Signs for Those Who Reflect
By Imam Zaid on 18 May 2008

However, when the silk worm eats it she produces silk. When the bee eats it he produces honey. When the ewe eats it she becomes plump and her milk becomes abundant. When the gazelle eats it it nourishes him and mixes with his blood producing musk. Who is the one who has made these various processes and products from a single food? Surely it is God?”

if that doesnt make you question where you are in life....i dont know what does.
