سُورَةُ المُلۡكِ
English — Sahih International
Do they not see the birds above them with wings outspread and [sometimes] folded in? None holds them [aloft] except the Most Merciful. Indeed He is, of all things, Seeing.
اردو — مودودی
کیا یہ لو گ اپنے اوپر اڑنے والے پرندوں کو پر پھیلائے اور سکیڑتے نہیں دیکھتے؟ رحمان کے سوا کوئی نہیں جو انہیں تھامے ہوئے ہو وہی ہر چیز کا نگہبان ہے
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Dan apakah mereka tidak memperhatikan burung-burung yang mengembangkan dan mengatupkan sayapnya di atas mereka? Tidak ada yang menahannya (di udara) selain Yang Maha Pemurah. Sesungguhnya Dia Maha Melihat segala sesuatu.
Ibn Kathir
How can You feel Secure against the Punishment of Allah while He is Able to seize You however He wil
This is another indication of His gentleness and His mercy with His creatures. He is able to punish them because some of them disbelieve in Him and worship others besides Him, yet He is forbearing, He pardons, and He gives respite for an appointed time without hastening. This is as He says,
وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ بِمَا كَسَبُواْ مَا تَرَكَ عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَلَـكِن يُؤَخِّرُهُمْ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِعِبَادِهِ بَصِيراً
(And if Allah were to punish men for that which they earned, He would not leave a moving creature on the surface of the earth; but He gives them respite to an appointed term: and when their term comes, then verily, Allah is Ever All-Seer of His servants.) 35:45 Here Allah says,
أَءَمِنتُمْ مَّن فِى السَّمَآءِ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ الاٌّرْضَ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَمُورُ
(Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven, will not cause the earth to sink with you, and then it should quake) meaning, that it would move back and forth, and be disrupted.
أَمْ أَمِنتُمْ مِّن فِى السَّمَآءِ أَن يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَـصِباً
(Or do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven, will not send against you a Hasib) meaning, a wind containing gravel that will strike you, as Allah says in another Ayah,
أَفَأَمِنتُمْ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمْ جَانِبَ الْبَرِّ أَوْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْكُمْ حَاصِبًا ثُمَّ لاَ تَجِدُواْ لَكُمْ وَكِيلاً
(Do you then feel secure that He will not cause a side of the land to swallow you up, or that He will not send against you a violent sandstorm Then, you shall find no trustee.) 17:68 And similarly, here Allah threatens them with His statement,
فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ كَيْفَ نَذِيرِ
(Then you shall know how has been My warning.) meaning, `how is My admonition and what will happen to those who disregard and reject it.' Then Allah says,
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ
(And indeed those before them rejected,) meaning, from the previous nations and the old generations that have passed. Then Allah says,
فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ
(then how terrible was My reproach) meaning, `how was My rebuke of them and my punishment of them.' Meaning, it was great, severe and painful.
The flight of Birds is by the Power of Allah and it is a Proof that He sees everything small n large
Allah says,
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الطَّيْرِ فَوْقَهُمْ صَــفَّـتٍ وَيَقْبِضْنَ
(Do they not see the birds above them, spreading out their wings and folding them in) meaning, sometimes they spread their wings out in the wind (gliding) and other times they gather and spread (flapping) the wings in flight
مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ
(None upholds them) meaning, in the air,
إِلاَّ الرَّحْمَـنُ
(except the Most Gracious.) meaning, Allah holds them up in the air by subjecting the air to them out of His mercy and His gentleness.
إِنَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ بَصِيرٌ
(Verily, He is the All-Seer of everything.) means, with what is beneficial and suitable for all of His creatures. This is similar to His statement,
أَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ إِلَى الطَّيْرِ مُسَخَّرَتٍ فِى جَوِّ السَّمَآءِ مَا يُمْسِكُهُنَّ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ إِنَّ فِى ذلِكَ لآيَـتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
(Do they not see the birds held in the midst of the sky None upholds them but Allah. Verily, in this are clear Ayat for people who believe.) 16:79
المُيَسَّر
أغَفَل هؤلاء الكافرون، ولم ينظروا إلى الطير فوقهم، باسطات أجنحتها عند طيرانها في الهواء، ويضممنها إلى جُنوبها أحيانًا؟ ما يحفظها من الوقوع عند ذلك إلا الرحمن. إنه بكل شيء بصير لا يُرى في خلقه نقص ولا تفاوت. بل مَن هذا الذي هو في زعمكم- أيها الكافرون- حزب لكم ينصركم من غير الرحمن، إن أراد بكم سوءًا؟ ما الكافرون في زعمهم هذا إلا في خداع وضلال من الشيطان. بل مَن هذا الرازق المزعوم الذي يرزقكم إن أمسك الله رزقه ومنعه عنكم؟ بل استمر الكافرون في طغيانهم وضلالهم في معاندة واستكبار ونفور عن الحق، لا يسمعون له، ولا يتبعونه.
