Answer 1

Praise be to Allah who is such that it is not possible to describe the reality of knowledge about Him, since His greatness has restrained the intellects, and therefore they cannot find the way to approach the extremity of His realm. He is Allah, the True, the Manifester of Truth. He is more True and more Manifest than eyes can see. Intellects cannot comprehend Him by fixing limits for Him since in that case to Him would be attributed shape. Imagination cannot catch Him by fixing quantities for Him for in that case to Him would be attributed body. He created creatures without any example, and without the advice of a counsel, or the assistance of a helper. His creation was completed by His command, and bowed to His obedience. It responded (to Him) and did not defy (Him). It obeyed and did not resist.

An example of His delicate production, wonderful creation and deep sagacity which He has shown us is found in these bats which keep hidden in the daylight although daylight reveals everything else, and are mobile in the night although the night shuts up every other living being; and how their eyes get dazzled and cannot make use of the light of the sun so as to be guided in their movements and so as to reach their known places through the direction provided by the sun.

Allah has prevented them from moving in the brightness of the sun and confined them to their places of hiding instead of going out at the time of its shining. Consequently they keep their eyelids down in the day and treat night as a lamp and go with its help in search of their livelihood. The darkness of night does not obstruct their sight nor does the gloom of darkness prevent them from movement. As soon as the sun removes its veil and the light of morning appears, and the rays of its light enter upon the lizards in their holes, the bats pull down their eyelids on their eyes and live on what they had collected in the darkness of the night. Glorified is He who has made the night as day for them to seek livelihood and made the day for rest and stay.

He has given them wings of flesh with which, at the time of need they rise upwards for flying. They look like the ends of ears without feathers or bones. Of course, you can see the veins quite distinctly. They have two wings which are neither too thin so that they get turned in flying, nor too thick so that they prove heavy. When they fly, their young ones hold on to them and seek refuge with them, getting down when they get down and rising up when they rise. The young does not leave them till its limbs become strong, its wings can support it for rising up, and it begins to recognise its places of living and its interest. Glorified is He who creates everything without any previous sample by someone else.

Answer 2

Ones personal philosophy's can really give some wild ideas about the meaning of nature. Like it's a really a deep subject.
Keep it simple and truthful.

Nature:
The basic makeup or constitution of something. It can refer to what a person is by birth, also to hereditary qualities along with general practice. At times it refers to the physical urges of an organism. Translators generally render the Greek words phy´sis and phy·si·kos´ (the adjective form) as “nature” and “natural,” respectively.

Answer 4

In Islam the concept of human nature is reflected in the Arabic word "Fitrah". Here is a brief explanation of the Hadith (narration/saying) of the Prophet Muhammad-

All of the children of Adam are born upon the "Fitrah" (natural inclination to God and Loyalty to Him). Except that their parents chrsitinaize them, Judaize them or make them into Polythesits."(Bukhari)

Man is created with the inherent belief in and connection to his Creator. It is a part of human nature to acknowledge the existence of God. This is called his 'Fitrah'. This fact comes without argument since it is well known that between 80% and 90% of mankind has believed in a God throughout history. Most of them believing in an Almighty Creator. God Almighty relates for us:

"And (mention) when your Lord took a covenant from Adam's progeny; asking them 'Am I not your Lord' They replied 'Yes we have now testified.' This is lest you say on the Day of Resurrection 'Truly, we were unaware'." Or that you might say, "It was only our fathers who associated other in worship with God before us and we were just their descendents after them."(Qur'an 7:172-173)

However, Satan and his followers in the society constantly work to deviate man from this natural inclination. Living a long time under certain environmental and cultural circumstances would make the individual confused or maybe convinced in accepting many things that are far away from the truth of what God wanted.
The Qur'an tells us:

"And by the soul and That which created it and then He inspired it (the soul) with what is corruptive and harmful to it (the soul) as well as what is beneficial and protective to it. Indeed he has succeeded who purifies it from corruption and harm, and truly in loss is the one who corrupted it.(Qur'an 91:7-10)

According to the previous verses, we are all inspired with pure monotheism and the knowledge of the basics of the lawful and the prohibited. However, God still opens the gate of guidance wide for everyone. God loves for people to have a pure faith and to follow the straight path, yet He left the choice up to him (man):

And as for Thamud we guided them, but they preferred their blindness to clear guidance and they received a great punishment for their decision (Qur'an 41:17)

To reject the truth, despite the multitude of its clear proofs, is the greatest injustice man can do against himself.

...so whoever accepts the Guidance, he does it only for his own self, and whoever goes astray, he goes astray only for his own loss... (Qur'an 39:41).

Sorry for the length hope its what you were looking for.
