Abstract
This paper is an attempt to bring into light the metaphysical and moral dimensions of nature. The lessons of moral and metaphysical significance that one can find out in nature will be discussed at some length. The Muslim thinkers tell us about three major sources of wisdom; (i) Reflection on our Own Self, (ii) Reflection upon Nature that surrounds us, and (iii) Reflection on the pages of History. These three sources are supposed to transport us beyond ourselves and serve as pointers to the ultimate Being and Reality. Nature can transform man’s life into a purposeful activity that will provide a real meaning to his life, life that is above the level of dead matter, which occupies a lower position in the scale of evolution. For that purpose a sincere quest on the part of man is needed. In order to express and elaborate the vital role, which nature can play in shaking and shocking the human consciousness towards Ultimate Reality, a rational and unbiased approach has been adopted in this paper.
