<strong>ETERNITY</strong> <strong>HAS</strong> <strong>ALREADY</strong> <strong>BEGUN</strong><br />

The butterflies and<br />

flowers, in short, all<br />

the details you see in<br />

a garden which you<br />

pass by are preserved<br />

in the Sight of Allah.<br />

thing connected with it does not mean that it has disappeared. It has<br />

merely vanished from one's memory. In the Sight of Allah, if the image<br />

belonging to that insect is animated again, and presented to our<br />

five senses, we may see it again.<br />

The same is true of a colorful butterfly seen by a man during the<br />

period of the French Revolution. It is quite possible that the man felt<br />

sorry for this beautiful butterfly when he saw that it had become a<br />

prey for a bird. However, that butterfly, with all its symmetric beauty<br />

and colors, is right now in the Sight of Allah. Every moment of the<br />

butterfly, every time it opened its wings, every time it closed them,<br />

every flower it visited are known in the Sight of Allah. Furthermore,<br />

this butterfly is doing all these deeds just now. Just now, this butterfly<br />

is flying, right now it is eating and right now, it is dying… After<br />

all, this butterfly is alive, and it will remain alive for all eternity.<br />

The feelings of the man who felt sorry for the death of this butterfly,<br />

and moreover, each and every moment of this man's life exist forever.<br />

This fact is stressed in the following verse:<br />

Certainly there is no hidden thing in either heaven or earth which<br />

is not in a Clear Book. (Surat an-Naml: 75)
