them by Allah, believers can see the miracles He has placed before their
eyes. But we need to look through a lens of reason and wisdom. All those
who learn to regard their surroundings with reason and wisdom will, in
addition to perceiving the artistry in a flower’s color, shape and perfume,
also learn about the systems that make that flower what it is and thereby,
bear clearer witness to the sublime knowledge and might of Allah.
He reveals that there are signs—clear indications of His existence—in
the creation of Man and other living things:
And in your creation and all the creatures He has spread about,
there are Signs for people with certainty. (Surat al-Jathiyya:4)
By examining photosynthesis, a characteristic feature of plants that
helps them thrive and also support animals—as well as the flawless design
of the leaves that carry out this process—you will witness the miracles that
Allah continually performs in these living things.
As you read through this book you will encounter various foreign
names and technical details that at first glance may seem difficult, even in-
comprehensible. However, they are all explained in such a way that even a
reader wholly unfamiliar with the subject will have no trouble in under-
standing them. The important thing here is to realize that Allah has creat-
ed everything in the universe, right down to the tiniest details, with His su-
perior knowledge and delicate measurements. You can then witness and
appreciate the living examples set out in the verses below:
He to Whom the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs. He
does not have a son and He has no partner in the Kingdom. He cre-
ated everything and determined it most exactly. (Surat al-Jathiyya:2)
It is Allah Who created the seven heavens and of the earth the
same number, the Command descending down through all of them,
so that you might know that Allah has power over all things and
that Allah encompasses all things in His knowledge. (Surat at-
Talaq:12)
