A Moving Leaf

When we travel to a forest, mountain, or a village there are still a lot of trees, of course we will not loose sight of trees, grass, leaves, and other natural phenomena. The following story is a true story witnessed by Ustadz Sharif Suhendar and Saeful Rohman (Master SAE) when traveling to one location in Rancaupas Bandung West Java Indonesia.

They watched a leaf that does not stop moving even though there was no wind. This is different from other leaves that only move when there was a breeze that touches the leaves. The leaf could also be held for a while, but after being released, the leaf is moving back to normal (moving on without stopping).

Although no direct research on this incident but based on modern science, it can certainly be a normal phenomenon just like the theory of aero dynamics. A Muslim may claim that it is (a moving leaf) is one of power and miracles of God, but only within reasonable limits as a form of self-introspection of obedience to Allah. Do not let this incident make calamity by making the leaf as offerings or by performing special worship and prayer around the leaf.

A Muslim must make natural phenomena like that to further examine the science to support, develop, and improve the technology without leaving obedience to God.

The Roles and Duties of Human Beings in the World According to the Qur’an

Introduction Human beings were not created without a purpose. The Qur’an makes it clear that our existence on earth is deeply meaningful. We are given intellect, free will, and a sense of morality, all of which make us responsible for our actions. According to Islamic teachings, human life is not just about survival or pleasure, but about fulfilling specific roles assigned by Allah. The Qur’an outlines three primary roles for mankind: Servant of Allah (‘abdullah) Vicegerent (khalifah) on earth Bearer of the trust (amanah) These roles define the duties and responsibilities of humans in the world and serve as guidance for a purposeful life. 1. Human as Servant of Allah The most fundamental role of a human being is to worship Allah. Worship is the central purpose of creation, as explicitly stated in the Qur’an: “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.” (Surah Adh-Dhariyat [51]: 56) In Islam, worship is not confined to ritual acts like prayer, fasting, or pilgrimag...
