Today’s selection is from Surah 30, Ar-Rüm or the Romans, verses 20-27. These verses discuss the creation of man, his consort, the heavens and the earth, language, race, sleep, work, lightning, rain and the growth of vegetation – all sure signs of Allah.

Verses
Bis-millahi ar-rahman, ar-raheem.
In the name of Allah, most gracious, most merciful.
Lightning flash across the Arabian peninsula (NASA)
Among his signs is this, that he created you from dust; and then- behold, you are men scattered (far and wide)!
And among his signs is this, that he created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and he has put love and mercy between your (hearts): verily in that are signs for those who reflect.
And among his signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colors; verily in that are signs for those who know.
And among his signs is the sleep that you take by night and by day, and the quest that you (make for livelihood) out of his bounty: verily in that are Signs for those who hearken.
And among his signs, he shows you the lightning, by way both of fear and of hope, and he sends down rain from the sky and with it gives life to the earth after it is dead: Verily in that are signs for those who are wise.
And among his signs is this, that heaven and earth stand by his command: then when he calls you, by a single call, from the earth, Behold, you (straightaway) come forth.
It is he who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; and for him it is most easy. To him belongs the loftiest similitude (we can think of) in the heavens and the earth: for he is exalted in might, full of wisdom.
Ameen.
