The ability to see the signs of God

"And say:" Praise be to God! He will show you His signs soon, and then you shall know them. "And thy Lord is not unmindful of what you do. "(Quran 27:93)

"This is a clear message to the people so that they are knowledgeable, they know that He is One God, and that men of understanding may reflect. "(Quran 14:52) 


In many verses, God emphasizes that one of the main objectives of the Qur'anic revelation is to invite people to think.

In the Qur'an, God urges people not to blindly accept the beliefs and values ​​that society imposes on them and think openly, forgetting all prejudices, taboos and constraints.

Man must think about how he came into this world, the raison d'ĂȘtre of its existence, the reason of death and what awaits him after it. He must question how the universe appeared and so it continues to exist. In retrospect, it must be free of all constraints and prejudices.

If a person thinks by ignoring everything that has conditioned the views social, ideological and psychological, it should come to realize that the entire universe, including itself, was created by a higher power . Observed even when his own body or, more generally, the nature that surrounds it, what it can see an impressive harmony perfectly planned, after a wisdom involved in its creation.

In this regard, the Qur'an guides man. In the Qur'an, God guide us to what we should think and what we need to study. Methods explored by the Koran ensure that whoever believes in God sees more clearly His perfection, His eternal wisdom, His knowledge, His power even in His creation. When a believer begins to think as proposed by the Qur'an, he realizes that the whole universe is a sign of God's power and his art, and that nature is a work of art and not the artist himself. Every work of art reflects the exceptional talent of its author and somehow transmits its message.

The Qur'an calls people to study various events and natural elements that clearly demonstrate the existence and oneness of God and His attributes. All these things which testify of His existence are called "signs", which includes word meaning "irrefutable evidence", "absolute knowledge" and "truth-telling". Thus, the signs of God includes all beings living in the universe testify to His existence and His attributes. Those who know how to observe and remember will notice that the entire universe is composed of signs of God.

Get to see, to perceive God's signs is the responsibility of the human being. It is only in this way he can get to know his Creator, to draw closer to Him, to understand the reason for its existence, and from there, successful life.

Everything, whether the air inspired by a human being, social and political developments, the cosmic harmony of the universe or the atom is the smallest particle of matter, everything is a sign of which God has full knowledge and full control, and each obeys His laws. Knowing and recognizing the signs of God requires some effort on the part of each individual. Everyone comes in his own wisdom and conscience.

Of course, some guidelines may be useful. We can study some points made in the Qur'an in order to understand and learn this way of thinking that sees the universe as an expression of God's creation.

Sura of the Qur'an entitled "bees" focuses on the signs of God found in nature:

"It is He who from heaven down water you drink and with which vegetated pasture for your livestock. [This water] It makes you grow grass, olive trees, palms, vines and all kinds of fruit trees. Surely there is a sign for people who reflect. You submitted the night and day, the sun and the moon. And the stars are subjected to His Command. Most surely there are signs for people who understand. And the things He created for you on this earth, have different shades of color. There is a sign in this for those who remember. And He it is Who has subjected the sea so that you can eat fresh flesh, and that you may extract therefrom ornaments to wear. And you see the ships cleave the waves there so that you can seek His bounty and that you may be grateful. He firmly established the mountains in the earth so that it does not oscillate in taking you with it. He established the rivers and channels that may guide you, and He also established other landmarks. And by the stars, [people] find their way. This then is He who creates like one who does not? Do you not remember? "(Quran 16:10-17)

In the Qur'an, God invites men of reason to ponder these things that so many people do not even see or try to explain other than by creation using meaningless words like "evolution", "chance" or " miracles of nature. "

"Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, in the alternation of night and day there are signs for men of understanding who remember God standing, sitting and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth (saying): "Our Lord! You have not created all this in vain. Glory to Thee! Guard us from the punishment of the Fire. "(Qur'an 3:190-1)

As we can see, in these verses, people of intelligence are the signs of God and try to understand His eternal knowledge, His power and art meditating on them. Because knowledge of God is unlimited and His act of creation, perfect. For men of understanding, all the things that surround them are signs of this creation.
