Allah said,
[وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ
وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِى لأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّـى]
(He has subjected the sun and the moon, each running (its course) for a term
appointed.) It was said that the sun and the moon continue their course until
they cease doing so upon the commencement of the Final Hour, as Allah stated,
[وَالشَّمْسُ تَجْرِى
لِمُسْتَقَرٍّ لَّهَـا]
(And the sun runs on its fixed course for a term (appointed).)[36:38] It was
also said that the meaning is: until they settle under the Throne of Allah after
passing the other side of the earth. So when they, and the rest of the planetary
bodies reach there, they are at the furthest distance from the Throne. Because
according to the correct view, which the texts prove, it is shaped like a domb,
under which is all of the creation. It is not circular like the celestial
bodies, because it has pillars by which it is carried. This fact is clear to
those who correctly understand the Ayat and authentic Hadiths. All the (praise
is due to) Allah and all the favors are from Him. Allah mentioned the sun and
the moon here because they are among the brightest seven heavenly objects.
Therefore, if Allah subjected these to His power, then it is clear that He has
also subjected all other heavenly objects. Allah said in other Ayat,
[لاَ تَسْجُدُواْ
لِلشَّمْسِ وَلاَ لِلْقَمَرِ وَاسْجُدُواْ لِلَّهِ الَّذِى خَلَقَهُنَّ إِن كُنتُمْ
إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ]
(Prostrate yourselves not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate
yourselves to Allah Who created them, if you (really) worship Him.) [41:37] and,
[وَالشَّمْسَ
وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ أَلاَ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالاٌّمْرُ
تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَـلَمِينَ]
(And (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His command.
Surely, His is the creation and commandment. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of all
that exists!) [7:54] Allah's statement next,
[يُفَصِّلُ الآيَـتِ
لَعَلَّكُمْ بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوقِنُونَ]
(He explains the Ayat in detail, that you may believe with certainty in the
Meeting with your Lord.) means, He explains the signs and clear evidences that
testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Him. These evidences
prove that He will resurrect creation if He wills, just as He started it.
[وَهُوَ الَّذِى
مَدَّ الاٌّرْضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَاسِىَ وَأَنْهَـراً وَمِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَتِ
جَعَلَ فِيهَا زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ يُغْشِى الَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ إِنَّ فِى ذلِكَ
لآيَـتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ - وَفِى الاٌّرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُّتَجَـوِرَتٌ
وَجَنَّـتٌ مِّنْ أَعْنَـبٍ وَزَرْعٌ وَنَخِيلٌ صِنْوَنٌ وَغَيْرُ صِنْوَنٍ يُسْقَى
بِمَآءٍ وَحِدٍ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ فِى الاٍّكُلِ إِنَّ فِى ذلِكَ
لآيَـتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ ]
(3. And it is He Who spread out the earth, and placed therein firm mountains
and rivers and of every kind of fruit He made Zawjayn Ithnayn (two in pairs). He
brings the night as a cover over the day. Verily, in these things, there are
Ayat (signs) for people who reflect. ) (4. And in the earth are neighboring
tracts, and gardens of vines, and green crops (fields), and date palms, growing
into two or three from a single stem root, or otherwise, watered with the same
water; yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Verily, in
these things there are Ayat (signs) for the people who understand.)
