BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

Lo! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and
the difference of night and day, and the ships which run upon the
sea with that which is of use to men, and the water which Allah sendeth down
from the sky, thereby reviving the earth after its death, and dispersing all
kinds of beasts therein, and (in) the ordinance of the winds, and the clouds
obedient between heaven and earth: are signs (of Allah’s Sovereignty) for
people who have sense.

Lesson
In this verse,
Allah Almighty has explained uncountable signs of His power and sovereignty, so
that; the mankind must think about it and admit His Deity and Highness.
Creation of the
earth and the skies, circulation of the day and the night, floating of the ships
and the boats in the rivers and the seas, raining from the sky, the dead land
seems to be alive by the rains, wandering of the animals on the earth, subduing
of the airs and the clouds between the earth and the sky, if the entire these
are not the Signs of Powers and Sovereignty of God Almighty then what is this?
But only those people can think about it who have sense. Any nonsense doesn’t
take any lesson from anything.
|
And yet of mankind are some who take unto themselves (objects
of worship which they set as) rivals to Allah, loving them with a love like
(that which is the due) of Allah (only). And those who believe are stauncher
in their love for Allah.

Lesson
‘Andaadan – (similar, matching, opposite,
converse), for instance; love for Idols, statues or demi-gods etc. or leaders,
landlords, spiritual guides or any priest takes place in the heart opposite to God
Almighty and that love overcomes on the heart.
In the earlier
verses, God Almighty has described after telling about His Deity, Beneficence
and Mercy that He has created the entire Universe for the necessities of the
human beings, that is to say; the earth, the skies, the day, the night, the
boats, the rain, the production of the earth, the cattle, the quadruped, the
air and the clouds etc. the mankind reaps advantage from these things, fulfills
his needs and lives a comfortable life. He should be grateful to Allah Almighty
after obtaining these blessings and favors.
Repentance! Some
people forget Allah Almighty instead of being grateful to Him. They place
others at the Dignity of God Almighty who bestowed them His blessings. They
make them their worshiped, settle them His partners and expose their love and
faith for them which was required to be kept only for God Almighty. There is
recitation regarding such people in this verse.
Some stupid and
un-foreseeing people include idols, demi-gods and spiritual guides in
partnership with God Almighty and consider them powerful, that is to say; the
Christians worship Jesus Christ and Mary (peace be upon them) along-with God
Almighty. The Japanese consider their king as from the dynasty of God “I
seek refuge in ALLAH from Satan the outcast”.
Allah Almighty
commanded that the real love must be only for Him Who is the Creator, the
Master and the Worshiped. It is the sign of a perfect Believer that he would
have kept the most beloved to God Almighty; he should strengthen excessive love
for Him (Allah Almighty) in his heart.
It has come in the
Sayings of the Last Messenger, Muhammad (glory, grace, blessings and peace be
upon Him) “The Believer is that who has friendship and enmity for God
Almighty. The individual who is beloved of God Almighty and loves Him, he keeps
only that person his friend, who loves Him and with whom God Almighty is angry,
he considers him his enemy”.
