With Him are the keys to the unseen, none knows them except He. He knows what is in the land and in the sea; and not a leaf falls except with His knowledge; nor a seed in the darkness of the earth; nor anything moist or anything dry; all is in a clear book.

[6:59] Said Nursi, an influential Sunni scholar and political figure, in his incomplete commentary of the Quran, Isharat ul'Icaz pulls our attention to the implication of verses narrating the miracles of previous messengers. He argued that the Quran, expressly or implicitly, symbolically or indicatively contains all the information in the world. Though this fancy assertion is not plausible, his argument regarding the purpose of the miracles mentioned in the Quran makes sense: to support their missions in their lifetime and to show us the ultimate goals of scientific and technological progress, and to inspire us to repeat them by acquiring the knowledge of divine laws embedded in nature. See 6:38; 16:89.
