BBC Arabic News: “Scientists say that the desert dust is important in an unexpected way. It provides rich nutrients for marine life. When the dust lands in the sea it helps feed microscopic plankton. This microscopic plankton forms an important part of the food chain and absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.”

Maa Shaa Allaah Laa Quwatta illaa Billaah. I was taken aback when I read the BBC quote. I couldn’t do anything but praise Allaah and ask for His forgiveness. I no longer complain about the dust here. I reflected on other things like the wind (and how irritated some become when it blows), how kids sing “rain, rain go away,” and how some hate the winter time. May Allaah pardon our ignorance and lack of gratitude.
