Signs of Allah's power and majesty

Have you not seen that all those who are in the heavens and the earth, and the birds on the wing, sing the praises of God. Each one knows its obligations and its duties, and God knows whatever they do.

For God's is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, and the returning is to God.

Have you not seen that God drives the clouds, then joins them together and puts them fold on fold. Then you see the rain fall through them; and He sends down hail from the sky where there are mountains of it, and strikes those with it whom He will, and wards it off from whomsoever He please. His lightning could snatch away their eyes.

It is God who alternates night and day. There is surely a lesson in this for men of sight.

God created every moving thing from water: One crawls on its belly, one walks on two legs, another moves on four. God creates whatsoever He will. Indeed God has power over everything.

We have surely sent down clear signs. It is God who guides whom He will to the path that is straight.
