GOD’S SIGNS
Your Lord is God, who created the skies and the
earth in six periods, then ascended His Throne. He
throws the veil of night over day. Swiftly they
follow one another. The sun, moon and stars are
subservient to His command. His is the creation,
His is the command. Blessed be God, the Lord of
the worlds. Call on your Lord humbly and secretly;
He does not love the transgressors. Do not bring
corruption to the land after things have been set
right. Pray to Him fearfully, eagerly. God’s mercy is
within reach of the righteous. He sends forth the
winds as harbingers of His mercy till, when they
bear a heavy cloud, We drive it to a dead land and
cause rain to descend thereon, bringing forth all
manner of fruit. Thus We will raise the dead to life;
perchance you will take heed. And as for the good
land, its vegetation comes forth by the leave of its
Lord. But poor and scant are the fruits which spring
from barren soil. Thus We make plain Our signs for
those who render thanks. (7:54-58).
