Reading Surah Room I was struck as Allah starts one ayah after another with من اٰيٰته and then I stopped on ayah 24 ومن اٰيٰته يريكم البرق خوفاً و طمعاً و ينزل من السماء مآءً فيحي الأرض بعد موتها “and of His signs is that He shows you the lightening causing fear and aspiration, and He send down rain from the sky by which He brings to life the earth after its lifelessness…” there are times when life feels dark and trials hit us like lightening …...
Bismillah! “See then the impact of Allah’s mercy: how He gives life to the earth after its death! Surely That "same God" can raise the dead.

Everything is ayaat (signs) of the presence of our Lord , His provision and His mercy if we only paused to contemplate.. 'Indeed, within the heavens and earth are signs for the believers'(45:3) Allah tells us in the Quran about the presence of signs, of His existence, of His greatness, of the end of time, of creation, of hell and Jannah : for those wh...

God says that this action is a result of His *mercy,* leading us to make a connection here between His divine love and compassion, and a revival and potential for growth and transformation.
