<strong>ETERNITY</strong> <strong>HAS</strong> <strong>ALREADY</strong> <strong>BEGUN</strong><br />
Mediterranean country 50 years ago. Many details regarding this orange<br />
are predestined; such as when it will grow and on which tree,<br />
whether it will be sour or sweet, its shape, its exact color, the place<br />
where it will be stored, the truck by which it will be transported, the<br />
grocery shop in which it will be sold, the customer who will buy<br />
it…Maybe it will be forgotten in a fruit basket. In this case, the<br />
process through which it goes totally moldy, the moment it is found<br />
by someone and thrown into the trash are all predestined. As we<br />
have seen, every second of even an orange's life, the first moment it<br />
buds, ripens or decays exists in the Sight of Allah for all eternity.<br />
Therefore, that orange does not vanish in the Sight of Allah. That is<br />
because, Allah is the al-Hayy. In other words, He is alive. Everything<br />
in His memory becomes alive from His saying "Be!".<br />
It is He Who sends down water from the sky from which We bring<br />
forth growth of every kind, and from that We bring forth the green<br />
shoots and from them We bring forth close-packed seeds, and<br />
from the spathes of the date palm date clusters hanging down, and<br />
gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, both similar and<br />
dissimilar. Look at their fruits as they bear fruit and ripen. There<br />
are Signs in that for people who believe. (Surat al-An'am: 99)<br />
Not A Drop of Water Disappears<br />
What has been related so far is also valid for running water. Each<br />
drop of a stream, a spring, a fountain, an artesian well, or a fall is<br />
kept in the Sight of Allah. Not a drop disappears and is wasted. It<br />
continues to exist for all eternity. As is the case with living beings,<br />
all moments and states pertaining to them are hidden in Allah's<br />
memory. All waters which have run ever since the beginning of the<br />
universe, the ones currently running, as well as the ones which will<br />
run in the future are actually running just at this moment. That is to<br />
say, all are running at this single moment. There is a time in eternity<br />
and all incidents take place in one moment.
