make its cycle

and how it alternates

evidence that there is a Creator and that the world is systematic. It can not have just come about without a God.

The night leaving for it to be day, the system is very exact

endowed with understanding?All these four things just mentioned shows
that the world is so perfect, so systematic, that it could not have just came out of nowhere

wellThe Pharoah had denied the Hereafter and
committed many evil actions and therefore, he was punished for his actions

رزقه عليه فقدر ابتاله ما إذا وأماأهانن ي رب Ayah Sixteen: But when He tests him by straitening his﴾﴿فيقول
sustenance, he says: “My Lord has humiliated me.”
However, whenever Allah tests them by not giving them what they want, they blame Allah and are not grateful for what they already have
