SIGNS ON EARTH
One verse tells us that God "created everything and determined it most exactly" (Qur'an, 25:2). There are countless signs present on Earth of this perfect order. All living and non-living things and systems on Earth clearly display this order, proving with their perfect structure that they could not possibly have come into existence by accident or coincidence, but were created.
The distance between the Sun and the Earth, the ideal levels of gases in the atmosphere, the rays of sunshine which are perfect for allowing photosynthesis, the fixing effect of mountains on the Earth, the formation of night and day, the fact that water is so suitable for life, the presence of animals, fruits, vegetables, clouds, wind, the amazing features of our body cells, the structure of DNA… All of these are just a few examples of God's superior artistry, showing us His limitless power.
God revolves night and day. There is surely a lesson in that for people with inner sight. (Qur'an, 24:44) It is He Who made the night a cloak for you and sleep a rest, and He made the day a time for rising. (Qur'an, 25:47) | And [I swear] by the night when it draws in and by the dawn when it exhales. (Qur'an, 81:17-18) |
... He covers the day with the night, each pursuing the other urgently; and the Sun and Moon and stars are subservient to His command... (Qur'an, 7:54) It is He Who created night and day and the Sun and Moon, each one swimming in a sphere. (Qur'an, 21:33) | It is He Who created everything on the Earth for you and then directed His attention up to heaven and arranged it into seven regular heavens. He has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 2:29) Everything in the heavens and the Earth belongs to God. He knows what you are engaged upon. On the Day when they are returned to Him, He will inform them of what they did... (Qur'an, 24:64) |
You will see the mountains you reckoned to be solid going past like clouds - the handiwork of God Who gives to everything its solidity. He is aware of what you do. (Qur'an, 27:88) | He Who created the heavens and the Earth and everything in between them in six days, and then established Himself firmly on the Throne; the All-Merciful - ask anyone who is informed about Him. (Qur'an, 25:59) Everything in the heavens and Earth belongs to God. God is the Rich Beyond Need, the Praiseworthy. (Qur'an, 31:26) |
He has made night and day subservient to you, and the Sun and Moon and stars, all subject to His command. There are certainly signs in that for people who use their intellect. (Qur'an, 16:12) | And also the things of varying colors He has created for you in the Earth. There is certainly a sign in that for people who pay heed. (Qur'an, 16:13) |
Everyone in the heavens and Earth belongs to Him. All are submissive to Him. It is He Who originated creation and then regenerates it. That is very easy for Him. His is the most exalted designation in the heavens and the Earth. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Qur'an, 30:26-27) | God is He Who created the heavens and the Earth and everything between them in six days and then established Himself firmly upon the Throne. You have no protector or intercessor apart from Him. So will you not pay heed? (Qur'an, 32:4) Don't those who do not believe see that the heavens and the Earth were sewn together and then We unstitched them and that We made from water every living thing? So will they not believe? (Qur'an, 21:30) |
He Who created the heavens and the Earth and sends down water for you from the sky by which We make luxuriant gardens grow | you could never make their trees grow. Is there another deity besides God? No indeed, but they are people who equate others with Him! (Qur'an, 27:60) |
[God is the] Lord of the heavens and the Earth and everything between them, the Almighty, the Endlessly Forgiving. (Qur'an, 38:66) The keys of the heavens and Earth belong to Him. He expands the provision of anyone He wills or restricts it. He has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 42:12) | Whatever you have been given is only the enjoyment of the life of this world. What is with God is better and longer lasting for those who believe and trust in their Lord. (Qur'an, 42:36) Blessed be Him to Whom belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and the Earth and everything in between them. The knowledge of the Hour is with Him. You will be returned to Him. (Qur'an, 43:85) |
If you were to ask them: "Who created the heavens and the Earth?" they would reply: "The Almighty, the All-Knowing created them." It is He Who made the Earth a cradle for you and made pathways for you in it so that hopefully you would be guided. (Qur'an, 43:9-10) | We place in it gardens of dates and grapes, and cause springs to gush out in it, so they may eat its fruits - they did not do it themselves. So will they not be thankful? (Qur'an, 36:34-35) |
It is God Who created the heavens with no support - you can see them - and cast firmly embedded mountains on the Earth so that it would not move under you... (Qur'an, 31:10) And the Earth: how We stretched it out and cast firmly embedded mountains onto it and caused luxuriant plants of every kind to grow in it. (Qur'an, 50:7) | Glory be to Him Who created all the pairs: from what the earth produces and from themselves and from things unknown to them. (Qur'an, 36:36) All praise belongs to God, the Lord of the heavens and the Lord of the Earth, Lord of all the worlds. All greatness belongs to Him in the heavens and Earth. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Qur'an, 45:36-37) |
It is He Who created the heavens and the Earth in six days, then established Himself firmly on the Throne. He knows what goes into the Earth and what comes out of it, what comes down from heaven and what goes up into it. He is with you wherever you are... (Qur'an, 57:4) | We sent down heaven upon them in abundant rain and made rivers flow under them... (Qur'an, 6:6) ... [He will] grant you gardens and grant you waterways. (Qur'an, 71:12) |
