Everything we see and feel around us is part of nature, like the trees, flower, mountains, river, animals, sky and so many other things. We, as human beings, depend on nature to stay alive.

The relationship between nature and a human is so beautiful. Allah Almighty created this beautiful nature for us, to enjoy its pleasures for our own comfort and benefit. Nature helps us to breathe. It has so many things that are of use to us, for instance vegetables, fruits, water, and other things that provide us shelter and medicines, etc.

A person can feel rejuvenated when connected to nature. I love to interact with nature. It has a healing touch of its own. A tired body or a depressed mind finds a lot of comfort and consolation in the lap of nature.

Nature is very attractive and full of colours. You can see many colours like the blue sea, and then there is the colour green everywhere in the form of grass, plants and trees. And there are so many fruits and vegetables with so many beautiful colours, and you can also see rainbows with seven different colours on a nice rainy. You can see the pure white colour when snow falls, that looks so soothing.

We must understand there is nothing in the world as worthy as nature. No artificial things can ever provide what nature can. We should take full advantage of nature that is around us. So go out in the morning for a walk to start the day on a fresh note, and seeing the sun rise is so peaceful and fascinating.

The sun not only brightens a day, at the same time, it also gives us vitamin D, which is good for our health. So it is good to enjoy the beauty of nature in the morning.

And let me tell you how magical the sunset can be. Once I went to the seaside and there I saw the most fascinating view of sunset from the seaside. It seemed that colours of the sky, sun and sea water all mixed up together and looked so wonderful. And the sound of waves and the cool breeze added to the magical atmosphere. It is so hard to describe that view, but that was a very memorable moment of my life.

There are also so many other vistas of nature that give so much pleasure, such as seeing the snow fall. It is so beautiful to see everything covered with soft and pure white snow, or to see rain falling and to see the majestic view of the mountains. All these scenarios give you great pleasure.

Nature, with all its unique features is a blessing for us. The radiant rivers, huge mountains, oceans, sky, the sun, the moon and everything else, all these things have some order and serve a purpose in life.

There are so many creatures on this earth and Allah gave all of them a purpose. But, as human beings, we are not taking care of these things. We are disturbing and destroying it. We are exploiting the things we rely on. Human activities must be done in a sustainable way to ensure development, without causing any harm to nature. Respect nature and its resources, show some empathy towards it. It is our responsibility as a human being to protect nature.

We should enjoy this beauty without disturbing the balance of the nature. The way we are cutting trees, wasting water and making restaurants and hotels by cutting down forests and mountains, is leading to destruction of forests and natural habitats.

This is not acceptable. The rules made by humans can be broken, but we cannot break the rules of nature. There is an urgent need to conserve the natural settings and gifts of nature so that our future generations can also enjoy and cherish in the beauty of nature. We should take care of our environment, keep it clean, make it peaceful and prevent it from destruction.

Nature is a precious gift given by Almightily Allah to us, we need to enjoy it and not destroy it. So we should protect it from destruction.
