Sura 91
Aya 5
5
وَالسَّماءِ وَما بَناها

Mir Ahmed Ali

By1 the heaven as it is built!
  • The firmament above the skies with the rain-giving clouds—and the wonderful harmony with which the heavenly bodies work, in a Wonderfully organised teamwork with the mighty control of the Omnipotent Will, the raising of the water to be stored in the clouds—the distribution of the rain to the various parts of the earth according to mysteriously planned allotment of the fixed annual quota and thousands of the other marvels, are too great and unapproachable for the human intellect to assess the correct value or worth of even a single one of them.
    The three passages—verses 5-7, the reference is to the mechanism of heavenly bodiers and their functioning harmoniously and the earth; its expansion in a harmonious way and to the soul and the harmonious functioning of its various faculties. (A.P.)
