He brings out the living from the dead and the dead from the
living, and gives life to the earth after its death. Likewise, you too, shall
be taken out (of the state of death). Of His Signs is this that He has created
you from dust; then behold, you are men who are multiplying (in the earth).
And of His Signs is this that He has created for you wives from your own
species that you may find peace with them, and created love and mercy between
you. Surely in this there are many Signs for those who reflect. And of His
Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the difference of your
tongues and colors. Surely in this there are many Signs for the learned. And of
His Signs is your sleep by night and by day and your seeking of His bounty.
Surely in this there are many Signs for those who pay heed. And of His Signs is
this that He shows you the lightning, for fear as well as for hope, and He
sends down rainwater from the sky and thereby gives life to the earth after its
death. Surely in this there are many Signs for those who use their common
sense. And of his Signs is this that the Heaven and the Earth stand firm by His
Command, then as soon as He summons you out of the earth, you shall come out at
one call. Whoever exist in the heavens and the earth, are His servants; all are
obedient to Him. He it is Who originates the creation; then He alone will
repeat it, and this is easier for Him. His are the most exalted attributes in
the heavens and the earth, and He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.

Verses 60-61 of Chapter 27:
Well, Who is He Who created the heavens and the earth and
sent down rainwater for you from the sky, then caused to spring up by it
beautiful gardens, whose trees you had no power to cause to grow? Is there
besides Allah another god (who is His associate in these works)? (Nay,) but
these people themselves have strayed from the right path. And Who is it Who
made the earth as a place of rest and caused in it rivers to flow, and set in
it firm mountains and placed barriers between the two bodies of water? Is there
besides Allah another god (who is His associate in these works)? Nay, but most
of these people have no knowledge.

Verses 59-62 of Chapter 25:
He Who created
the heavens and the earth and all that is between, in six days, and is firmly
established on the Throne (of Authority): Allah Most Gracious: ask thou, then,
about Him of any acquainted (with such things). When it is said to them,
“Prostrate to (Allah) Most Gracious!”, they say, “And what is (Allah) Most
Gracious? Shall we prostrate to that which thou commandest us?” And it
increases their flight (from the Truth). Blessed is He Who made constellations
in the skies, and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light; And it is He
Who made the Night and the Day to follow each other: for such as have the will
to celebrate His praises or to show their gratitude.
Verses 53-54 of Chapter 25:
It is He Who has let free the two bodies of flowing water: One palatable and sweet, and the other salt and bitter; yet has He made a barrier between them, a partition that is forbidden to be passed. It is He Who has created man from water: then has He established relationships of lineage and marriage: for thy Lord has power (over all things).

Verses 45-50 of Chapter 25:
Have you not seen how your Lord lengthens out the shadow?
Had He willed, He would have made it constant, but We have made the sun its
pilot; then (as the sun climbs up), We roll it up little by little towards
Ourselves. And it is Allah Who has ordained the night as a garment for you, and
the sleep as a repose of death, and the day as the time of return to life. And
it is He, Who drives the winds to be the harbingers of His mercy: then He sends
down pure water from the sky so that He may revive the dead land, and quench
the thirst of many of His creatures from among beasts and men. We present the
same phenomenon over and over again before them so that they may learn a lesson
from it; but most people decline to adopt any other attitude than of disbelief
and ingratitude.

Verses 43-45 of Chapter 24:
Do you not observe that Allah makes the cloud move gently
then joins its pieces together: then gathers it into a mass of thick cloud:
then you see that rain-drops fall down from its midst: and He sends down hail
out of the high up mountains in the heaven: then He smites with it whom He
wills and turns it away from whom He pleases: then a flash of lightning from it
dazzles the eyes. He alternates the day and the night: there is indeed a lesson
in it for those who have observing eyes. And Allah created every creature from
a sort of water: of them some one crawls upon its belly: another walks on two
legs and still another on four; Allah creates whatever He wills for He has
power over everything.

Verses 12-20 of Chapter 23:
We created man from an essence of clay: then turned him into a sperm-drop in a safe place: then changed the sperm drop into a clot of blood and the clot into a piece of flesh: then turned the piece of flesh into bones: then clothed the bones with flesh, and then brought him forth as quite a different creation (from the embryo). So blessed is Allah, the best of all creators. Then after this you shall all die: then most surely you shall' be raised up on the Day of Resurrection. And We have made seven paths above you We were not novice in the art of creation. And We sent down rain from the sky in due measure and lodged it in the earth and We are able to take it away as We will. Then with that rain We caused vineyards and palm groves to spring up. In those gardens there are delicious fruits from which you obtain sustenance. And We created the tree which grows on Mount Sinai, it gives oil and is used as food also by those who like to eat it.

Verses 5-6 of Chapter 22:
O mankind! if ye
have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of
dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of
flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our
power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed
term, then do We bring you out as babes, then (foster you) that ye may reach
your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die, and some are sent
back to the feeblest old age, so that they know nothing after having known (much),
and (further), thou seest the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down
rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it puts forth every kind of
beautiful growth (in pairs). This is so, because Allah is the Reality: it is He
Who gives life to the dead, and it is He Who has power over all things.

Verses 30-33 of Chapter 21:
Have not the people, who have disbelieved (the Message), ever considered this: the heavens and the earth were at first one mass; then We parted them, and created every living thing from water? Do they not acknowledge (that this is Our Creation)? And We set mountains firmly in the earth lest it should tilt to one side along with them, and We left therein open paths so that they may find their way. And We made the sky a safe canopy, but in spite of this they do not pay due heed to its signs. And it is Allah, Who has made the night and the day and created the sun and the moon; all of them are floating, each in its own orbit.
