Signs for Those Who Reflect
By Imam Zaid Shakir · May 18, 2008
One of the skeptics came to Imam al-Shafi'i, May God have mercy on him and asked, "What is your proof for the existence of God?" The Imam replied, "The Mulberry leaf has a single taste, a single color, a single fragrance and a single shape. However, when the silk worm eats it she produces silk. When the bee eats it he produces honey. When the ewe eats it she becomes plump and her milk becomes abundant. When the gazelle eats it it nourishes him and mixes with his blood producing musk. Who is the one who has made these various processes and products from a single food? Surely it is God?"

This reminds me of how people internalize the hadith, sunnah and quranic readings and produce different actualizations. A parable would be imagining the outputs of man's intentions and actions as milk and honey. Rather than focusing over our slight differences of perspective that actually add beauty, flavor and sweetness for all to savor, right here on earth. The key is to eat to live.
