[16:17] Is One who creates like
one who does not create? Would you now take heed?
It is prophesied in God's final scripture that His
proofs are going to overwhelm all human beings until
they realize and witness His truth.
[40:13] He is the One who
continuously shows you His proofs,
and sends down to you from the sky provisions.
Only those who totally submit will be able to take heed.
A Great Prophecy*
[41:53] We will show them
our proofs in the horizons, and within
themselves, until they realize that
this is the truth.* Is your Lord not sufficient
as a witness of all things?
[27:93] And say, "Praise
be to GOD; He will show you His proofs, until you
recognize them. Your Lord is never unaware of
anything you do."
Since the time of Adam, the Most Merciful has been
sending his prophets and messengers with clear proofs
and scriptures to get us out of the dark and help us
reach deep inside ourselves for the monotheistic
instinct He sent us to earth with. He also perfected His
blessings within us and all around us so we can witness
His presence and reach the conviction that He must
be the Supreme One Creator. Those who are duped by Satan
walk through earth totally oblivious to God's truth, as
if He never gave them the hearing, the eyesight and the
brain. They can never comprehend His proofs no matter
how clear and awesome they are. Unfortunately, God
already informed us that most people are either blind to
His proofs or they slide back after witnessing them.
Once this decision is made, it is a divine law that they
are to be kept in the dark.
[10:101] Say, "Look at all the
signs in the heavens and the earth." All the
proofs and all the warnings can never help people who
decided to disbelieve.
[47:25] Surely, those who
slide back, after the guidance has been manifested to
them, the devil has enticed them and
led them on.
Divine Intervention
Keeps the Disbelievers in the Dark
[7:146] I will divert from My
revelations those who are arrogant on earth, without
justification. Consequently,
when they see every kind of proof they will not believe.
And when they see the path of guidance they will not
adopt it as their path, but when they see the path of
straying they will adopt it as their path. This is the
consequence of their rejecting our proofs, and being
totally heedless thereof.
[6:25] Some of them listen to
you, but we place veils on their hearts
to prevent them from understanding, and deafness
in their ears. Thus, no matter what
kind of proof they see, they cannot believe.
Thus, when they come to argue with you, the disbelievers
say, "These are tales from the past."
[3:86] Why should GOD guide
people who disbelieved after believing, and
after witnessing that the messenger is truth, and after
solid proofs* have been given to them? GOD does
not guide the wicked.
Based on all the above, it is easy to conclude that
God's proofs are to be witnessed and appreciated ONLY by
the believers (45:3). Praise be to God for fulfilling
His promise and constantly showing us His solid proofs.
He counted the following among them so we can reflect
and glorify Him:
[42:29] Among His proofs
is the creation of the heavens and the
earth, and the creatures He spreads in
them. He is able to summon them, when He wills.
[45:3] The heavens and
the earth are full of proofs for the
believers.
[45:4] Also in your
creation, and the creation of all the
animals, there are proofs for people
who are certain.
[45:5] 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.
[45:13] He committed in
your service everything in the heavens and the
earth; all from Him. These are
proofs for people who reflect.
[10:6] Surely, in the
alternation of night and day, and what GOD
created in the heavens and the earth, there are
proofs for people who are righteous.
[10:67] He is the One who
rendered the night for your rest, and rendered the day
lighted. These are proofs for people who can hear.
[13:3] He is the One who
constructed the earth and placed on it
mountains and rivers. And from the different
kinds of fruits, He made them into pairs
- males and females. The night overtakes the day.
These are solid proofs for people who think.
[13:4] On earth, there are
adjacent lots that produce orchards of grapes, crops,
palm trees - dioecious and non-dioecious.
Although they are irrigated with the same water, we
prefer some of them over others in eating.
These are solid proofs for people who
understand.
[16:10] He sends down
from the sky water for your drink, and to grow trees for
your benefit.
[16:11] With it, He grows for you
crops, olives, date palms, grapes, and all kinds of
fruits. This is (sufficient) proof for people
who think.
[16:12] And He commits, in your
service, the night and the day, as well as the sun and
the moon. Also, the stars are committed by His
command. These are (sufficient) proofs
for people who understand.
[16:13] And (He created)
for you on earth things of various colors.
This is a (sufficient) proof for people who take
heed.
[16:14] And He committed the sea
to serve you; you eat from it tender meat, and
extract jewelry which you wear. And you see the
ships roaming it for your commercial benefits,
as you seek His bounties, that you may be appreciative.
[16:15] And He placed
stabilizers (mountains) on earth, lest it
tumbles with you, as well as rivers and
roads, that you may be guided.
[16:16] And landmarks, as
well as the stars; to be used for navigation.
