Man Has No Right To Be Arrogant

LIGHT travels at the speed of light, which is 299,792,458 meters per second in vacuum. This speed also happens to be the maximum limit any object can travel for nothing can go faster than this. Light is perceived to be so fast that it can circle the globe 7 times in a second.

However, it is considered slow compared to the vastness of this Universe. It takes 1.5 seconds for a light to travel from the Moon to the Earth. About 8 minutes from the Sun to the Earth. About 4.2 years from Proxima Centauri to reach us and that is only the nearest star to the Sun!!! Light from Andromeda Galaxy takes 2.5 million years to reach Earth and this is only our neighboring galaxy!!!

So far, there is an estimation of 170 billion galaxies in the observable Universe. It is called observable because the light from these distant objects has already reached us. The furthest we can observe is about 46-47 billion light years away in any direction. 
Anything further away, is completely unknown to us because we still can’t see it yet. So what the size of the Universe? It is still undetermined. But for sure, it is bigger than 93 billion years across and it is unimaginably enormous. 

So what God has created? 
لَخَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ خَلْقِ النَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Certainly the creation of the heavens and the earth is greater than the creation of the men, but most people do not know. (Al-Quran 40:57)

For those of you who think you have the right to be arrogant for whatever reason, please reconsider your position again!!!
