“Nay! Verily, man does transgress all bounds (in disbelief and evil deed, etc.). Because he considers himself self-sufficient.” (Quran, Al-‘Alaq, 96: 6-7) The meaning is that you, man, when you are able by your own means to fulfill what you wish, you forget because of your negligence – Allah, all praise and glory be to Him, and His Supreme Power. As now witnessed, the further humanity progresses in civil ization, the more it is obsessed with the vanity of self-sufficiency and the deeper it breeds the pride of possessing power, hardly remembering Allah. In the past, man used to look for water and toil hard in search of it. He used to dig wells that derive their supply deep within earth from rainwater, moving after it from one place to another. Recite the Glorious Qur’anic verse in which Allah, Blessed and Exalted be He, says (what means): “See you not, that Allah sends down water (rain) from the sky, and causes it to penetrate the earth, (and then makes it to spring up) as water-springs and afterward thereby produces crops of different colours, and afterward they wither and you see them turn yellow,then He makes them dry and broken pieces. Verily, in this, is a Reminder for men of understanding.” (Quran, Az-Zumar, 39: 21).
