In many of the verses, the Quran invites the wise, the thoughtful, the spiritually aware and so on, to reflect deeply on the universe and its marvels, even upon the normal natural events and the causes of their occurrence, and thus come to know the All-Knowing, All-Powerful, All-Wise, and Merciful One God. These verses often seek to awaken man and to draw his attention to those issues which are raised after proving the Creator's existence, such as Oneness, Power, Infinite wisdom, and other Divine attributes, especially His power to resurrect men for an eternal life which is accompanied by the reward and punishment of their acts in this world. However, in all these verses, in order to understand the unseen realities, man is invited to meditate on the signs of the manifest world by using his insight and innate perceptions so that he may understand thereby the supra-sensible realities and acquire useful and reliable knowledge of them.
