Have you ever wondered? The moment you open your bedroom window everyday, the surroundings you pass on your way to class, the gardens, the trees around you, our rivers.. are all instances of the ‘Open Book’ that have been widely pictured in front of us.
They are often captured in paintings and cameras; displayed on the walls, albums and computer screens. With no boundaries, nature seizes the clear evidence of God. These are indications that refer to the signs, hidayah and guidance from the Creator. The ‘Open Book’ has been composed in such a way to make its readers understand what the Author meant. Similarly, with the presence of sincerity and hidayah from Allah, researchers, artists and authors eventually find truth, the al-Haq of life.
Have you ever watched T.V programs such as Discovery Channel or National Geography or read the Encyclopedia of Science and Universe? These are some efforts to record nature. The impact we gain from the astonishment created by the beauties of nature, the unique system of the universe, the art in each creation that competes to survive and the variety of flora and fauna unfortunately leads to nothing. The enchantment ends as the program ends. The excitement ends as the book is closed. Have you ever wondered why?
Signs such as these can only touch the Hearts that have links with The Creator of the Universe -- Allah swt. Those who ponder on these creations will find their faith in Him strengthened. Our observations towards nature must initiate from our Iman. And by that, our faith is alive, energetic and fertilized. Yet, the efforts now are zero for they are void of the linkage between faith and God.
Therefore respected nature book lovers, a book that thrives to combine nature and link it to its Creator, is special. We are always keen to read books that have quality pictures or those that have realistic fiction. Nevertheless, this is more out of the ordinary, with precise and convincing facts and analysis. The most important necessity is that it is capable to relate our hearts with the Creator and Sustainer of Nature itself.
This line of thinking is the expertise of Harun Yahya in his books -- DEEP THINKING, for men of understanding. This Turkish author arranges his writings more exotically compared to the National Geography or Readers Digest because of the link to the nature’s Creator. Also included in this book are clear, accurate pictures capturing nature. The elaborations are faith-related issues explained in the light of the Qur’anic verses and invite its readers to learn Allah's words and to live by them. All the subjects that concern Allah's verses are in such a way as to leave no room for doubt or question marks in the reader's mind.
The sincere, plain and fluent style ensures that everyone of all age and from all walks of life, and all levels of educational background can easily understand the contents of this book. This effective and clear storyline makes it possible to read in a single sitting. Even those who reject spirituality are influenced by the facts recorded in these books and cannot counter the truthfulness of its contents.
There are 5 chapters excluding the introduction and conclusion, discussing solely on thinking in the guided way. You will not find, as in some other books, the personal views of the author, explanations based on questioning sources, styles that are unobservant of the respect and reverence due to sacred subjects, nor hopeless, doubt-creating, and pessimistic accounts that create deviations in the heart.
In conclusion, this book is ideal to be owned by every individual, especially Muslims. Owning this book will chip in to uncover the secrets of this universe. “A day is at hand when those who today avoid seeing the truth by thinking will come to think, and moreover, ‘think deeply and meditate’ and see the truth bright clear” Harun Yahya. With a clear understanding of the truth behind what we see, hear and feel, we can identify the truth ourselves; how very small and tiny we are in the eyes of Allah swt. Read, in the name of your Lord, the Creator and Guardian of everything.
