All the living and nonliving things around you such as: trees, flowers, plants and animals etc are the signs of God to you… Sign means; something which is clear and unhidden that guides you to God the Almighty… Choose what you want of these creatures either a Cow, a Hen, an Egg, a Bird, or a Tree, look at it and think deeply and precisely of it. Think how it has come to this life, the stages it has passed through… look at its organs and consider its functions, think about what kind of service it does to man… and so on. When you keep thinking everyday of these signs as God orders us, your practice will drive you to believe truly in Him the Highest.
