Tafsir
Verse range: 31:10
Proofs of Tawhid Thus Allah explains His mighty power in creating the heavens and the earth, and everything that is within them and between them. He says:
خلق السماوات بغير عمد ترونها
He has created the heavens without any pillars that you see, Al-Hasan and Qatadah said, "It does not have any pillars, visible or invisible.''
وألقى في اﻻأرض رواسي
and has set on the earth firm mountains, means, the mountains which stabilize and lend weight to the earth, lest it should shake with its water. Allah says:
أن تميد بكم
lest it should shake with you.
وبث فيها من كل دابة
And He has scattered therein moving creatures of all kinds, means, He has placed throughout it all kinds of animals, the total number of whose kinds and colors is known to no one except the One Who created them. When Allah tells us that He is the Creator, He also reminds us that He is the Provider, as He says:
وأنزلنا من السماء ماء فٲنبتنا فيها من كل زوج كريم
And We send down water from the sky, and We cause (plants) of every goodly kind to grow therein in pairs, meaning, every kind of good produce in pairs, i.e., they are beautiful to look at. Ash-Sha`bi said: "People are also produce of the earth, so whoever enters Paradise is goodly and whoever enters Hell is vile.''
