مَّا خَلْقُكُمْ وَلَا بَعْثُكُمْ إِلَّا كَنَفْسٍ وَٰحِدَةٍ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌۢ بَصِيرٌ 28  أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُولِجُ ٱلَّيْلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِىٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ 29  ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْحَقُّ وَأَنَّ مَا يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ ٱلْبَٰطِلُ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْكَبِيرُ 30

28.  Your creation and your raising (from the dead) are only as (the creation and the raising of) a single soul. Lo! Allah is Hearer, Knower.

 

29.  Hast thou not seen how Allah causeth the night to pass into the day and causeth the day to pass into the night, and hath subdued the sun and the moon (to do their work), each running unto an appointed term; and that Allah is Aware of what ye do?

 

30.  That (is so) because Allah, He is the True, and that which they invoke beside Him is the False, and surely Allah, He is the Sublime, the Great.

28.  Maa  khalqukum  wa  laa  ba’-sukum  ‘illaa  ka-nafsinw-waahidah.  ‘InnAllaaha  Samii-‘um-Basiir.

 

29.  ‘Alam  tara  ‘’annAllaaha  Yuulijul-layla  fin-nahaari  wa  Yuulijun-nahaara  fil-layli  wa  sakh-kharash-shamsa  wal-qamar,  kulluny-yajriii  ‘ilaaa  ‘ajalim-musammanw-wa  ‘annAllaaha  bimaa  ta’-maluuna  Khabiir.

 

30.  Zaalika  bi-‘annAllaaha  Huwal-Haqqu  wa  ‘anna  maa  yad-‘uuna  min-  duuniHil-Baatilu  wa  ‘annAllaaha  Huwal-‘Aliyyul-Kabiir.

Commentary

 

It is commanded: Listen! Everything is under the Control of Allaah Almighty. Bringing all of you into being and reproducing after death is not difficult for Him. Creating innumerable living things and producing one living thing are equal near Him. Every matter depends upon His Desire. As soon as He intends, the thing is in existence. As He hears and sees everything at a time, like this producing one or abundant is equal for Him. You can observe His Divine Power in it that sometimes the day is larger than the night and sometimes the night is larger than the day. Sun and moon are busy in their individual works, have been and will continually be performing their duties properly according to the times prescribed for them. There is a dire need of drawing attention towards these matters, so that it may be known that the Rightful Worshipped is only Allaah Almighty. Other entire gods are false. Allaah Almighty is the Greatest and the Most High.

Commentary

 

Surely there is no solution of mankind’s difficulties save it that he should know Allaah Almighty and obey His Commandments in every matter. Having belief in Allaah Almighty is a natural thing for the mankind. If you see – right and left, ahead and behind, over and below, you will find that the entire universe has been decorated with countless things. Over the head, the sky has been filled up with innumerable small and big planets and stars. The land is below the feet which is chokeful with various kinds of creatures.

 

It is commanded: From whom you will ask that Who is the Creator of all these things, every individual will answer immediately – Allaah. However it is another matter that imagination and name of Allaah Almighty may be separate from one another, but the reply will be the same. O Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon him): Say to them! It is Allaah Who have all such Excellences. But most of the people do not understand it. Listen! If you are desirous to know correct concept concerning Him, you should meditate in it that if entire trees on the earth become pens, the water of the entire seas become ink, and the writers begin to write about the Excellences of Allaah Almighty, they cannot write all Excellences. Entire writing material will be finished but His Magnificent and Skillful Words will not be exhausted. The best way of imagining about Him is that we should believe in it that Allaah Almighty is the Most Powerful, Aware of all apparent and hidden Secrets, Overcoming, Creator, Knower and Seer of everything whether that is in the heavens or in the earth.
