The Whole Universe Is Praising Allah and Our Soul Can Feel It

The warm, golden light of the summer sun wraps around me.

I listen to the crickets chirping, the rustle of leaves in the evening breeze, and the murmur of water nearby.

I look at the colourful sunset sky, and the sparkling surface of the lake gently reflecting the last rays of daylight.

As these sounds and sights fill the scenery, a deep sense of peace washes over me. This calm is unlike any other, yet strangely familiar.

It settles within me, and in that quiet moment, a realization slowly dawns: this feeling, this profound stillness, is exactly the peace I find when I read the Quran.

It’s as if nature itself is uttering those same sacred words, and in its melody, I am reminded of something I’ve heard: that these very sounds are praises to Allah.

I start to wonder if this is why nature sounds and sights bring us such calm? Why we all love to have vacations near water or mountains.

This curiosity sparked my research into what the Quran and Islamic scholars say.
