Sura 16
Aya 79
79
أَلَم يَرَوا إِلَى الطَّيرِ مُسَخَّراتٍ في جَوِّ السَّماءِ ما يُمسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۗ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِقَومٍ يُؤمِنونَ

Muhammad Asad

Have, then, they [who deny the truth] never considered the birds, enabled [by God] to fly in mid-air,1 with none but God holding them aloft? In this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who will believe!
  • Lit., "subservient [to God's laws] in the air of the sky".
