Qur'an
Surah Aal-Imran (3:190)إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ لَآيَاتٍ لِّأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ
Inna fi khalq is-samawati wal-ardi wakhtilaf il-layli wan-nahari la ayatin li ulil-albab
“Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding.”
This verse invites rational contemplation of the natural world as evidence for the Creator. The phrase 'uli al-albab' (people of understanding) emphasizes that Islam encourages intellectual inquiry and empirical observation as paths to faith, not blind acceptance.
Qur'an
Surah Al-Hadid (57:3)هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْبَاطِنُ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
Huwa al-Awwalu wal-Akhiru waz-Zahiru wal-Batinu wa Huwa bikulli shay'in 'Alim
“He is the First and the Last, the Ascendant and the Intimate, and He is, of all things, Knowing.”
This verse describes four divine attributes that encompass all of existence: Al-Awwal (the First — nothing precedes Him), Al-Akhir (the Last — nothing outlasts Him), Az-Zahir (the Manifest — nothing is above Him), Al-Batin (the Hidden — nothing is closer than Him). The Prophet Muhammad described these names in a famous supplication narrated in Sahih Muslim.
