Assalamu Alaikum WRH, Almighty God's Peace and blessings be upon you ...
Bidding adieu (Allah Hafiz) to my spouse, I started my journey to Conroe
(Houston) office today morning at 5:01 AM from Dallas, TX. Obviously, it was pitch dark, and
as by practice, I started listening my favorite tape of Chapter Amma from Holy
Qur’an. I do exercise caution at least within the city limit on my speed, and
do my best to maintain a constant plus 5 miles over the designated speed
limit. The whole journey takes a duration of 3:05 hours, if there isn’t any road
accidents blocking the flow of the morning traffic.
After a little while, say crossing 80 miles, as dawn was catching
up, the pitch dark color of the sky was very gradually modifying. There
appeared on the sky (still dark) the star, which I believed is referred as
North Star. With it, it brought a variation in the sky’s color. Among the whole
pitch darkness, I did noticed a faint band appeared which possessed a varied
combination of dull pink fringed with pale yellow. A color which you would just
like to admire on the sky but not on your living room’s wall.
As time passed, say about 50 more miles, the colors on the sky did
changed. This time, a faint orange color got added the existing ones, and added
more beauty to the sky. As the pitch darkness was gradually melting as a cotton
candy in a 3 year olds mouth, the pitch darkness was melting away, giving way
to slightly gray color, adding more vanity to the sky to the existing
orange, little bold pink.
When I grasped my straying thoughts, I now noticed a bold orange
splendor spreading across the sky. Well, normally I used to experience pockets
of fog near small ponds early morning on my way, this my car would pierce
forward. But today, as all the Houstonians who hit the highway, would have
experience a dense fog engulfing the whole area. I did experience the same.
Well, the time was 07:01 AM, and out of nowhere to the east, my
left eye caught sight of a not so bright illuminating sun in the sky in the fog, mild
light orange color spreading fast. My senses got captivated by the splendor. By
the time, my mind and limbs coordinated to
pick my cell phone to capture this beautiful scene, the whole magic disappeared. And instead I now
noticed an increase in the harshness of the orange color which blended with
bright yellow in the sky.
Even though my mind captured this fantastic sight, but was unlucky
to capture it on my cell phone. It was as if the whole performance from pitch
dark black to pale pink streak to dull orange spread to bold orange with yellow
to plain sky blue came to an end. This show of elegance takes place every
morning, and will continue till the Day Of The Judgment in varied fashion.
Being a lone spectator in my car evidencing this mind blowing
performance, my humble thoughts went
beyond the magnanimous display of colors on the sky.
Who would be this great painter, constantly modifying the colors captivating
its audience, feeding their numbed senses to greed for more and more?
This show is for sure not happening by itself.
Isn’t this a
constant reminder from our only One Almighty Allah for every living human being stimulating
their thought process to accept His greatest omnipresence, and make us bow in humility
before Him, accepting His utmost presence laced with His mercy, grace and blessings.
Listening to this, I am sure Darwin would be wringing in his grave.
