Verses 52-55 of Chapter 20:

Moses replied, "The knowledge of that is with my Lord, secure in a writing; my Lord neither errs nor forgets." He it is Who has spread the earth as a bed for you, and made paths for you to move about (from place to place); He sent down rain water from above and produced different kinds of vegetation: eat of these and graze your cattle. Surely there is many a Sign in this for those who possess common sense. We have created you from this earth and We will return you into it and then will bring you forth out of it once again.

Verses 78-79 of Chapter 16:

Allah brought you out of your mothers' wombs in this state that you knew nothing: He gave you ears and eyes and thinking minds so that you may be grateful. Have they never observed how the birds are poised in the vault of heaven? Who holds them up but Allah? There are many Signs in this for those people who believe.

Verses 65-69 of Chapter 16:

Allah sent down water from heaven, and by it gave life to the earth after it had been dead: indeed there is a Sign in this for those who listen (to the Message). And surely there is a lesson for you in the cattle: We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies between filth and blood, that is, pure milk, which is very pleasant to those who drink it. (Likewise) We give you from date-palms and vines a drink from which you derive intoxicants and also pure food: indeed there is a Sign in this for those who make use of their common sense. And behold! Your Lord has inspired the bee with this "Build thy hive in the mountains, trees and in the creepers over trellises: then drink nectar from every kind of fruit, and follow the ways made smooth by the Lord." From its belly comes out a fluid of varying hues wherein is healing for mankind. Here is indeed a Sign for those people who ponder over it.

Verses 10-16 of Chapter 16:

It is He, Who sends down for you water from the sky, which provides drinking water for you and brings forth fodder for your cattle. And thereby He grows for you crops and olives and date-palms and vines and different kinds of many other fruits. Surely there is a great Sign in this for those people who ponder. He has subjected to your service the day and the night and the sun and the moon: likewise all the stars are subjected by His Command. In this there are many Signs for those who make use of their common sense. And in the things of different colors He has created for you in the Earth, there is indeed a Sign for those who learn lessons from them. It is He Who has subjected the sea to your service so that you may get fresh flesh from it to eat and bring out of it articles of ornament, which you wear, and you see that the ship sails her course through it. He has done all this so that you may seek of His bounty and show gratitude to Him. He has driven mountains firmly into the earth lest it should turn away from its usual course along with you: He has caused rivers to flow and made natural ways so that you may be directed aright. He has placed landmarks to direct people, and by stars, too, they are directed aright.

Verses 19-22 of Chapter 15:

And We have spread out the earth, and have placed firm mountains in it, and caused all kinds of things to grow in it, in due proportion. And in it We have provided means of living, for you and for those whom you provide not. And there is not a thing, but the supplies for it are with Us, and We do not send it down but in a known measure. And We send the winds fertilizing, then We cause the water to descend from the sky, and We give it to you to drink, and it is not you who are the owners of its supply.

Verses 32-34 of Chapter 14:

Allah is He Who has created the heavens and the earth, and He sent down rain water from the sky where with He produced different kinds of fruits to provide you with food. It is He Who subdued the ship for you that it may sail in the seas by His order and likewise He subdued the rivers for you. It is He Who subdued the sun and the moon so that they should steadfastly pursue their courses and He subdued day and night for you. It is He Who fulfilled all your requirements; so much so that you cannot count His bounties, if you tried to number them. The fact is that man is very unjust and ungrateful.
