A Directive to contemplate over Allah's Ayat
Allah directs His servants to contemplate His favors and gifts, as well as His great power that is demonstrated by His creating the heavens and the earth and the various types and categories of creatures in them. There are the angels, Jinns, humans, animals, birds, beasts, carnivores, insects and various kinds of sea creatures. The night and day alternate, each follows the other in succession, never ceasing to come, as decreed. One brings darkness and one brings light. Allah the Exalted also sends down the rain from the clouds when it is most needed. He is calling the rain, `provision', because it is the resource that produces various provisions,
فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الاٌّرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا
(and revives therewith the earth after its death,) after it was dry and had no vegetation or life of any kind. Allah said next,
وَتَصْرِيفِ الرِّيَـحِ
(and in the turning about of the winds,) sometimes towards the south and sometimes towards the north. Some are easterly winds and some are westerly winds, some bringing sea breezes and some blow from the land, some coming at night and some by day. Some winds bring rain, some cause pollination and some winds just revive the soul, while some others bear no benefit. Allah said first.
لاّيَـتٍ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
(are signs for the believers), then
يُوقِنُونَ
(who have faith with certainty), then
يَعْقِلُونَ
(who understand), thus ascending from one honorable stage to what is more honorable and higher in grade. These Ayat are similar to an Ayah in Surat Al-Baqarah
إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَاخْتِلَـفِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَالْفُلْكِ الَّتِى تَجْرِى فِى الْبَحْرِ بِمَا يَنفَعُ النَّاسَ وَمَآ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مِن مَّآءٍ فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الاٌّرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَآبَّةٍ وَتَصْرِيفِ الرِّيَـحِ وَالسَّحَابِ الْمُسَخَّرِ بَيْنَ السَّمَآءِ وَالأَرْضِ لآيَـتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ
(Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which sail through the sea with that which is of use to mankind, and the water which Allah sends down from the sky and makes the earth alive therewith after its death, and the moving creatures of all kinds that He has spread therein, and in the veering of winds and clouds which are held between the sky and the earth, are indeed signs for people of understanding.) (2:164)
إن في السموات السبع، والأرض التي منها خروج الخلق، وما فيهما من المخلوقات المختلفة الأجناس والأنواع، لأدلة وحججًا للمؤمنين بها.
يرشد تعالى خلقه إلى التفكر في آلائه ونعمه وقدرته العظيمة التي خلق بهما السموات الأرض.
ثم ساق - سبحانه - ستة أدلة على وحدانيته ، وكمال قدرته ، وجلال عظمته ويتمثل الدليل الأول فى قوله - تعالى - : ( إِنَّ فِي السماوات والأرض لآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ) أى : إن فى خلق هذه السماوات المزينة بالمصابيح ، والتى لا ترى فيه من تفاوت ، والمرفوعة بغير عمد . . وفى خلق الأرض الممهدة المفروشة المثبتة بالجبال . . فى كل ذلك لبراهين ساطعة للمؤمنين ، على أن الخالق لهما هو الله - تعالى - وحده ، المستحق للعبادة والطاعة .فالمراد بقوله - تعالى - : ( إِنَّ فِي السماوات والأرض ) أى : إن فى خلقهما ، كما صرح - سبحانه - بذلك فى آيات كثيرة ، منها قوله - تعالى - : ( إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السماوات والأرض واختلاف الليل والنهار لآيَاتٍ لأُوْلِي الألباب ) والمراد بالآيات : الدلائل والبراهين الدالة على قدرته - سبحانه - ووحدانيته .
وقوله: ( إِنَّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأرْضِ لآيَاتٍ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ) يقول تعالى ذكره: إن في السموات السبع اللاتي منهنّ نـزول الغيث, والأرض التي منها خروج الخلق أيها الناس ( لآيَاتٍ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ) يقول: لأدلة وحججا للمصدّقين بالحجج إذا تبيَّنوها ورأوها.
