The Qur’an refers to the phenomena and entities that are certain proofs of God’s existence, oneness, and names as “signs.” Just as these are written in the Qur’an, they also exist in the world and in a person’s soul, for: “There are certainly Signs in Earth for people with certainty, and in yourselves as well. Do you not then see?” (Qur’an, 51:20-21)
Those who use their conscience encounter countless proofs of God’s existence, such as brightly colored, sweet-smelling flowers; delicious fruits and vegetables that spring from muddy soil; the sense organs, which enable us to enjoy each created item’s unique properties (e.g., smell and taste); the human body with its many complex systems, all of which work in harmony; the Sun, which illuminates and warms, and its ideal size and distance from our Earth; the rain, which brings bone-dry soil to life; and countless other proofs.
Each of these is a “sign leading to faith.” In other words, they are miracles of creation and truths that guide people to faith and then increase that faith. Every person who thinks deeply about these proofs will come to faith by clearly seeing these reflections of God’s existence and greatness. Thanks to these signs, believers will come to know God better and increase their love for, and fear [and awareness] of Him.
This book seeks to lift the curtain of indifference by dealing with the importance of these signs leading to faith. At the same time, it contains the views of several Islamic scholars of these signs and gives examples of them. Moreover, it also considers how these signs are the most effective way of disproving the superstitious teachings of the theory of evolution, the greatest deception of our time, and one that continues to lead people to atheism in the End Times.
