”And say:“ All praise is due to God. He will show you His signs and you will recognize them. ” And your Lord is not careless of what you do. ” (Quran 27:93)
“This is a rally to people so that they can be warned and know that only He is the only God and that those who have reason should be warned. ” (Quran 14:52)
In numerous other verses, God emphasizes that one of the decisive reasons for the revelation of the Quran is the invitation of people to think.
In the Quran, God urges people to reject and think blindly accepting the beliefs and values that society imposes on them by shedding all prejudices, taboos and constraints.
You have to think about how you came into existence, what the meaning of this life is, why we will die and what awaits us after death. One has to ask the question of how the whole universe was created and how it continues to exist. While doing this, you should free yourself from all constraints and prejudices.
If you think and release your consciousness completely from all social, ideological and psychological obligations, you may find that this whole universe, including yourself, was created by a higher power. Even if you just look at your own body or anything else from nature, you will see impressive harmony, planning and wisdom at work.
As for this point, the Quran guides man. In the Quran, God guides us about what to think about and what to research. With the methods of reasoning mentioned in the Quran, those who have faith will better perceive God’s perfection, eternal wisdom, knowledge and power in His creation. When a believer begins to think as shown in the Quran, he will soon realize that the entire universe is a sign of God’s power and artistry, and that „nature is a work of art, but not the artist itself is „. Each work of art reveals the extraordinary craftsmanship of the person who made it and conveys its messages.
In the Quran, people are asked to think about numerous events and things that clearly testify to the existence and uniqueness of God and His qualities. In the Quran, all beings who testify are marked as „signs“, which means „verified evidence, absolute knowledge and expression of truth“. Therefore, the signs of God encompass all beings in the universe so that they bring to light and communicate the existence and qualities of God. Those who can observe and think will find that the entire universe is composed of the signs of God.
Indeed, this is the responsibility of mankind: to be able to recognize the signs of God. Then such a person is enabled to get to know the Creator, who created them and all other things, to approach Him and discover the meaning of their existence and their life and thus become successful.
Every thing, every breath a person takes, political and social developments, the harmony of the universe, the atom, which is one of the tiniest particles of matter, are all signs of God and they work under His control and are subject to His laws. In order to recognize and get to know the signs of God, everyone has to make an effort. You can only grasp the signs of God with your own wisdom and consciousness.
Certain guidelines can undoubtedly help you. As a first step, one can explore certain points that are emphasized in the Quran to arrive at a mentality that sees the entire universe as an assembly of the things that God has created.
God’s signs in nature are emphasized in a chapter called „The Bee“:
“It is He who sends water down from the clouds; of this you have to drink, and from this grow the bushes on which you (your cattle) graze. With it He lets grain sprout for you and the olive tree and the date palm and the grapes and fruits of all kinds. Truly, that is a sign for thoughtful people. And He made the night and the day serve you and the sun and the moon; and the stars are at his command to serve. Verily, there are signs in it for people who have reason. And what He created for you on earth is varied in colors. Truly, this is a sign for people who are cautioned. And it is He who has made the sea available to you, so that you can eat tender meat from it and extract jewelry from it in order to put it on you. And you see how the ships sail through it, so that you may seek His favor and that you may be thankful. And He has established solid mountains on earth so that they do not waver with you, and rivers and paths so that you may go right; and (He has) signs (created); and through the stars they find the direction. Now is he who creates creates equal to the one who does not create? Don’t you want to be admonished? ” (Quran 16: 10-17)
In the Quran, God invites intelligent people to think about things that other people overlook or disregard by using such poor terms as „evolution“, „chance meeting“ or „wonder of nature“.
In the creation of the heavens and the earth and in the alternation of night and day are signs for intelligent people: those who remember God standing, sitting and lying on their side and think about the creation of heaven and earth:
“Our Lord , You didn’t create this for nothing. You are praised, so beware of the punishment of fire. ” (Quran 3: 191)
As we see in these verses, intelligent people see the signs of God and try to understand His eternal knowledge, power and art by remembering and thinking about them, because God’s knowledge knows no boundaries and His creation is free of mistakes .
For people who understand, everything that surrounds them is a sign of this creation.
