In Surah Baqarah Allah shows His mercy and love by providing us with
shelter and the comfort of the world. Allah says: “He has created the Earth
with all provisions for our sustenance.” The sky as a shady umbrella also
providing rain through it then for all these favours we should only approach
Him and associate not any partners with Him as sincere worship and
obedience inculcates in us a consciousness of Allah’s presence.
“O Mankind! Worship your Lord Who has created you and those
before you, haply you may become pious. And Who made the
earth a bed for you, and the sky a structure and caused water to
come down from heaven hence brought forth therewith some
fruits for your food, therefore do not set up equals for Allah
knowingly.” (Al-Baqra: 02, 21-22)
Allah shows His love to us by giving us the gift of knowledge as the first
word of the first revelation was “read”. He is also explaining to us the nature
of our existence that we are created out of a clot of congealed blood. He
asks us to thank Him and to take Him as the Lord who is the most bountiful.
As He taught us all we do not know.
“Read: In the Name of your Lord who created. Created man from a clot.
Read: and your Lord is the Most Generous. He who taught by the pen.
Taught man what he never knew.” (Alaq:96, 1-5)
“On that Day, the people will emerge in droves, to be shown their works.
Whoever has done an atom's weight of good will see it. And whoever has
done an atom's weight of evil will see it.” (Zilzaal: 99, 6-8)
