AA, It's a bit of a philosophical question, but understanding the answer may at some point be very useful to you. In what way are these the same: A Man A Wave A Fire A Tree A Mountain and along the same lines, how is an Empire slightly different? And no, it has nothing to do with Empire beginnning with a vowel, but strangely does relate to the beginning of an Empire. wslm NMA

Salaam,
Man NMA, u've left me clueless! Whats going on! lol
Can we have a bit more info/specifics?
My mind is wandering with too many random ideas of how they could be connected/similar...
and what's an empire got to do with it? lol
Waiting impatiently for some clues, Rashid

AA,
This is another interesting question that NMA has managed to pose. Looking at the time now, and being as tired as I am I'll probably end up making a complete hash of answering it, but here goes anyway.
In short; A Man, Wave, Fire, Tree & Mountain are firstly all 'Created' objects. Secondly they are all natural.
Where an Empire differs is that whilst it too is created, it is Man-made rather than the objects above (including us), which are Created by Allah (swt) Allmighty. Admitedly a Fire for example can be man-made, but can of course also be a natural occurrence.
Just a brief thought on this. Would be good to have a few clues.
WS,
Shayan

AA, "has managed to pose.." you make it sound like it takes effort Shayan, you are thinking along some good lines. But for you guys to think there is a paucity of clues is a little disheartening. Clues are all around you, you just have to notice them. Everyone does things for a reason. Start at the beginning and read through carefully. The first clue is rather early... wslm NMA

Alaikum alsalam, its been a long time since i've posted round here, is it anything to do with maybe the five things being mentioned in the qur'an and maybe empire not, only mentioned in hadeeth, maybe? or this could be incorrect? wasalam

AA, thank you Yasmin, for reviewing this. On your first suggestion, that Man, Wave, Fire, Tree and Mountain aree all mentioned in the Quran, but empire not. I think not. I believe all 6 are mentioned in the Quran, although I could not quote exactly where, I could suggest where. We can look it up, that would be interesting. As to the second, you are exactly right. The first clue is in the title. Well done!!! Now you have found the first clue, all you have to do is work out what it means! Please proceed with your working here wslm NMA
