Re: My thoughts of the day...
I was just sitting in traffic (they shut down the highway for nightly construction) and looked up and saw a shooting star...and another one just minutes later. I've never seen shooting stars before! SubhanAllah, According to tafsir, what I witnessed was the Angels throwing them at the Shayatin.
It reminded me of tonights Halaqah. How the Imam was saying everything in this world is so perfect. How cows produce more milk than their calves need, or even something as simple as fruits growing on trees. Sometimes we forget to thank Allah for all the blessings He's bestowed upon us.
"And we have, (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire." (67:5)
