So today I recited certain verses of Surah Thaatar, and inshallah we'll just comment on some of the beautiful meaning that are found in these verses.

I recited, of course, first raka'a beginning with Ya'u Annasu'antumul Fukhara'u'il Allah.

O mankind, all of you are fakir in front of Allah, and Allah is al-Ghani and al-Hamid.

And in the second verse I began from, the second section of this, which is Allah, as Zawajal, mentioning various signs around us.

And linking those signs to his existence, and then there's a very interesting phrase that comes, we're going to talk about that today.

So Allah says, Alhamdulillah Allah has sent down from the heavens rain.

From that one rain, the same rain Allah has caused many plants to come forth.

These plants are all muhtelif in their al-wan, their colors are different.

So the soil is the same color, the rain is the same color, but the plants that come are varied in everything, in their species, in their fruits, and in their color.

Muhtelifan al-Wanuhah. So Allah mentions that all of this is different in color.

And then Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, says that the same applies, women al-Jibali, judadun, bildun, wa hamrun, Muhtelifan al-Wanuhah, wa qarabibusud, and from the mountains as well.

From the mountains look around you. The judad here means the peaks and the crevices, so every mountain it has, you know, the unique shape.

Every mountain has rocks sticking out, it has those crevices in it.

So Allah says, look at these various mountains, women al-Jibali, judadun, bildun, some of them are shining white.

So the rock is like almost white, and hamrun, reddish in color.

And then also qarabibusud, dark, complete, dark, woman and nasi, waddawab, biwan and ami, Muhtelifan al-Wanuhuhu qadalik.

And from mankind, you have all of these colors.

And from the animals that you rear, cows and sheep, you have different color.

And from all types of animals in the earth, you have different color.

Now, what is Allah mentioning in all of this diversity?

There is actually a very deep philosophical point that we can find in this.
