ভূমিকা

The signs of Allah are not countable; what is mentioned contains a few ones from a great deal of them. This verse, as well as a part of the later verses, reiterates some interesting points from among the proofs of Monotheism and signs of Allah in the system of the world of existence, and it completes the former discussions. It can be said that these very noble verses, on the whole, form an important part of the monotheistic verses of the Qur’an.

These verses, all of which begin with “ one of His signs ” and have a special harmony, an interesting tone, and deep and effective meaning with each other, have totally been formed by seven verses, six of which are consecutive and one of them is separate from others.[^1] These seven verses have an interesting division from the point of extroversive verses and introversive verses.

Three verses are about the introversive verses (the signs of Allah in the man’s self, and three verses are about extroversive verses, (the signs of the greatness of Allah outside of man’s self), and one verse talks about both of them. It is interesting that the verses which begin with this sentence are not more than eleven that seven of them have occurred in this very Surah, Ar-Room, and two verses are mentioned in Surah Fussilat, No. 41[^2], and two verses are in Surah Shawra, No. 42[^3].

All of these eleven noble verses are truly as a complete collection about Monotheism. Before beginning the commentary of these verses, it is necessary to mention that though what is stated in these verses, at first, is understandable for almost all people, but by the development of man’s knowledge in every field some new points are gradually revealed to the scientists, a part of which will be pointed out through the commentary of these verses.

At first, here the Qur’an refers to the creation of man for whom is the first and the most important merit of Allah.
