the ocean

Imam Al- Kazim said : “Luqman said to his son: “the world is a deep ocean in which many worlds hav already drowned, so make Godwariness (taqwa) your boat, faith its content, trust in Allah its sail, reason its custodian, knowledge its guide, and patience its inhabitants.” (Mizan Al-Hikmah h. 4573).

ocean

The angel who came to Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w.s.) and informed him about the martyrdom of Imam Husain (a.s.) was the angel of the oceans. An angel of Paradise flew down to an ocean, with his wings spread out over the ocean crying: “O folks of the oceans! Put on the garments of grief, for the son of Allahs Messenger (s.a.w.s.) will be slaughtered.” Then he carried some dust of Imam Husain (a.s.) in his wings to the heavens. There was no angel that did not smell it and was not affected by it and they cursed the killers of Husain (a.s.) and their followers. (Kamil al-Ziyrat h. #3)

leaves

Holy Quran 6:99

وَهُوَ الَّذي أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَخرَجنا بِهِ نَباتَ كُلِّ شَيءٍ فَأَخرَجنا مِنهُ خَضِرًا نُخرِجُ مِنهُ حَبًّا مُتَراكِبًا وَمِنَ النَّخلِ مِن طَلعِها قِنوانٌ دانِيَةٌ وَجَنّاتٍ مِن أَعنابٍ وَالزَّيتونَ وَالرُّمّانَ مُشتَبِهًا وَغَيرَ مُتَشابِهٍ ۗ انظُروا إِلىٰ ثَمَرِهِ إِذا أَثمَرَ وَيَنعِهِ ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكُم لَآياتٍ لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ

It is He who sent down out of heaven water, and thereby We have brought forth the shoot of every plant, and then We have brought forth the green leaf of it, bringing forth from it close-compounded grain, and out of the palm-tree, from the spathe of it, dates thick-lustered, ready to the hand, and gardens of vines, olives, pomegranates, like each to each, and each unlike to each. Look upon their fruits when they fructify and ripen! Surely, in all this are signs for a people who do believe.

leaf

Holy Quran 6:59

With Him are the keys of the Unseen; none knows them but He. He knows what is in land and sea; not a leaf falls, but He knows it. Not a grain in the earth’s shadows, not a thing, fresh or withered, but it is in a Book Manifest.
