He it is Who has stretched out the earth and has placed in it firm
mountains and has caused the rivers to flow. He has made every
fruit in pairs, two and two, and He it is Who causes the night to
cover the day. Surely there are signs in these for those who reflect.
{ 8 - 6} 05 -
Did they never observe the sky above them: how We built it and
beautified it; and it has no cracks; and We have spread out the
earth, and have set upon it firm mountains, and have caused it to
bring out plants of all beauteous kinds? All these are to serve as eye
openers and as a lesson to every being who is prone to turn (to the
Truth).
{ 35} 13 -
He created the heavens without any pillars visible to you and He
placed mountains in the earth as pegs lest it should turn topsy turvy
with you.

And He has placed firm mountains on the earth lest it quake
with you, and has made rivers and tracks that you may find your
way.
{ 11 - 79} 97 -
Is it harder to create you or the heaven? But Allah built it, and
raised its vault high and proportioned it; and covered its night
with darkness and brought forth from it its day; and thereafter
spread out the earth, and brought out of it its water and its
pasture, and firmly fixed in it mountains; all this as provision for
you and your cattle.
{ 13} 73 -
And We placed firm mountains on earth lest it should sway with
them, and We made wide paths in it that they may find their
way.

Did We not make the earth a receptacle, for the living and the dead,
and did We not firmly fix towering mountains on it and give you
sweet water to drink?
{ 22 - 21 } 72 -
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.
In the mountains there are streaks; white and red, of
different colors, and pitchy black.

Do you not see that Allah sent down water from the sky with which
We brought forth fruits of different colors? In the mountains there
are streaks; white and red, of different colors, and pitchy black; and
human beings too, and beasts, and cattle diverse are their colors.
From among His servants, it is only those who have knowledge that
fear Allah. Verily Allah is Most Mighty, Most Forgiving.
Don't you see that Allah made the rivers flow & subjected
them for you.
{ 73} 17 -
Do you not see that Allah sent down water from the sky, then made
it flow on earth as springs and streams and rivers and then with it He
brings forth vegetation of various colors; then this vegetation ripens
and dries up, turning yellow, whereafter He reduces it to broken
straw? Surely there is a lesson in this for those endowed with
understanding.
We caused springs to gush forth

Let the dead earth be a Sign for them. We gave it life and
produced from it grain whereof they eat. We made in it gardens
of date-palms and vines, and We caused springs to gush forth
that they might eat of its fruits. It was not their hands that made
them. Will they not, then, give thanks?
And Allah has provided shade for you out of some of the
things He has created.
{ 83} 36-
And Allah has provided shade for you out of some of the things
He has created; and He has provided you with shelters in the
mountains, and has given you garments that protect you from
heat as well as garments that protect you in battle. Thus does He
complete His favour upon you that you may submit to Him.

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.

Do the people not see how the objects Allah has created cast
their shadows right and left, prostrating themselves in utter
submission to Allah? All living creatures and all angels in the
heavens and on the earth are in prostration before Allah; and
never do they behave in arrogant defiance. (prostration)
'Observe carefully all that is in the heavens and the earth.'
{ 353} 35 -
Tell them: 'Observe carefully all that is in the heavens and the
earth.' But no signs and warnings can avail those who are bent
on not believing.

Have they not observed the kingdom of the heavens and the
earth, and all that Allah has created and that their term of life
might have drawn near After this warning from the Prophet,
what will it be that will make them believe?

How many are the signs in the heavens and the earth which
people pass by without giving any heed! And most of them
believe in Allah only when they associate others with Him in His
Divinity.
The way of the men of understanding towards these signs.
{ 373 - 375} 1 -
Surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the
alternation of night and day, there are signs for men of
understanding;
those who remember Allah while standing,
sitting or (reclining) on their backs, and reflect in the creation of
the heavens and the earth, (saying): 'Our Lord! You have not
created this in vain. Glory to You! Save us, then, from the
chastisement of the Fire.

Who is it that has created the heavens and the earth and sent down
for you water from the sky and then We caused to grow therewith
orchards full of beauty whose trees you could never grow. Is there
any god associated with Allah (in these tasks)?" Nay, they are a
people who are veering away from the Right Path. Who is it Who
has made the earth a place of resort, and has caused rivers to flow in
its midst, and has placed upon it firm mountains, and has placed a
barrier between two masses of water? Is there any god associated
with Allah (in these tasks)? Nay; but most of them do not know.
Who is it Who heeds the prayers of the distressed when he calls out
to Him and Who removes his affliction? And who is it Who makes
you inheritors of the earth? Is there any god associated with Allah (in
this task)? How little do you reflect! Who is it Who guides you
through the darkness on land and sea? And Who sends winds as
heralds of good tidings ahead of His Mercy? Is there any god
associated with Allah (in this task)? Exalted be Allah above whatever
they associate with Him in His Divinity! Who is it Who creates in the
first instance and then repeats it? Who is it Who provides you with

sustenance from the heavens and the earth? Is there any god
associated with Allah (in these tasks)? Say: "Bring forth your
evidence, if you are truthful."
Such is Allah's creation. Show me, then, what any others,
apart from Allah, have created.

And He has placed firm mountains on the earth lest it should move
away from you, and has made rivers and tracks that you may find
your way, and He has set other landmarks in the earth. And by the
stars too do people find their way. Is then the One Who creates like

the one who does not create? Will you not, then, take heed? For,
were you to count the favours of Allah, you will not be able to count
them. Surely Allah is Ever Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Do you indeed disbelieve in Him and assign equals to Him Who
