winter’s cold. During the summer, juicy fruits such as
watermelons, cherr ies, cantaloupe and peaches come
out . In the summer, the weather becomes hot, causing
our bodies to lose water, and we are able to replace
this water with the help of these fruits.
None o f t he s e hav e happened by a c c i den t . T he
watermelon hasn’t decided by itself, al l of a sudden,
to emerge during the summer . Neither did the tastes
and smel ls of al l of these fruits just happen. No fruit
could decide its scent . Could an orange, for instance,
de c i de , “ l e t my s c en t be t h i s ” , “ l e t my c o l ou r be
orange”, “let me be sweet”, “let me shield my pieces
with a cover” and “let me divide into sl ices, so that
people can eat me with ease”?
Of course not!
Al lah creates frui t for peopl e wi th such features
that are more benef icial for them, so that they wi l l
continue to be strong and healthy, and enjoy the fruit
they eat . For this reason, when we eat something we
l ike, we must never forget that Al lah created it and
gave it to us. We must thank Al lah for the beautiful
things that He has given us and shown us.
So f a r , we hav e men t i oned ou r

c r ea t u r e s on ea r t h . We a s k ed , “How
could al l of these have occurred?” Just
think, earth was created and there was
nothing on it, and then al l of a sudden
l i v i ng t h i ng s appea r ed on i t . I n t he