" إن في السموات والأرض لآيات للمؤمنين "
.إِنَّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَآَيَاتٍ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (3) موقع هذا الكلام موقع تفصيل المجمل لما جمعته جملة { تنزيل الكتاب من الله العزيز الحكيم } [ الجاثية : 2 ] باعتبار أن آيات السماوات والأرض وما عطف عليها إنما كانت آيات للمؤمنين الموقنين ، وللذين حصل لهم العلم بسبب ما ذكرهم به القرآن ، ومما يؤيد ذلك قوله تعالى : { تلك آيات الله نتلوها عليك } [ الجاثية : 6 ] .وأكد ب { إنَّ } وإن كان المخاطبون غير منكريه لتنزيلهم منزلة المنكر لذلك بسبب عدم انتفاعهم بما في هذه الكائنات من دلالة على وحدانية الله تعالى وإلا فقد قال الله تعالى : { ولئن سألتهم من خَلَق السماوات والأرض ليقولُن خلقهنّ العزيز العليم } في سورة الزّخرف ( 9 ) .والخطاب موجه إلى المشركين ولذلك قال : لآيات للمؤمنين } وقال : { آيات لقوم يوقنون } دون أن يقال : لآيات لكم أو آيات لكم ، أي هي آيات لمن يعلمون دلالتها من المؤمنين ومن الذين يوقنون إشارة إلى أن تلك الآيات لا أثر لها في نفوس من هم بخلاف ذلك . والمراد بكون الآيات في السماوات والأرض أن ذات السماوات والأرض وعداد صفاتها دلائل على الوحدانية فجعلت السماوات والأرض بمنزلة الظرف لما أودعته من الآيات لأنها ملازمة لها بأدنى نظر وجعلت الآيات للمؤمنين لأنهم الذين انتفعوا بدلالتها وعلموا منها أن موجدها ومقدر نظامها واحد لا شريك له .
ثم أيد ذلك بما ذكره من الآيات الأفقية والنفسية من خلق السماوات والأرض
أي في خلقهما
To say that the Quran is a revelation from the All-Powerful and Wise God amounts to giving on His behalf a definite standard on the basis of which its veracity can be demonstrated. Its divine origin means, moreover, that it will prove to be unassailable. The Quran will, in any case, prevail over its opponents. This statement was made in the Makkan period. At that time, circumstances were entirely against the Quran. But later history has most wonderfully testified to the veracity of this statement. The call given by the Quran met with the greatest success in history. Similarly, the notion of revelation from God the Omniscient and Almighty implies that all its contents must be based on knowledge and wisdom. The Quran was revealed before the age of science. But now, even in this age of science nothing mentioned in the Quran has been proved irrational. Furthermore, all the things in the Universe spread out far and near are testimonies to the truth of the Quran’s message. However, this testimony will be valid only for one who possesses a receptive and believing mind; who is capable of grasping the real meaning of such matters as are expressed in the language of signs.
إِنَّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ("Surely in the heavens and the earth, there are signs for those who have faith.. ..45:3) " The purpose of this verse, and similar other verses, is to affirm the Oneness of Allah. Similar verses are available in [ 2:164] إِنَّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ("Surely, in the creation of heavens and earth..." ) where their detailed commentary will be found. How the two verses prove the Oneness of Allah is also explained on that occasion. In the two places, there is a slight difference in the argumentation: Scholars interested might find the finer points of the difference discussed by Imam Razi in his Tafsir Kabir rather interesting. It is worth noting that in all these verses reference is made to the various signs in nature and a concluding statement is made on each occasion: Here it concludes: ` there are signs for those who have faith', in another place it concludes: ` there are signs for those who believe' and in a third place it concludes: ` there are signs for those who understand'. In all these cases, there are stylistic variations, but in addition the current verse points to the fact that only those people will be able to benefit who have faith. In the second case, it will be beneficial to those people who might not immediately embrace the Faith, but they do develop certainty in their hearts, in that these signs do point to the Oneness of Allah. Possibly this certainty one day or the other will turn into ` Faith'. In the third case, it could benefit those who may not be immediate believers or firm in belief, but they do have sound heart to understand. If they search into the signs with deep insight, they will inevitably end up with faith and firm belief. However, people devoid of sound intellect or unwilling to use it will remain unconvinced, even if thousands of evidence or arguments are put forward to them.
(Lo! in the heavens) in that which is in the heavens of sun, moon, stars, clouds, etc., (and the earth) and that which is in the earth of trees, mountains, seas, etc., (are portents) are signs and lessons (for believers) who are true in their faith.
Truly in the heavens and the earth there are signs (āyāt) for those who believe.He said:The signs (ʿalāmāt) are for the one who has certainty (yaqīn) in his heart, and who is guided by their existence (kawn) to the One who has brought them into existence (mukawwin).His words:
