Few of these verses shall be quoted here: What, have they not beheld heaven above them, how We have built it, and decked it out fair, and it has no cracks and the earth We stretched it forth, and cast on it firm mountains, and We caused to grow therein of every joyous kind for an insight and a reminder to every penitent servant. (5) And, What do they not consider how the camel was created, how heaven was lifted up, how the mountains were hoisted, how the earth was outstretched?

(6) Also, Say: Journey in the land, then behold how He originated creation; then Almighty Allah causes the second growth; Almighty Allah is powerful over everything. (7) As can be seen from the foregoing verses, Almighty Allah refers to all existing things in the universe as the “signs” of their Creator, and the system of the universe as the imprint of an omniscient designer and programmer.

The study of the universe and what exists in it is considered one of the most important means for knowledge of Almighty Allah and recognition of the majesty of its Creator. The Prophets also based their invitation to belief on this point. The Prophet Moses (PBUH) makes a similar argument in his confrontation with Pharaoh. The Qur’an quotes Moses as putting his argument in these words: He said, `Our Lord is He who gave everything its creation, then guided it.

He who appointed the earth to be a cradle for you and therein threaded roads for you and sent down water out of heaven, and therewith We have brought forth diverse kinds of plants. (8) Prophet Noah (PBUH) is quoted in the Qur’an as saying to his people: He said, “My Lord, l have called my people by night and by day, but my call­ing has only increased them in flight…and I said, Ask the forgiveness of your Lord.

…Have you not regarded how Almighty Allah created seven heavens one upon another and set the moon therein for a light and the sun for a lamp and Almighty Allah cause you to grow out of the earth, then He shall return you into it, and bring you forth. And Almighty Allah has laid the earth for you as a carpet, and thereof you may tread ways, ravines. (9) Obviously, it is not for everyone to be able to read the “book” of the universe.
