Exploring the Ayat of Creation and Self in the Quran

The podcast discusses how the Quran reveals that there are multiple types of Ayat or signs. These include Ayat of revelation, which are found in the Quran, and Ayat of creation, which are observed in the horizons and the natural world. Additionally, there are Ayat inside ourselves, meaning the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that guide us to understanding the truth. The Quran aims to guide individuals to recognize that their existence has purpose and meaning, and that they are not merely products of chance. By contemplating both the Ayat in the external world and the Ayat within themselves, individuals can arrive at fundamental conclusions about the truth and purpose of life.
