—glorified is He—in the Noble Book are confined to these two kinds of proof, this is evident to anyone who reflects on the verses in the Noble Book concerning this matter.

For when these verses are examined, they are found to be of three kinds: verses that draw attention to the argument from providence, verses that draw attention to the argument from origination, and verses that combine both arguments.

As for the verses that contain only the argument from providence, they include His saying, Most High:

“Have We not made the earth a resting place, and the mountains as stakes?”

[Al-Naba’: 6–7]

up to His words:

“and gardens of intertwined growth.”

[Al-Naba’: 16]

Likewise, His saying, Most High:

“Blessed is He who has placed constellations in the sky, and placed therein a lamp and a luminous moon.”

[Al-Furqān: 61]

up to His words:

“or desires to be grateful.”

[Al-Furqān: 62]
