What does the Quran say about GOD’S SIGN/WONDER? (DOES GOD EXIST?)



Does God exist? Each time someone ask this question the Quran points to God’s AYAH (no, not father as per the Malay language) – translated to Signs or Wonders or Evidences or Miracles.

At 30:25 the Quran declared, “And among His wonders is this: the skies and the earth stand firm at His behest” and at 30:27 declared “ And He it is who creates [all life] in the first instance, and then brings it forth anew: and most easy is this for Him, since His is the essence of all that is most sublime in the heavens and on earth, and He alone is almighty, truly wise.” And at 21:30 the Quran explained, “ARE, THEN, they who are bent on denying the truth not aware that the heavens and the earth were [once] one single entity, which We then parted asunder? – and [that] We made out of water every living thing? Will they not, then, [begin to] believe?

Please watch this video before proceeding.

As such, for life to exist and even more so the fact that the system, process and cycles of life is thriving is THE miracle and proof of God’s existence. Life itself is a miracle. I truly love it that the Quran use science to show towards His Signs.

Here are 10 entries on GOD’S SIGNS or WONDERS.

All emphasis are mine to help readers focus on a particular message.

1.    And [thus] He displays His WONDERs before you: which, then, of God’s WONDERs can you still deny? Quran 40:81

2.    And among His SIGNS is the [very] creation of the heavens and the earth, and of all the living creatures which He has caused to multiply throughout them:  and [since He has created them,] He has [also] the power to gather them [unto Him­self] whenever He wills. Quran 42:29

3.    And among His wonders is this: He creates you out of dust –  and then, lo! you become human beings ranging far and wide! And among His wonders is this: He creates for you mates out of your own kind. so that you might incline towards them, and He engenders love and tenderness between you: in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who think! And among His wonders is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the diversity of your tongues and colours: for in this, behold, there are messages indeed for all who are possessed of [innate] knowledge! And among His wonders is your sleep, at night or in daytime, as well as your [ability to go about in] quest of some of His bounties: in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who [are willing to] listen! And among His wonders is this: He displays before you the lightning, giving rise to [both] fear and hope, and sends down water from the skies, giving life thereby to the earth after it had been lifeless: in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who use their reason! And among His wonders is this: the skies and the earth stand firm at His behest. [Remember all this: for] in the end, when He will call you forth from the earth with a single call - lo! you will [all] emerge [for judgment]. For, unto Him belongs every being that is in the heavens and on earth; all things devoutly obey His will. And He it is who creates [all life] in the first instance, and then brings it forth anew: and most easy is this for Him, since His is the essence of all that is most sublime in the heavens and on earth, and He alone is almighty, truly wise. Quran 30:20-27

4.    For among His SIGNS is this: thou seest the earth lying desolate - and lo! when We send down water upon it, it stirs and swells [with life]! Verily, He who brings it to life can surely give life to the dead [of heart as well]: for, behold, He has the power to will anything. Quran 41:39

5.    And among His WONDERs is this: the skies and the earth stand firm at His behest.  [Remember all this: for] in the end, when He will call you forth from the earth with a single call - lo! you will [all] emerge [for judgment]. Quran 30:25

6.    ARE, THEN, they who are bent on denying the truth not aware that the heavens and the earth were [once] one single entity, which We then parted asunder?  and [that] We made out of water every living thing? Will they not, then, [begin to] believe? And [are they not aware that] We have set up firm mountains on earth, lest it sway with them, and [that] We have appointed thereon broad paths, so that they might find their way, and [that] We have set up the sky as a canopy well-secured?  And yet, they stubbornly turn away from [all] the signs of this [creation], and [fail to see that] it is He who has created the night and the day and the sun and the moon - all of them floating through space! Quran 21:30-33

7.    For among His WONDERS is this: He sends forth [His messages as He sends forth] the winds that bear glad tidings,  so that He might give you a taste of His grace [through life-giving rains], and that ships might sail at His behest, and that you might go about in quest of some of His bounties, and that you might have cause to be grateful. – Quran 30:46

8.    Behold, then, [O man,] these SIGNS of God’s grace - how He gives life to the earth after it had been lifeless! Verily, this Selfsame [God] is indeed the One that can bring the dead back to life: for He has the power to will anything! Quran 30:50

9.    Now among His SIGNS are the night and the day, as well as the sun and the moon: [hence,] adore not the sun or the moon, but prostrate yourselves in adoration before God, who has created them - if it is Him whom you [really] worship. Quran 41:37

10. AND ON EARTH there are SIGNS [of God’s exis­tence, visible] to all who are endowed with inner certainty, just as [there are SIGNS thereof] within your own selves: can you not, then, see? Quran 51:20-21

Can you see and read the Signs?

Peace, anas
