And Hu stretched out the earth and set therein firm mountains…(Qur’an 13:3)

Praise be to Allah … Who has ever been existent when there was no sky with domes, nor curtains with lofty doors, nor gloomy night, nor peaceful ocean, nor mountains with broad pathways, nor curved mountain roads, nor earth of spread floors, nor self-reliant creatures. (Imam Ali, attributed in Nahjul Balaga Sermon 89)

Hu is the Life of all things, the Light of all things, Glorious is Hu, the Most High, far above what they say about Hu (Imam Ali)

…and spread Your mercy over us through raining clouds, rain-fed blossoming, amazing vegetation, and heavy down-pours with which all that was dead regains life and all that was lost returns. (Imam Ali, Nahjul Balaga, sermon 114)

O Allah, give us water with a watering through which You will make the stone hills pour, fill the cisterns, flood the rivers, make the trees grow…(Imam Ali bin Hussein, Sahifa al-Kamilah, dua 19)
