A THOUGHT
THE ATMOSPHERE
------------------
Do you know that every day many meteors fall on earth? When meteors fall on
other planets, they create giant craters, but when they fall on earth, they
don't cause much harm.
So how do meteors cause great damage to the surfaces of other planets but not
to the surface of earth?
The reason for this is the atmosphere that surrounds earth. The atmosphere
encircles our planet as a protective shield. A meteor entering the atmosphere
shrinks through combustion. When it comes closer to the surface of earth, it
becomes even smaller. Therefore, the meteor becomes very small or even
diminishes and disappears completely by the time it reaches the surface of the
earth, and causes us no harm.
The atmosphere doesn't only prevent the harm of meteors but it also absorbs
harmful rays that come from the Sun. Yet again, if these harmful rays were able
to reach earth's surface, it would have been impossible for living things to
survive.
The two characteristics we have mentioned here are more than enough to show us
that the atmosphere is not some haphazard thing. Allah—Who has endless mercy
upon all living things on earth and Who at the same time has eternal power—has
created the atmosphere, and with this atmosphere, He protects us from danger.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom
(i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue
with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone
astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy
Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in
His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites
(men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I
am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if
Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of
camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever
calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who
follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
[Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
