Say, "Who provides for you from the heaven and the earth? Or who controls hearing and sight and who brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and who arranges [every] matter?" They will say, "Allah," so say, "Then will you not fear Him?"
Tafsir
Verse range: 10:31
The Idolators recognize Allah's Tawhid in Lordship and the Evidence is established against Them through this Recognition Allah argues that the idolators' recognition of Allah's Oneness in Lordship is an evidence against them, for which they should admit and recognize the Oneness in divinity and worship. So Allah said:
قل من يرزقكم من السماء واﻻرض
Say: "Who provides for you from the sky and the earth!'' meaning, who is He Who sends down water from the sky and splits the earth with His power and will and allows things to grow from it,
أءله مع الله
Is there a god, besides Allah (Who provides)! (27:62)
فٲنبتنا فيها حبا
وعنبا وقضبا
وزيتونا ونخﻼ
وحدآيق غلبا
وفكهة وأبا
Grains. And grapes and clover plants. And olives and date palms. And gardens dense with many trees. And fruits and herbage.'' (80:27-31)
فسيقولون الله
They will say: "Allah.''
أمن هذا الذى يرزقكم إن أمسك رزقه
"Who is he that can provide for you if He should withhold His provision! (67:21) Allah's statement,
أمن يملك السمع واﻻبصار
Or who owns hearing and sight, means that Allah is the One who granted you the power of sight and hearing. If He willed otherwise, He would remove these gifts and deprive you of them. Similarly, Allah said:
قل هو الذى أنشٲكم وجعل لكم السمع واﻻبصر
Say it is He Who has created you, and endowed you with hearing and seeing. (67:23) Allah also said:
قل أرأيتم إن أخذ الله سمعكم وأبصركم
Say: "Tell me, if Allah took away your hearing and your sight. (6:46) Then Allah said:
ومن يخرج الحي من الميت ويخرج الميت من الحي
And who brings out the living from the dead and brings out the dead from the living! by His great power and grace.
ومن يدبر اﻻمر
And who disposes of the affairs! In Whose Hand is the dominion of everything Who protects all, while against Whom there is no protector! Who is the One who judges with none reversing His judgement! Who is the One that is not questioned about what He does while they will be questioned
يسٲله من فى السموت واﻻرض كل يوم هو فى شٲن
Whosoever is in the heavens and on earth begs of Him. Every day He is (engaged) in some affair! (55:29) The upper and lower kingdoms and what is in them both, including the angels, humans, and Jinn are in desperate need of Him. They are His servants and are under His control.
فسيقولون الله
They will say: "Allah.'' they say this knowingly and they admit it.
فقل أفﻼ تتقون
Say: `Will you not then be afraid (of Allah's punishment)!'' meaning, don't you fear Him when you worship others because of your ignorance and false opinions! Allah then said:
