God-inspired

I saw a post comment which sounded like a half-joke, but it's something to truly ponder about.

It was something to the effect of "how did people suddenly know that some 'rotten' (fermented) food are good and can be used, like yoghurt, vinegar - did they all suddenly want to taste food turned bad?"

Good question.

I thought about it, and remembered a comment about man's knowledge, in a book about Science and Islam.  As mentioned in the Quran, all knowledge comes from God.  When a man is suddenly 'inspired' or 'has an idea' or 'is moved to try something' - it came from God.    And this is no surprise and not something without clear example from Nature. 

Just like, who suddenly taught the bees to build hives that can contain honey?  Who taught the birds to pick twigs and make some amazing nests?  Who taught the trees to make it's own food out of sunlight and water source? And the list endlessly goes on.    The answer is only one - God. 

"Glorify the name of your Lord, Most High;

Who created and shaped/fashioned all;

and Who ordained precisely and inspired accordingly"

(87:1-3)
