The importance of having a nap

Sleeping is one of God's Miracles, but why did our Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) tell us to take a nap during day? Is there any scientific reason for that?….


Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H) told us to take a midday nap as he Said: "Nap as Satans do not nap." Narrated by El-Tabarany.
A new scientific research has proved that napping during work reduces the possibilities of having serious heart problems that may be deadly.
Midday napping in office benefits heart and reduces exhaustion and stress since working is the main cause of exhaustion, researchers said.
Sleeping during day is necessary for man as sleeping at night isn't enough. Not only that, but it may be harmful if it continued for a long period of time, researchers said in an other research.

That's why doctors advise people to wake up at night and do some activities and not to sleep for along time as it harms the heart.
Therefore, let's contemplate the holy Verse that tells us about the miracle of sleeping at day and night. Allah says in the Quran: " And of His signs is your slumber by night and by day, and your seeking of His bounty. Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who heed. (Al-Room Verse23).

The Ant Talks.

Scientists discovered that the ants talk to each other in a special language, the ant talks and sends signals in which other ants can hear them. God be he exalted is the one who gave it the ability to talk, but we don't hear it. God gave prophet Sulaiman peace be upon him the ability of talking with ants and understanding what they say.
God be he exalted says:
(Till, when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: "O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaimân (Solomon) and his hosts should crush you, while they perceive not)
[Sûrat An-Naml, verse 18]

Trees and the Environment in Hadiths of the Prophet (PBUH)


Both in his practices and in various of his Hadiths, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) attached great importance to planting trees, protecting existent ones, planting forests, as well as to conserving existent ones. A’isha, one of his wives, said: “His character was the Qur’an.”[30] His practices and conduct related to conservation of the environment should therefore be considered from the Qur’anic standpoint. For us his actions are sources of inspiration constituting his Sunna or practices, which we are obliged to follow. To put it another way, as in all matters, the exemplar of Islamic conduct related to the environment and the person who displayed it in most perfect fashion was God’s Messenger (PBUH). As this, and his commands concerning it, are learnt, our weighty responsibilities become clear.
Some Hadiths of the Prophet connected with planting trees and protecting them:
“If you have a sapling, if you have the time, be certain to plant it, even if Doomsday starts to break forth.”[31]
“Whoever plants trees, God will give him reward to the extent of their fruit.”[32]
“Whoever reclaims and cultivates dry, barren land will be rewarded by God for the act. So long as men and animals benefit from it He will record it for him as almsgiving.”[33]
“Whoever plants a tree, reward will be recorded for him so long as it produces fruit.”[34]
If a Muslim plants a tree, that part of its produce consumed by men will be as almsgiving for him. Any fruit stolen from the tree will also be as almsgiving for him. That which the birds eat will also be as almsgiving for him. Any of its produce which people may eat thus diminishing it, will be as almsgiving for the Muslims who planted it.[35]
The reward accruing from seven things continue to reach the person concerned even if he is in his grave: knowledge he has taught, water he has provided for the public benefit, any well he has dug, any tree he has planted, a mosque he has built, recitations of the Qur’an bequeathed to him, and children who pray for him after his death.[36]
On migrating to Medina, God’s Messenger (PBUH) organized the planting of trees and of date groves. He made the forests and green spaces conservation areas, where every sort of living creature lived. These were called sanctuaries (hima). For example, a strip of land approximately twelve miles wide around Medina was proclaimed a sanctuary and made a conservation area. We know that he proclaimed other areas, similar to this, sanctuaries. All these show the paramount importance —as a religion— Islam gives to nature conservancy and protection of all nature’s living creatures.

A journey to the miraculous and secret world of animals.
Every creature, as the art of the God, keep secrets and miracles inside it. We, as human, are the only creature who has an ability to thinking. Various animal kinds have different features to survive in wild nature. Some of them are discovered by scientists in the history. However, I believe there are many secrets of animals which have not been discovered yet. I have been researching on animals and noting whatever I’ve found interesting. After years, I’ve discovered many secrets of them which you don’t know yet.This is a great list of amazing facts of animals.
