Gold and silver

الذهب والفضة

Adorned for people is the love of desires — women, children, heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; in Paradise the righteous wear bracelets of gold and green garments of fine and thick silk; and those who hoard gold and silver, give them tidings of a painful doom.

Cosmic signs, miracles and the Qur'an as sign

Sha'rawi holds that disbelief is an attempt to hide God's existence, and one hides only what exists. He divides the signs into cosmic signs that God made to serve humanity, miracles that God breaks natural order to bring through a messenger to confirm him, and the Qur'an itself as signs.
