While browsing on Youtube, I found these videos and thought of sharing it.. This is a MUST watch, interesting one.
Click here for Arabic Translation 2nd part only
In the video @10:45: I liked when he said: “ For those of you ask for signs have We not shown you enough already? look around you. look at the stars look at the sun and look at the water. these are the signs of the people of knowledge “.
He didn’t mention the verse.. but anyway the verse is @ Surah Al-Baqara Verse 164 >>> The Holy Qur’an
Looks he read a different English translation of the Qur’an. Because all translations are from different people. Anyway Good point.

Enjoyed the vid’s…refreshingly honest. I think everyone at some point in their search for the religion that is right for them look for signs…even if we refer to that looking in other terms. It is indeed a very good point in part 2, and one that is also echoed in the Christian Bible. For all the differences between Islam and Christianity there are also many similarities and the two paths cross most favourably in many aspects. I suspect where they appear not to cross it is more a case of human lack of understanding. I also liked the comment in part 1 re having own opinions of issues – “how can ‘own’ opinions be held, when this is the Word of God?” The opinions of man distort and confuse the Word of God…dragging us away from the truth into a pit of confusion, disbelief and ultimate disaster. The one to one relationship with Allah (God) must surely be of the greatest and utmost importance to our lives and spiritual well-being.
Thanks for your comments Europa 🙂 , you are absolutely right . There are no difference between Islam and Christianity only when it comes to “Jesus” (peace be upon him). And I also liked about “our own opinion” in part 1.
Thanks again for sharing ^_^
Surah An-Nahl (16): Verse 12 = And He has subjected for you the night and day and the sun and moon, and the stars are subjected by His command. Indeed in that are signs for a people who reason.

Thanks brother for sharing.
But the Ayah above in the post, is from surah Al Baqara-Verse 164
Here is the same verse but from different translators :
Sahih International
Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, and the [great] ships which sail through the sea with that which benefits people, and what Allah has sent down from the heavens of rain, giving life thereby to the earth after its lifelessness and dispersing therein every [kind of] moving creature, and [His] directing of the winds and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earth are signs for a people who use reason.
Muhsin Khan
Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which sail through the sea with that which is of use to mankind, and the water (rain) which Allah sends down from the sky and makes the earth alive therewith after its death, and the moving (living) creatures of all kinds that He has scattered therein, and in the veering of winds and clouds which are held between the sky and the earth, are indeed Ayat (proofs, evidences, signs, etc.) for people of understanding.
Pickthall
Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah’s Sovereignty) for people who have sense.
Yusuf Ali
Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which Allah Sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they Trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth;- (Here) indeed are Signs for a people that are wise.
Shakir
Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day, and the ships that run in the sea with that which profits men, and the water that Allah sends down from the cloud, then gives life with it to the earth after its death and spreads in it all (kinds of) animals, and the changing of the winds and the clouds made subservient between the heaven and the earth, there are signs for a people who understand.
Dr. Ghali
Surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation (Or: differences) of the night and the day-time, and the ships that run in the sea with whatever profits mankind, and whatever water Allah sends down from the heaven – so therewith He gives life to the earth after its death and disseminates therein all kinds of beast – and the (constant) turning about of the winds, and the clouds subjected between the heaven and the earth, (these) are indeed signs for people who consider.
