PT. 21 AR-RŪM CH. 30 whosoever is in the heavens and the earth. All are obedient to Him. 3008 28. "And وَلَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَوتِ وَالْأَرْضِ belongs كُلٌّ لَهُ فَيَتُونَ وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَبْدَوُا الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ Who 27. "And to Him He it is وَهُوَ اَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَهُ الْمَثَلُ الْأَعْلى keeps repeating it, and it is most فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ exalted state in the heavens and الْحَكِيمُن originates the creation, then easy for Him.

Commentary: In the preceding few verses reference has been made to five heavenly signs: (a) Man's origin; (b) relation between man and own his wife which leads to the procreation and expansion of human social life; (c) creation of mankind and marks the beginning of heavens and earth and the diversity of men's colours and tongues which has given rise to different civilizations and cultures; (d) phenomenon of the alternation of day and night; and (e) the coming down of rain from heaven which gives new life to a dead land. All these signs have been mentioned to show that God has full power to give new life to a dead people and that He can raise a people as good as dead morally and spiritually to the heights of glory and grandeur. This seemingly impossible change constitutes proof positive of the fact that in the next world, too,
