Quran reflections - 10:24 Yunus - nothing is from 'scratch'

Quran 10:24

"The example of worldly life is but like rain which We have sent down from the sky that the plants of the earth absorb - those from which men and livestock eat - until when the earth has taken on its adornment and is beautified and it's people suppose that they have capability over it - there comes to it Our command by night or by day and We make it as a harvest as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do We explain in detail the signs for a people who give thought."

Isn't it important to always remember that all that we have, all that we are capable of, is only by Allaah's will.

The underlined statement, reminds me of our current times - men have invented so many wonderful and wondrous things, and people who use them, often forget that all those wondrous things that man invented are still derived from Nature that Allaah created. 

What they learned, they learned from nature that God created and what they made, they took it's sources from nature that God created. Nothing is built from 'scratch'.   What they invented is only a speck of the wonders of Nature that Allaah created.