[16:17] Is One who
creates like one who does not create? Would you now take
heed?
Additional Proofs From God
[16:65] GOD sends down from the
sky water to revive the land after it
had died. This should be (sufficient) proof for
people who hear.
[16:66] And in the
livestock there is a lesson for you: we provide
you with a drink from their bellies. From the midst of
digested food and blood, you get pure milk, delicious
for the drinkers.
[16:67] And from the fruits of
date palms and grapes you produce intoxicants, as well
as good provisions. This should be (sufficient)
proof for people who understand.
The Bee
[16:68] And your Lord
inspired the bee: build homes in mountains and
trees, and in (the hives) they build for you.
[16:69] Then eat from all the
fruits, following the design of your Lord, precisely.
From their bellies comes a drink of different
colors, wherein there is healing for the people.
This should be (sufficient) proof for people who
reflect.*
[16:79] Do they not see
the birds committed to fly in the atmosphere of
the sky? None holds them up in the air except
GOD. This should be (sufficient) proof
for people who believe.
[16:80] And GOD provided for you
stationary homes where you can live. And He
provided for you portable homes made of the
hides of livestock, so you can use them when
you travel, and when you settle down. And from
their wools, furs, and hair, you make furnishings and
luxuries for awhile.
[16:81] And GOD provided for you
shade through things which He created,
and provided for you shelters in the mountains,
and provided for you garments that protect you
from heat, and garments that protect
when you fight in wars. He thus
perfects His blessings upon you, that you may submit.
[20:53] He is the One who made
the earth habitable for you, and paved
in it roads for you. And He sends down from the sky
water with which we produce many different kinds of
plants.
[20:54] Eat and raise your
livestock. These are sufficient proofs for those
who possess intelligence.*
[25:61] Most blessed is the One
who placed constellations in the sky,
and placed in it a lamp, and a
shining moon.
[25:62] He is the One who
designed the night and the day to alternate: a
sufficient proof for those who wish to take heed, or to
be appreciative.
[30:20] Among His proofs
is that He created you from dust, then you became
reproducing humans.
[30:21] Among His proofs
is that He created for you spouses from
among yourselves, in order to have tranquility and
contentment with each other, and He placed in your
hearts love and care towards your spouses. In this,
there are sufficient proofs for people who think.
[30:22] Among His proofs
are the creation of the heavens and the earth,
and the variations in your languages and your
colors. In these, there are signs for
the knowledgeable.
[30:23] Among His proofs
is your sleeping during the night or the day, and your
working in pursuit of His provisions. In this,
there are sufficient proofs for people who can hear.
[30:24] Among His proofs
is that He shows you the lightning as a
source of fear, as well as hope, then He sends down from
the sky water to revive a land that has been dead. In
these, there are sufficient proofs for people
who understand.
[30:25] Among His proofs
is that the heaven and the earth are standing at His
disposal. Finally, when He calls you out of the earth,
one call, you will immediately come out.
[30:46] Among His proofs
is that He sends the winds with good
omen, to shower you with His mercy, and to allow the
ships to run in the sea in accordance with His rules,
and for you to seek His bounties (through commerce),
that you may be appreciative.
[42:32] Among His
proofs are the ships that sail the
sea with sails like flags.
[42:33] If He willed, He
could have stilled the winds, leaving them
motionless on top of the water. These are
proofs for those who are steadfast, appreciative.
[31:31] Do you not see
that the ships roam the sea, carrying GOD's provisions,
to show you some of His proofs? Indeed,
these should be sufficient proofs for everyone who is
steadfast, appreciative.
[41:39] Among His proofs
is that you see the land still, then, as soon as
we shower it with water, it vibrates with life.
Surely, the One who revived it can revive the dead. He
is Omnipotent.
We are surrounded by His blessings. Every moment of our
daily life is a balanced and perfect complex of solid
proofs. As specified in all the above examples, this is
only to be realized by the appreciative believers. As
for the blinded ones ..... ... .. .
[10:34] Say, "Can any of
your idols initiate creation, then repeat it?"
Say, "GOD initiates the creation, then repeats
it." How could you deviate?
[10:35] Say, "Does any of
your idols guide to the truth?" Say, "GOD
guides to the truth. Is one who guides
to the truth more worthy of being followed, or one who
does not guide, and needs guidance for himself?
What is wrong with your judgment?"
[2:209] If you
backslide, after the clear proofs have come to you,
then know that GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.
[2:210] Are they
waiting until GOD Himself comes to them in dense
clouds, together with the angels?
When this happens, the whole matter will be
terminated, and to GOD everything will be returned.*
[40:81] He thus shows you
His proofs. Which of GOD's proofs can you deny?
Peaceful Friday, salaam and May God bless you.
