Surah Fussilat (41:37)
A: Main Theme
This is an early Makkan Surah and it's main theme is Allah in Himself. Ithe mentions some of the signs of nature that reflects God's unity and majesty. It refers to the cycles of day and night as evidence of divinity. The passage commands them to worship the creator of the sun and the moon and not the creations themselves. The supports the same theme at many places by saying:
"Behold! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, in the alternation of the night and day....are signs for the people who are wise."
B: Implementation
Theme of this passage urges Muslims to observe various objects of nature that reflects God's presence. Since humans cannot afford to see God physically they are asked to identify the creator through His wonderful creations that bear witness to His existence. Such observations encourages Muslims to develop a strong belief in Tawhid in all of it's aspects. Quran says:
"Verily, in the alternation of the night and day, and in all that God has created in the heavens and earth, are the signs for those who fear Him".
