It is Allah Who has made for you the earth as a resting
place, and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape- and made your shapes
beautiful,- and has provided for you Sustenance, of things pure and good;- such
is Allah your Lord. So Glory to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!

Verses 5-6 of Chapter 39:
He has created the heavens and the earth with the truth. He
it is Who wraps the night about the day and the day about the night. He has so
subjected the sun and the moon that each is moving till an appointed time. Note
it well: He is the All-Mighty, the All-Forgiving. It is He Who created you from
a single being, then from that being He created its mate, and it is He Who
created for you eight heads of cattle, male and female. He shapes you in your
mothers' wombs, giving you one form after the other, under three dark veils.
This same Allah (Whose works are these) is your Lord Sovereignty is His. There
is no god but He. Whence are you, then, being turned away?

Verses 33-40 of Chapter 36:
The dead land is a Sign for these people. We gave it life
and produced grain from it, which they eat. We made gardens of date-palms and
grapes in it and caused springs to gush out of it so that they may eat fruits
thereof. It is not their hands which have made all this. Do they not then give
thanks? Glorified is He Who created in pairs all species, whether of vegetable
kingdom or of their own (i.e., human) kind, or of those things of which they
know nothing. Another Sign for them is the night: We remove the day from above
it, and they are covered in darkness. And the Sun: it is moving to its place of
rest. This is the decree of the All-Mighty, All-Knowing God. And the Moon: We
have determined stages for it till it again becomes like an old dry
palm-branch. Neither is it possible for the Sun to overtake the Moon, nor for
the night to outstrip the day. Each is gliding in its own orbit.

Verses 27-28 of Chapter 35:
Do you not see that Allah sends down rainwater from the sky
and we bring forth thereby a variety of fruits of different colors? In the
mountains also there are streaks, white and red and black, with different hues.
And likewise, men, beasts and cattle also have different colors. The fact is
that only those of His servants, who possess knowledge, fear Allah. Surely,
Allah is All-Mighty, All-Forgiving.

Verse 9 of Chapter 34:
Nay, but those only, who do not believe in the Hereafter,
will incur the punishment and they are involved in gross error. Have they never
seen the earth, which surrounds them from front and from behind? If We will, We
can sink them underground, or cause some fragments of the sky to fall down upon
them. There is' indeed a Sign in this for every such servant who turns to God.

Verses 1-2 of Chapter 34:
Praise is for Allah alone Who is the Owner of everything in
the Leavens and the earth, and the praise is for Him alone in the Hereafter,
too. He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware. He knows whatever goes into the earth
and whatever comes out of it; and whatever comes down from the sky and whatever
ascends into it: He is the All-Merciful, the All-Forgiving.

Verses 6-9 of Chapter 32:
He alone is the Knower of the hidden and the open, the All-Mighty,
the Compassionate, Who gave everything He created the best form. He began the
creation of man from clay; then spread his progeny by an extract the nature of
a despicable water; then He shaped him and breathed into him of His Spirit; and
He gave you the ears, and the eyes and the hearts: yet you are seldom grateful.
Verse 20 of Chapter 31:
Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you whatever is in the earth and the heavens, and has bestowed on you all His favors, visible as well as invisible? Yet there are some among the people who wrangle about Allah, without any knowledge, or guidance, or an enlightening Book.
Verses 46-50 of Chapter 30:
Of His Signs is this that He sends the winds to give good
news and to bless you with His Mercy and to make the ships sail by His Command,
so that you may seek His bounty and be grateful to Him. And We sent before you
Messengers to their peoples who came to them with clear Signs. Then We took
vengeance on the guilty ones and it was their right on Us that We should help
the believers. It is Allah Who sends the winds, which raise the cloud; then He
spreads the clouds in the sky as He pleases, and breaks them up; and then you
see drops of rainwater falling from the cloud. When He showers this rain upon
those of His servants He pleases, they are filled with joy, though before its
coming they had lost all hope. Just see the Signs of Allah's Mercy, how He
brings back to life the dead earth. Likewise, He will bring back the dead to
life: He has power over everything.
