So that various crops of grains and vegetables can grow;

As well as thick and dense gardens.

Surrah Fâtir - ORIGNATOR - No.35 - Verse: 27 - 28

(Obedient and rational people wonder why such benevolent, clear and eye-opening knowledge was opposed? And even now it continues to be opposed. However this is not all that strange. People’s mind-set and attitudes are different from each other, and you will see this everywhere. This can be eliminated by following Divine Guidance.)Don't you see how water comes down from the clouds, following which different fruits of varied colours are produced. (It does not happen that all fruits and crops are the same.) And look at the mountains. Although you observe streaks of white and various shades of red as well as others which are jet black, these mountains are basically the same. verse 27

The same applies to men, animals and cattle of various kinds. Such creations of nature are living proof of the working of Divine Laws. However only those who reflect over them with intellect and reason bow in submission to Him. Only they deserve to be called 'the scholars'; and only they can comprehend how over-powering and supreme Allah's Law is. Whoever lives accordingly is provided with sufficient means of protection. verse 28

Surrah An-Nahl - THE BEE - No.16 - Verse: 14 -16

Allah Almighty has also subjected to you the sea so that, out of it, you may have fresh food and also what you use as your ornaments. You see how the ships plow through the sea carrying you forward in quest of His bounties so that your efforts may fructify. verse 14

Allah Almighty has formed the earth in such a way that you may sit on it firmly while it revolves. He has also created mountains and rivers and land tracks so that you may reach your destination (21/31, 31/10). verse 15

And He has created (various other) landmarks - also the stars to serve as sign-posts as guidance during your journey (during the night).
verse 16

Surrah An-Nazi'ât - SNATCHERS - No.79 - Verse: 28 - 33

Allah Almighty created these huge bodies high up in space. He then gave them balance and equilibrium so that they would remain stable and continue on their path. verse 28

And in space, He made the night dark and brought forth light during daytime. verse 29

Next look at the earth. Earth and all the other celestial bodies were one mass, the Nebula. The earth was taken and thrown out of this, just like a stone being propelled away by a catapult (21:30)3. verse 30

The was taken from the oceans by distillation (to regions of dry land). Thereafter We made vegetation grow in these regions;
verse 31

And raised huge and firm mountains in these regions. verse 32

And We fashioned the entire system in a way that it would produce means of sustenance for you and your cattle. (Land is the source for producing sustenance. One can benefit from it but not become its owner.) verse 33

Surrah Yûnus - JONAH - No.10 - Verse: 5

He has designed the sun as shining glow and the moon which reflects light and appointed stages for the moon so that you may reckon time and mark the number of years. Allah Almighty has not created this otherwise than in accordance with truth (to fulfil a definite purpose according to His plans). He explains His laws clearly to a people of understanding. verse 5

Surrah Al-Anbiyâ -THE PROPHETS - No.21 - Verse: 30 - 32

(Out of their sheer ignorance some people take natural phenomena as deities or divinities. This is despite the fact the entire continuum of the universe has been created by Allah Almighty and remains fervently in action according to His given programme. At present various phenomena in the universe appear to them as functioning separately from one another, but) Do they not seriously understand that in the initial stages of creation all of them were one mass which We then parted, so that the various celestial bodies started floating in their own orbits (21:33; 36:40). (Take for example the planet earth. In its initial stages it separated from the original mass, just like a stone thrown out from a catapult ~ 79:30.) Later (when the earth became ready to bear or produce living things) We started life from water. (All living things are created from a mixture of water ~ 24:45. And over this fountain of life Allah Almighty has kept His own control ~ 11:7.)It is strange that even after all this explanation, they do not believe that only Allah Almighty wields absolute sovereignty over everything in the
universe. verse 30

And We have made earth such that as it continuously revolves, people live on it undisturbed (16:15). Furthermore on it we made firm mountains (which function like water reservoirs and hold minerals for your use); and valleys and ravines which are used as
passageways. verse 31

And over the earth We created an atmosphere which is safe in itself and which keeps the inhabitants protected[2] (from the destruction caused by meteors falling from above). These are all open visible signs (pointing to the reality that all physical things are working under the Divine Laws; and that no one else has any power or authority over them). Inspite of this, people insist on turning away from
these facts. verse 32

Surrah Al-Hashr - BANISHMENT - No.59 - Verse: 24

Allah Almighty is the Creator of everything. Such is the pattern of His creative activity that He starts the process from its initial stage, then passes it through various evolutionary stages of development so that unnecessary elements wither away, when it finally takes a particular form that distinguishes it from other things. (At that stage you say that a thing has been created.)

