God has commanded us
to ponder the vast evidence in
the skies and upon Earth.
However, it should not be for-
gotten that only those who lis-
ten to the voice of their con-
science will be able to see this
manifest evidence and concep-
tualize its meaning with God’s
consent:
Have they not looked at
the sky above them: How
We structured it and
made it beautiful and how there are no fissures in it? And
the Earth: howWe stretched it out and cast firmly embedded
mountains onto it and caused luxuriant plants of every kind
to grow in it, an instruction and a reminder for every peni-
tent human being. (Qur’an, 50:6-8)
