O mankind, there has come to you a conclusive proof from your Lordيَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ جَاءَكُم بُرْهَانٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ
[An-Nisa 4:174]

[An-Nisa 4:174]
there has come to you a conclusive proof from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a clear light.قَدْ جَاءَكُم بُرْهَانٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكُمْ نُورًا مُّبِينًا
[An-Nisa 4:174]
So the burhan is the Qur'an; this is the recited proof. As for the rational proofs, these are the cosmic signs: the night and the day, the sun and the moon, the seas, and the trees. These are cosmic signs, and the Qur'anic verses are the revealed revelation. Yes, and they are the proof. Yes.
