Explaining the Cosmic Signs of Allah.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The signs, I mean the signs of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), are divided into two categories: cosmic signs and legislative signs. The evidence for this is, listen: [Fussilat 41:37] [Ar-Rum 30:20] [Ar-Rum 30:22-25] These are cosmic signs, and they pertain to creation and making. So whatever pertains to creation and making, what are they? Cosmic signs. Or if you wish, you can say cosmic and decreed signs. Why are they a sign of Allah? Because creation cannot do them. Can anyone put you to sleep? No, they cannot. Can anyone put you to sleep? No, they absolutely cannot.

The Shaykh : As for pills, Allah made them a cause. He made them a cause. Otherwise, this woman would guide her child like this and like this, and he would be quiet and sleep. But the cause is only one. One person says: I came, by Allah, to complain. By Allah, at night insomnia takes me. He said: Sleep. And once he started snoring, maybe this one or that one? No, it is absolutely impossible.
The student: And if we wish, O Shaykh, we can say that natural sleep is different from pills and such.
The Shaykh : No, even natural sleep. This natural sleep, in reality, Allah created a cause in this matter. He is the Creator of the cause and the Creator of the effect. So if we say that the signs are those that cannot be in others, that distinguish a thing from others, then Allah (Mighty and Majestic), these are the signs of the sun and the moon. Can anyone create something like them? When they created these artificial satellites, look, and they rejoiced in them, how many times did they orbit the earth, how many collisions occurred, how much corruption happened, and how many times did they fall into the depths, no one knows where they went? But the sun and the moon, since Allah (Mighty and Majestic) created them until the Day of Resurrection,[Ibrahim 14:33] because creation cannot do it.
And of His signs are the night and day and the sun and moon
وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ وَالشَّمْسُ وَالْقَمَرُAnd of His signs is that He created you from dust; then, suddenly you were human beings dispersing [throughout the earth].
وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ إِذَا أَنْتُمْ بَشَرٌ تَنْتَشِرُونَ(22) And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge. (23) And of His signs is your sleep by night and day and your seeking of His bounty. Indeed in that are signs for a people who listen. (24) And of His signs is [that] He shows you the lightning [causing] fear and aspiration, and He sends down rain from the sky by which He brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. Indeed in that are signs for a people who use reason. (25) And of His signs is that the heaven and earth remain by His command. Then when He calls you with a [single] call from the earth, immediately you will come forth.
وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلافُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَانِكُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآياتٍ لِلْعَالِمِينَ وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ مَنَامُكُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَابْتِغَاؤُكُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ يُرِيكُمُ الْبَرْقَ خَوْفاً وَطَمَعاً وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَيُحْيِي بِهِ الأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآياتٍ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّمَاءُ وَالأَرْضُ بِأَمْرِهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ دَعْوَةً مِنَ الأَرْضِ إِذَا أَنْتُمْ تَخْرُجُونَThe student: ... .
