The Miracle of Milk, Part 6
By Abdul Alim Muhammad, M.D.
Updated Jan 14, 2010 - 9:54:32 AM
But, you say, What does all of this have to do with milk? It has everything to do with the value of milk to us today, because it is the cultivation in people of a desire for the pure milk of God's own miraculous design that leads us back to the Heavenly Garden of Allah. Through the milk we have a genuine taste of Paradise. Through the agency of God's wonderfully created quadrupeds— especially the cow—we have a reliable and capable ally in our struggle against the evil of the Evil One, who has led Man astray. With the help of the cattle through their cultivation, we can recover the boundless and limitless potential that is Man in the image and likeness of God!
Of what use would owning an automobile be if there were no gasoline or diesel fuels to make it go? Those inventors of the automobile and other mechanical devices would have been poor planners and miserable failures had they not, at the same time that they were inventing what they invented, also worked out the means to power their invention. Imagine if each car owner had been given no fuel for his vehicle, and then resorted to pouring into the tank, anything he could come up with, as though it did not matter, as though everything was the equal to every other thing. What would have been the result if anything at all could have been called ‘fuel' and then poured in, with no thought what-so-ever of the engineered specifications of the car? Under such circumstances would the performance of the car on the road equal the intention of the inventor?
Think of the bitterly disappointed motorist, broken down on the side of the road, cursing what seemed to them to be bad luck and misfortune, and kicking viciously at a deeply flawed and inadequate piece of junk called an automobile. The anger toward the manufacturer would be fierce, and the mind would tend toward thoughts such as, “We were better off before all these new fangled gadgets!”
Wouldn't the automotive engineer also be upset and angry at the bad reputation of his supreme invention? He designed it to be swift, efficient and reliable, to carry its passengers safely and in comfort to any destination, without breaking down, creating trouble, frustration and disappointment. Even from a distance the engineer would know that the operator of the car did not understand its workings properly and therefore did not give the car what the car was designed to run on—gasoline of the right grade and type. Such an engineer might even consider the motorist to be an idiot of the worst kind who deserves to be broken down in the middle of nowhere for being so stupid.
Wouldn't the disgusted motorist be surprised and elated to learn from someone who happened to stop by to render aid, that the whole problem was solved just by putting the right type of fuel in the tank! And suddenly that which was broken down and useless is roaring down the road performing exactly to the engineering specifications of its inventor. Of course, any common sense person would not be amazed, because, any common sense person knows that you cannot expect a car or any mechanical devise to function properly to specifications if you do not fuel it as it should be fueled, as per the owner's manual.
The above example, applied to Man, shows that Man was created by the greatest of Creators, the Originator of the Heavens and the Earth. He created Man in His own image and likeness. These are the engineering specifications. Man is like God, Man is a god, and has the same specifications as God Himself. Talk about high performance!
And all that Man needs to achieve high performance is within the Garden! So therefore the problem with Man today is now obvious. He is broken down on the side of the road to Heavenly Life in Abundance precisely because he has been lured out of the Garden, away from that which can satisfy his needs. He has been following in “the footsteps of the devil” and is far away, broken down in the middle of nowhere. He finds himself far removed from what he needs to get back in motion towards the Goal. If he does not realize what has happened to him, and then take the needed steps in the right direction to correct the problem, Man will die in his broken down state by the side of the road.
