Do not belittle the signs of Allah
The perfect design of this universe, and all that it contains, reflects the dominion and supremacy of Allah. However, many people make the mistake of looking past His signs or denying them altogether. Allah appointed a she'camel as a specific sign for Thamud, but the people ridiculed this sign, and hamstrung her, thus inviting His punishment: 'And We gave Thamud the she'camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her.' (17:59) We must remember that signs of Allah’s presence and dominion are evident in the tiniest particle of His creation, and not just in the miracles granted to the prophets.
'Indeed, Allah is not timid to present an example ' that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, ‗What did Allah intend by this as an example?‘ He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient.' (2:26)