The above are some of the Divine attributes. All these attributes, in their most proportionate, perfect and highest form, are concentrated in His Being. Such is His system that everything in the heavens and on earth, is busily fulfilling His designated programme. He alone is the possessor of all might; and His might is based on absolute wisdom.(This is Allah, whose Book is the Quran. It is obvious that the Book of the Almighty who has these attributes, would also have these magnificent qualities. Also as far as is humanly possible, these Divine attributes would also be reflected in the personality of the people who follow this Book. They would stand as guarantors of universal peace and prosperity.) verse 24

Surrah Al-Baqarah - THE COW - No.2 - Verse: 164

If you wish to see the Laws of Allah Almighty operating, reflect upon the amazing machinery of the Universe and how it has been created; how day and night alternate; how such big ships laden with cargo cross the oceans; how clean water descends from the clouds and gives new life to the dead earth. Reflect, also upon the manner in which species and varieties of animate beings are scattered through the earth; how winds change their direction in different seasons; and how clouds are marshalled to perform their assigned duties in the atmosphere.

Reflection upon these natural phenomena can lead only to one conclusion, namely, that creation has been planned and is controlled by a single Omnipotent Being. This conclusion, however, is reached only by those who apply their mind deeply. verse 164

Surrah Al-Ghâshiyah - OVERWHELMING -Verse: 17 - 21

(The reality of how a society functioning according to the Divine Laws keeps on producing pleasant and wonderful results, can only be understood and appreciated by the one who ponders over how perfectly the outer universe works according to the Divine Laws, producing correct and excellent results. For this purpose) They should see:(i) How water-laden clouds are formed. (The salty sea water is turned into clear and sweet water; and clouds suspended all around become sources of succulence for the whole world.) verse 17

And how the huge cosmic bodies suspended in space continue revolving. verse 18

And how the lofty mountains stay firmly fixed (while the earth rotates so fast). verse 19

And how (beautifully) the earth itself is spread out (so much so that you do not even feel that it is spherical and continuously
in motion). verse 20

After inviting their attention to these wonderful phenomena of nature) You should present Quranic teachings to them; for it is your duty and responsibility to present the Quran. verse 21

Surrah TâHâ - TA-HA - No.88 - Verse: 6

The entire awe-inspiring universe, from the highest point to the lowest depths, is busy fulfilling His destined programme. (The objective of this control is that everything in the universe should continue receiving nourishment ~ 1:2 ~ and every action should produce the correct and appropriate result ~ 45:22.) verse 6

Surrah An-Nahl - THE BEE - No.16 - Verse: 10 -13 & 15 - 17

Reverting to natural phenomena, Allah Almighty sends down water from above which you drink and by it grow the herbage on which you graze your cattle. verse 10

It also causes crops and olives, date-palms, grapes and all kinds of fruit to grow for you. In this system there is message for those
who reflect. verse 11

And He has marshalled to your service the night and the day, the sun and the moon, and the stars have also been made subservient by His command. They all function according to His laws. In these also there are signs for those who use their reason. verse 12

And He has created for you in the earth varied kinds of things. In this also there is a sign for those who can appreciate
Allah’s order. verse 13

Allah Almighty has formed the earth in such a way that you may sit on it firmly while it revolves. He has also created mountains and rivers and land tracks so that you may reach your destination (21/31, 31/10). verse 15

And He has created (various other) landmarks - also the stars to serve as sign-posts as guidance during your journey
(during the night). verse 16

Can One who creates and one who cannot, be placed on the same footing? Can you not reflect o this? verse 17

Surrah Qâf - THE LETTER QAF - No.50 - Verse: 6 - 7 & 9 - 10

(If they cannot reflect over life after death or the Law of Mukafat as these are imperceptible facts, they can at least ponder over the universe which is perceivable; and see how this most amazing system is in operation according to divinely ordained laws. Allah's Law is prevalent everywhere.) Tell them that they can see the huge limitless space over them and the various cosmic bodies floating therein. See how We have fashioned them and how beautifully We have adorned this ‘ceiling'. They will not find any flaws therein (67:3). verse 6

And see how We have stretched the earth (inspite of it being spherical) and the huge mountains set firmly upon it (which besides providing other benefits are an important link in the earth’s water supply system). We have also caused the earth to grow beautiful plants of various kinds. verse 7

We also cause water to rain down from clouds. The water brings a multitude of blessings, causing fruits to grow in gardens and grain crops in the fields; verse 9

And lofty date-palms with layers of thickly clustered
dates. verse 10

Surrah Al-Anbiyâ - THE PROPHETS - No.21 - Verse: 31-32

And We have made earth such that as it continuously revolves, people live on it undisturbed (16:15). Furthermore on it we made firm mountains (which function like water reservoirs and hold minerals for your use); and valleys and ravines which are used as
passageways. verse 31

