Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 22 Al-Haj, Ayat 65-65
اَلَمۡ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ سَخَّرَ لَـكُمۡ مَّا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ وَالۡـفُلۡكَ تَجۡرِىۡ فِى الۡبَحۡرِ بِاَمۡرِهٖ ؕ وَيُمۡسِكُ السَّمَآءَ اَنۡ تَقَعَ عَلَى الۡاَرۡضِ اِلَّا بِاِذۡنِهٖ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوۡفٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ
﴿22:65﴾
(22:65) Have you not seen how Allah has subjected to you all that is in the
earth, and the vessels that sail in the sea by His command,113 and
it is He Who holds back the sky that it may not fall on earth except by His
leave? Surely Allah is Most Gentle, Ever Compassionate to people.
Notes
113. Here “the heaven” implies the whole of the universe above and below
the earth where everything is held in its own place and sphere.
