Allah commands His servants to look at His creations that prove His power and
greatness. He says,
[أَفَلاَ يَنظُرُونَ
إِلَى الإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ]
(Do they not look at the camels, how they are created) Indeed it is an
amazing creation, and the way it has been fashioned is strange. For it is
extremely powerful and strong, yet gentle, carrying heavy loads. It allows
itself to be guided by a weak rider. It is eaten, benefit is derived from its
hair, and its milk is drunk. They are reminded of this because the most common
domestic animal of the Arabs was the camel. Shurayh Al-Qadi used to say, "Come
out with us so that we may look at the camels and how they were created, and at
the sky and how it has been raised.'' Meaning, how Allah raised it in such
magnificence above the ground. This is as Allah says,
[أَفَلَمْ يَنظُرُواْ
إِلَى السَّمَآءِ فَوْقَهُمْ كَيْفَ بَنَيْنَـهَا وَزَيَّنَّـهَا وَمَا لَهَا مِن
فُرُوجٍ ]
(Have they not looked at the heaven above them, how we have made it and
adorned it and there are no rifts on it) (50:6) Then Allah says,
[وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ
كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ]
(And at the mountains, how they are rooted) meaning, how they have been
erected. For indeed they are firmly affixed so that the earth does not sway with
its dwellers. And He made them with the benefits and minerals they contain.
[وَإِلَى الاٌّرْضِ
كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ ]
(And at the earth, how it is outspread) meaning, how it has been spread out,
extended and made smooth. Thus, He directs the bedouin to consider what he
himself witnesses. His camel that he rides upon, the sky that is above his head,
the mountain that faces him, and the earth that is under him, all of this is
proof of the power of the Creator and Maker of these things. These things should
lead him to see that He is the Lord, the Most Great, the Creator, the Owner, and
the Controller of everything. Therefore, He is the God other than Whom none
deserves to be worshipped.
