Assalam alaikum,
Sometimes we complain about cost of food or its availability, but hardly do we reflect on the origin, meaning and significance of food, its bearing on sustaining human existance, Nations political fortunes and foture of Mankind. In this regard, let us consider what Allahu Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says in Surat Abasa, chapter 80 of the Holy Qur'an, verse 24-32:--
''Let man, then, consider {the sources of} his food:
{how it is} that We pour down water, pouring it down
abundantly; and then We cleave the earth {with new growth},
cleaving it asunder, and thereupon We cause grain(s) to grow out of it,
and vines and edible plants, and olive trees and date-palms, and gardens
dense with foliage, and fruits and harbage, for you and your animals to enjoy''.
In these Ayats/verses, we see/appreciate the story of food...the provision of which is carefully planned by the Hand which created man. Man plays no role in any of its stages...even the seeds and grains he casts on the earth are not of his making, but that of Almighty God.
Subhan'allah. very important and excellent food for thought. man have to work a little bit hard to plow the fields make ready the soil for seeding then planting seeds and giving water to those plants take care of these plants and then harvest them on right time and the store them and save their self from great disasters .
