سُورَةُ الذَّارِيَاتِ

Proofs of Allah's Oneness abound in the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth Allah reminds us of the creating of the higher and lower worlds, وَالسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـهَا (We constructed the heaven.) meaning, `We made it as a high roof, protected from falling,' بِأَيْدٍ (with Hands), meaning, with strength, according to `Abdullah bin `Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, Ath-Thawri and several others, وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ (Verily, We are able to extend the vastness of space thereof.) means, `We made it vast and We brought its roof higher without pillars to support it, and thus it is hanging independently.' وَالاٌّرْضَ فَرَشْنَـهَا (And We have made the earth a Firash), meaning, `We have made it a resting place for the created,' فَنِعْمَ الْمَـهِدُونَ (how excellent a spreader (thereof) are We!), meaning, `We spread it for its inhabitants,' وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ (And of everything We have created pairs,) meaning, all the created are in pairs, the heaven and earth, night and day, sun and moon, land and sea, light and darkness, faith and disbelief, death and life, misery and happiness, Paradise and Fire, in addition to the animals and plants. The statement of Allah the Exalted, لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ (that you may remem- ber.) and know that the Creator, Allah, is One without partners, فَفِرُّواْ إِلَى اللَّهِ (So, flee to Allah.) meaning, seek shelter with Him and trust in Him in all of your affairs, إِنِّى لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌوَلاَ تَجْعَلُواْ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـهاً ءَاخَرَ (Verily, I am a plain warner to you from Him. And set not up any other god along with Allah.) do not associate any partners with Him, إِنِّى لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ (Verily, I am a plain warner to you from Him.)

والسماء خلقناها وأتقناها، وجعلناها سَقْفًا للأرض بقوة وقدرة عظيمة، وإنا لموسعون لأرجائها وأنحائها.
