Inspiration, from starlings?
Salam alaykum waramatullah wabarakatuhu,
I hope this post meets you in the best of health and eeman. I have been a little busy with work.
The breakfast programme on BBC this morning (hope you haven't spotted that I do enjoy watching the BBC, I don't work for them, honest. lol) were showing a video of a type of bird called starling the video was taken in Gretna Green. Thousands of these birds were flying together in a coordinated manner and not hitting one another, it was a sight to behold. They were described as performing aerial acrobatics. They perform this act in the autumn and it was probably to find a safe place to sleep. It looked like they were being controlled by some remote control. The interviewee, a man from RSPB (The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) was asked how they did this of which he had no answer.
Allah created these birds and has equipped them with this means by which all they could all pull together to find a safe place to rest for the night. This is part of the signs and mercies of Allah as stated in the Quran:
“Verily, the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which sail through the sea with that which is of use to mankind, and the water (rain) which Allaah sends down from the sky and makes the earth alive therewith after its death, and the moving (living) creatures of all kinds that He has scattered therein, and in the veering of winds and clouds which are held between the sky and the earth, are indeed aayaat (proofs, evidences, signs) for people of understanding.”[al-Baqarah 2:164]
The aayat of Allah are all around us and they are all the inspiration we need to ensure that our everyday activity is geared up to obeying Allah and doing good to people and animals every opportunity we get as we are reminded to do in the Quran:
Worship Allah and join none with Him in worship, and do good to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, Al-Masakin (the poor), the neighbour who is near of kin, the neighbour who is a stranger, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (you meet), and those (slaves) whom your right hands possess. Verily, Allah does not like such as are proud and boastful {Surah An-Nisa(4):Ayah 36}
May Allah make us better muslims. ameen.
