Thinking Over the Verses of the Qur'an 91

deriving lessons and warnings from every verse is the only way to gain the
approval, mercy and the Paradise of Allah.

What does Allah Summon People to
Think about in the Qur'an?
And We have sent down the Reminder to you so that you can
make clear to mankind what has been sent down to them so
that hopefully they will reflect. (Surat an-Nahl: 44)
Just as in this ayah of Surat an-Nahl, in many other of His verses, Allah
invites people to reflect. Thinking over the things
Allah calls us to think about and seeing the hid-
den purposes and the creational miracles He has
created is an act of worship. Each subject on
which we reflect helps us to further understand
and appreciate the omnipotence, wisdom,
knowledge, art and other attributes of Allah.

Allah Summons Man to Think over
His Own Creation
Man says, "When I am dead, will I then be
brought out again alive?" Does not man
recall that We created him before when he
was not anything? (Surah Maryam: 66-67)

Allah Summons People to Think
Over the Creation of the Universe
In the creation of the heavens and earth,
and the alternation of the night and day,
and the ships which sail the seas to people's
benefit, and the water which Allah sends
down from the sky – by which He brings
the earth to life when it was dead and scat-
ters about in it creatures of every kind – and

There are many lessons in the creation of man
for those who reflect.
