than 200m. that's why He mention "if a man stretches out his hand, he can hardly see it"

"And that those who have been given knowledge may know that it (this Qur'an) is the truth from your Lord, so that they may believe therein, and their hearts may submit to it with humility. And verily, Allah is the Guide of those who believe, to the straight path." (22:54)

always remember that Al-Quran is not merely a book of science, but it's a book of His signs. insyaAllah. amin.
