Allah mentions the mighty signs and immense blessings to be found in His
subjection of night and day, which follow one another; the sun and moon, which
revolve; the stars, both fixed and moving through the skies, offering light by
which people may find their way in the darkness. Each of (these heavenly bodies)
travels in its own orbit, which Allah has ordained for it, and travels in the
manner prescribed for it, without deviating in any way. All of them are under
His subjugation, His control and His decree, as Allah says:
[إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ
اللَّهُ الَّذِى خَلَقَ السَمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ
اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِى الَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا
وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ أَلاَ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ
وَالاٌّمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَـلَمِينَ ]
(Indeed, your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six
Days, and then He rose (Istawa) over the Throne. He brings the night as a cover
over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars
(all) subjected to His command. Surely, His is the creation and commandment.
Blessed is Allah, the Lord of all that exists!) (7:54) Thus Allah says;
[إِنَّ فِى ذلِكَ
لآيَـتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ]
(Surely, in this are proofs for people who understand.) meaning, they are
indications of His immense power and might, for those who think about Allah and
understand His signs.
[وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ
فِى الاٌّرْضِ مُخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَانُهُ]
(And whatsoever He has created of varying colors on the earth for you. ) When
Allah points out the features of the skies, He also points out the wondrous
things that He has created on earth, the variety of its animals, minerals,
plants and inanimate features, all having different colors and shapes, benefits
and qualities.
[إِنَّ فِى ذَلِكَ
لآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ]
(Verily, in this is a sign for people who reflect.) meaning (those who
remember) the blessings of Allah and give thanks to Him for them.
[وَهُوَ الَّذِى
سَخَّرَ الْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُواْ مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُواْ مِنْهُ
حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُواْ مِن
فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ - وَأَلْقَى فِى الاٌّرْضِ رَوَاسِىَ أَن
تَمِيدَ بِكُمْ وَأَنْهَـراً وَسُبُلاً لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ - وَعَلامَـتٍ
وَبِالنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ - أَفَمَن يَخْلُقُ كَمَن لاَّ يَخْلُقُ أَفَلا
تَذَكَّرُونَ - وَإِن تَعُدُّواْ نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لاَ تُحْصُوهَآ إِنَّ اللَّهَ
لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ ]
(14. And He it is Who subjected the sea (to you), that you may eat from the
fresh tender meat, and that you bring forth out of it ornaments to wear. And you
see the ships plowing through it, that you may seek from His bounty and that you
may perhaps be grateful.) (15. And He has driven firm standing mountains into
the earth, lest it should shake with you; and rivers and roads, that you may
guide yourselves. (16. And (by the) landmarks; and by the stars, they guide
themselves.) (17. Is then He Who creates the same as one who creates, not Will
you not then reflect) (18. And if you would try to count the favors of Allah,
you would never be able to count them. Truly, Allah is Forgiving, Most
Merciful.)
