Man from a drop of

intellectual, scientific view that creates the human
emotions and feelings toward the greatness of Allah
the creator.
It also creates emotions and feelings toward the
smallness of the human being and his weakness in
front of this universe, which leads to the necessity
to submit to Allah (S.W.T.)
