أَي : أَلَمْ تُشَاهِدْ بِبَصَرِكَ وَقَلْبِكَ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكَ السَّابِغَةَ، وَأَيَادِيَهُ الْوَاسِعَةَ، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ} مِنْ حَيَوَانَاتٍ وَنَبَاتٍ وَجَمَادَاتٍ، فَجَمِيعُ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ، مُسَخَّرٌ لِبَنِي آدَمَ حَيَوَانَاتُهَا لِرُكُوبِهِ، وَحَمْلِهِ، وَأَعْمَالِهِ، وَأَكْلِهِ، وَأَنْوَاعِ انْتِفَاعِهِ وَأَشْجَارُهَا، وَثِمَارُهَا يَقْتَاتُهَا وَقَدْ سُلِّطَ عَلَى غَرْسِهَا وَاسْتِغْلَالِهَا، وَمَعَادِنُهَا، يَسْتَخْرِجُهَا، وَيَنْتَفِعُ بِهَا، {وَالْفُلْكِ} أَي: وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْفُلْكَ، وَهِيَ السُّفُنُ تَجْرِي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِأَمْرِهِ تَحْمِلُكُمْ، وَتَحْمِلُ تِجَارَاتِكُمْ، وَتُوصِلُكُمْ مِنْ مَحَلٍّ إِلَى مَحَلٍّ وَتَسْتَخْرِجُونَ مِنَ الْبَحْرِ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا، وَمِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ بِكُمْ أَنَّهُ يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ} فَلَوْلَا رَحْمَتُهُ وَقُدْرَتُهُ، لَسَقَطَتِ السَّمَاءُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ، فَتَلِفَ مَا عَلَيْهَا، وَهَلَكَ مَنْ فِيهَا {إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولَا وَلَئِنْ زَالَتَا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا} {إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ} أَرْحَمُ بِهِمْ مِنْ وَالِدَيْهِمْ، وَمِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَلِهَذَا يُرِيدُ لَهُمُ الْخَيْرَ، وَيُرِيدُونَ لَهَا الشَّرَّ وَالضُّرَّ، وَمِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ، أَنْ سَخَّرَ لَهُمْ مَا سَخَّرَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَشْيَاءِ.

Meaning: Have you not witnessed with your own eyes and heart the abundant grace of your Lord, His vast favors, and how Allah has subjected to you everything on earth—animals, plants, and inanimate objects? All that is on earth is at the service of humanity: animals for riding, transport, labor, food, and various other benefits; trees and fruits for sustenance, which humans have been empowered to plant and cultivate; and minerals, which they extract and put to use. {And the ships}: He has also subjected the ships to you, which sail the seas by His command, carrying you and your merchandise, and transporting you from place to place, while you extract ornaments from the sea to wear. Among His mercies is that {He withholds the sky from falling upon the earth}; were it not for His mercy and power, the sky would collapse upon the earth, destroying everything on it and perishing all within it. {Indeed, Allah holds the heavens and the earth from ceasing to exist. And if they were to cease, no one could hold them after Him. Indeed, He is Ever-Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.} {Indeed, Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful}, more merciful to them than their own parents, and even more than they are to themselves. For this reason, He desires good for them, while they often desire evil and harm for themselves. It is part of His mercy that He has subjected these things to them.

{وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَحْيَاكُمْ} أَوْجَدَكُمْ مِنَ الْعَدَمِ {ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكُمْ} بَعْدَ أَنْ أَحْيَاكُمْ، {ثُمَّ يُحْيِيكُمْ} بَعْدَ مَوْتِكُمْ، لِيُجَازِيَ الْمُحْسِنَ بِإِحْسَانِهِ، وَالْمُسِيءَ بِإِسَاءَتِهِ، {إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ} أَيْ جِنْسَهُ إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَهُ اللَّهُ {لَكَفُورٌ} لِنِعَمِ اللَّهِ، كَفُورٌ بِاللَّهِ لَا يَعْتَرِفُ بِإِحْسَانِهِ، بَلْ رُبَّمَا كَفَرَ بِالْبَعْثِ وَقُدْرَةِ رَبِّهِ.

{And it is He who gave you life}, bringing you into existence from nothing, {then He will cause you to die} after granting you life, {then He will bring you to life} again after your death to reward the righteous for their goodness and the wicked for their evil. {Indeed, mankind}—referring to the human race, except for those whom Allah has protected—{is ungrateful} for the blessings of Allah, failing to acknowledge His benevolence, and perhaps even denying the Resurrection and the power of their Lord.

{لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنْسَكًا هُمْ نَاسِكُوهُ فَلَا يُنَازِعُنَّكَ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَادْعُ إِلَى رَبِّكَ إِنَّكَ لَعَلَى هُدًى مُسْتَقِيمٍ * وَإِنْ جَادَلُوكَ فَقُلِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ * اللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِيمَا كُنْتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ * أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابٍ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ}

{For every nation We have appointed a ritual which they are to observe. So let them not dispute with you concerning the matter. Invite to your Lord; you are indeed upon a straight path. * If they dispute with you, say, 'Allah is most knowing of what you do.' * Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which you used to differ. * Do you not know that Allah knows what is in the heaven and the earth? Indeed, that is in a record. That, for Allah, is easy.}
