“Who was the God who wrote these signs?” This was the question asked by the great Austrian physicist, Luduriq Boltzmann (1844-1906) when he looked at the inspired equations which the celebrated Scottish physicist, James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) had written to express the laws of electromagnetic interaction.

Physical studies of the universe do, in fact, indicate that behind all of its functioning there is something which is highly meaningful, but at the same time impenetrably mysterious.

Abdullah ibn Umar tells of how the Prophet once took him by the shoulders and said: “Live in this world as though you were a wayfarer.” 

Of our passage through life Abdullah ibn Umar used to say: “In the evening do not wait for the morning and in the morning do not wait for the evening. 

Make the most of your life before you are struck down by illness or death.” (Al-Bukhari).

When it comes to rewards for human effort, people fall into two distinct categories: those who expect more than their due for whatever they have done, and those who simply do a job and then forget about it. 

The second class of people do not complain even if they are not paid. They derive their satisfaction from leading a purposeful life, and not from immediate dividends.
