Contemplative practices of nature can lead to a state of consciousness in which the natural world unfolds as a self-disclosure of God, evoking wonder, reverence and profound love for the Divine. In the Islamic tradition, nature is understood as a sacred book -overflowing with signs (āyāt), offering an existential ground through which the Divine names and attributes can be known and emulated. These contemplative practices in Islam - tafakkur being an important example- are considered a means to bring individuals towards greater alignment with the Divine order and foster an ethical engagement with their surroundings in this world. Moreover, contemplative practices can help human beings decipher and join in the glorification of the cosmos. This state of existence, in turn, will actualise its perfect form hereafter, according to the Qur'an. Praise, glorification, and peace will be the main components of the Garden and communication between God and humanity. This paper explores Islamic contemplative practices—primarily focusing on tafakkur in nature—examining their transformative effects on consciousness, ethical living, and the cultivation of an ultimate capacity for praising God in both this world and the hereafter. The second part of this paper explores how Islamic tradition envisions an ideal state of existence facilitated by these practices, fostering harmony between humanity and nature despite humanity's potential for corruption.
