ON THE SUBJECT OF 9 CONTEMPLATION OF THE CREATION, UNIVERSE AND ALL THINGS Let us start by reading some verses from the Koran Allah, the Exalted says: "Say: 'I give you only one admonition, that you stand before Allah either two by two, or one by one and reflect." 34:46 Koran "Surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are signs for those with minds. Those who remember Allah when standing, sitting, and on their sides, and contemplate upon the creation of the heavens and the earth (saying) 'Lord, You have not created these in falsehood. Exaltations to You! Guard us against the punishment of the Fire.'" 3:190-191 Koran "What, do they not reflect upon how the camel was created? And how the heaven was raised up, and how the mountains were firmly fixed, and how the earth was outstretched? Therefore remind, you are only a reminder." 88:17-21 Koran "Have they never journeyed through the land and seen what was the end of those who had gone before them?" 47:10 Koran
