“It is Allah Who has made night a garment for you, and sleep the repose (of death), and has made day the time of rising to life. And He it is Who sends forth the winds as glad tidings, heralding His Mercy. Then We send down pure water from the sky that We may revive through it a dead land and give it for drink to many cattle and human beings from among Our creation. We present this wondrous phenomenon to them over and over again that they may learn a lesson from it. But most men simply decline everything except disbelief and ingratitude.”
(Al Qur’ān – 25:47-50)
These Qur’ān ayahs present some arguments in support of tawhīd (monotheism) and the Hereafter. Daily occurrence of night and day with quality time for sleep in between, and rainfall as Divine Mercy preceded by sending forth of the winds as glad tidings invite unbelievers to ponder over the whole scheme of God. They provide so many proofs of God’s existence, of His different attributes, and of His being the only Lord of the universe that nothing else is needed to persuade people to believe in the message of tawhīd brought by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be to him).
Every year people observe the death of many plants and insects and small creeping animals due to heat and drought. This is followed by their rebirth as a result of rainfall. Instead of rejecting the Truth and holding the After-life as impossible, let us realise and believe in tawhīd and the Hereafter.
