things of varying colors He has created for you in the
Earth. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who

out from it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships
cleaving through it so that you can seek His bounty,
and so that hopefully you will show thanks. He cast
firmly embedded mountains on the Earth so it would
not move under you, and rivers and pathways so that
hopefully you would be guided, and landmarks. And
they are guided by the stars. Is He Who creates like
Him who does not create? So will you not pay heed?
If you tried to number God's blessings, you could nev-
er count them. God is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Obviously the variety of life is a very considerable sub-
ject to be dealt with in a single volume. This book describes
the general outlines of that variety and what it provides us
with. It recalls some of the blessings too many to be listed,
even in general terms. In addition, it sets out some of the
verses about living things, and indications of the existence

and attributes of God, as described in Qur'an:
And in your creation and all the creatures He has
spread about there are Signs for people with certain-
ty. (Surat al-Jathiyya, 4)