And over the earth We created an atmosphere which is safe in itself and which keeps the inhabitants protected[2] (from the destruction caused by meteors falling from above). These are all open visible signs (pointing to the reality that all physical things are working under the Divine Laws; and that no one else has any power or authority over them). Inspite of this, people insist on turning away from
these facts. verse 32

Surrah Az-Zukhruf - ORNAMENTS OF GOLD -Verse: 10-12

(It is true that the universe has been created by Him) God has made the earth a resting place for you; and He has made various paths in it so that you may reach your destinations. verse 10

And it is He Who sends down rain from the clouds in due measure, thus giving life to dead land.Likewise, Allah Almighty has made arrangements to give you new life through the guidance in this Quran. verse 11

He has created things of different kinds; and also made for you boats and animals for you to ride on (so that you can reach
your destination) verse 12

Surrah ArRûm - THE ROMANS - No.30 -Verse: 48

In this connection recall once again the simile of winds. He sends the winds which after creating commotion in the water-vapours, raise them up in the form of clouds. Thereafter, according to His Laws of Nature, He spreads them throughout the expanse of the atmosphere and eventually causes them to break up into fragments. Then you see the drops of rain fall from within them. This is how rainfall comes down on those living on earth; and how much they rejoice in it. verse 48

Surrah Al-Furqân - THE STANDARD - No.25 -Verse: 48-50

(The system of growing produce on land is also based on this Divine Law.) He sends forth the winds heralding the glad tidings of rainfall, which produces means of nourishment for every living being. From the clouds He pours down water which is free of impurities, and which in turn removes other impurities. verse 48

(The objective of rain is not only for people to wash themselves with.) With the rain We give new life to dead land (greenery comes out of barren lands); and it is used for drinking by many of Our creations, including cattle and human beings. verse 49

This is Our Law (for the universe) which We have repeatedly presented in different ways, so that people may understand (the fact that when everything in the universe obeys His Laws and produces constructive results; then if human beings also do so, they too would achieve similar results). However, in spite of this, most people think nothing of Divine Laws and
are rebellious. verse 50

Surrah Al-Hijr - STONELAND - No.15 -Verse:19 - 22

The earth is also one of the planets which has been spread out and revolves nevertheless (31/10). Mountains are fixed therein and everything is caused to grow from it in a nicely balanced manner and it provides sustenance for you and for those who do not depend on you for sustenance. verse 19-20

Means of sustenance are abundantly stored in the earth but may be taken out only in due measure. For instance, We send moisture-laden winds and rain pours down from them. This provides water for your drink. It was not possible for you to have stored all that in the earth (56/63- 74). verse 21-22

Surrah Fâtir - ORIGNATOR - No.35 -Verse:27 - 28

Surrah Al-Jâthiya - CROUCHING - No.45 -Verse:5

And in the rotation of night and day; in rain that comes down from the clouds and gives new life to dead land; and winds that change direction as per fixed timings. In all these there are signs showing truthfulness of the Divine Laws; but only for those who use their intellect and reason. verse 5

Surrah Al-Hajj - THE PILGRIMAGE - No.22 -Verse:63

The law that produces constructive results (in the universe) can be witnessed by how He sends down rain from the clouds, following which the earth turns lush green. Certainly it is only Allah Almighty who is fully aware, in the finest and most imperceptible ways, of the circumstances and capabilities of
everything. verse 63

Surrah YâSîn - YA-SEEN - No.36 -Verse:80

It is God’s Law of Mashiyat which keeps moisture and heat combined in the green branches of the trees (that is the flames are hidden within the branches). When the branch is ignited you can see this fire with your own eyes. (Can He not preserve the energy of life in a similar manner?) verse 80

Surrah An-Naml - THE ANT - No.27 -Verse:88

Then you will see the big mighty lords, whose might you thought was so immensely strong, that there was no one who could move them away from their base. These lords will become so weak and light, that they will float like clouds which are being carried away by gusts of wind. All this will happen as per the Divine Law of Mukafat the Law of Allah Almighty who has created everything in a stable and appropriate way. (As such, man-made laws and ways of living will not be able to face the Divine Laws.) And He knows fully well what you do and what the result of these deeds shall be. verse 88

Surrah Ar-Rahmân - THE MERCY GIVING -Verse:19 - 20

Now come down from outer space on to earth and see the rivers and their flowing waters. At certain points two different streams of water flow together side by side (and sometimes the two streams of water flow inside the sea). However, it never happens that both these waters join up, as an invisible interstice between them keeps them apart (25:53; 35:12). (This is how instead of going on their own way that selfish people transgress on the rights of others. It is to stop them that Quranic Laws
are given.) verse 19-20
