In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

     Overwhelming Signs of God
[Quran 2:164] In the creation of the heavens and the earth, the alternation of night and day, the ships that roam the ocean for the benefit of the people, the water that GOD sends down from the sky to revive dead land and to spread in it all kinds of creatures, the manipulation of the winds, and the clouds that are placed between the sky and the earth, there are sufficient proofs for people who understand.

God blessed us with so many proofs in the heavens and the earth. All we have to do is look around us and reflect (Quran 3:190-191). Who made the air we breathe every moment? Where did the water all creatures drink come from? What if the earth did not rotate and there was no night and day? Or if the sun were hotter? Or if it were not as hot? What if we had no oceans or were not blessed with the knowledge to make ships?

The more we reflect, the more we appreciate.


[Quran 45:3-5] The heavens and the earth are full of proofs for the believers. Also in your creation and the creation of all the animals, there are proofs for people who are certain. Also, the alternation of the night and the day, and the provisions that GOD sends down from the sky to revive dead lands, and the manipulation of the winds; all these are proofs for people who understand.


The heavens and the earth are full of proofs (Quran 45:3). Can we think of a few to thank Him for?
