creature the inspiration it needs. We all do what we are told to do.
Never forget that Allah embraces everything and keeps everything
under His control. He is the Lord of all things. You can find a lot of
verses about this in the Qur'an. The ferry is approaching land now,
and I'm going to fly off to join my friends. See you again..." Jalal
watched his new friend fly away, growing smaller and smaller in the
distance.
When he arrived home Jalal looked for a verse in the Qur'an
about everything being under Allah's control. He found it in the
Surah Hud, and learned the verse by heart right away:
[Hud said,] "I have put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord.
There is no creature He does not hold by the forelock. My Lord
is on a Straight Path." (Surah Hud: 56)
18
Do they not see the birds
suspended in mid-air up in the sky?
Nothing holds them there except Allah.
There are certainly Signs in that for
people who believe.
(Surat an-Nahl: 79)
