ÂYAH -  آية

Creation. The clear proof that no one can deny. The clear sign. Mark. A wonder, a miracle.

As an Islamic Term: The smallest unit of the Qur’an.

Any sign that evidently indicates and proves Allah's existence, oneness and attributes; all beings in the universe, each phrase of the Qur’an and the events that cause ma’nawî awakening and revival. Just as the smallest units of the Qur’an are âyahs arising from Allah’s attribute of Kalâm, so the beings in the universe are âyahs created by Allah’s attribute of Qoudrah; these are also referred to as takwînî âyahs.
