Surah al-Mulk ayah 15

Date: November 15, 2004 | 2 Shawwal 1425 Hijriah
Arabic text of ayah

Huwa alladhi ja'ala lakumu al-arda thalulan fa imshu fi manakibiha wa kulu min rizqihi wa ilayhi an-nushuru

He is He who made the earth manageable for you so that you can walk through its paths and eat from its provision, and unto Him is the resurrection

The following is an excerpt of commentary on this ayah, from Tafsir Ibn Kathir:

Then Allah mentions His favor to His creation in subjugating the earth to them, and making it subservient to them. This is by His making it a stable abode and dwelling place. He placed in it mountains and caused water springs to gush forth from it. He fashioned pathways, and placed useful things in it and places fertile for the growth of fruit and vegetation. Travel wherever you wish throughout its regions and frequent its countrysides and all the areas of its domain in your various journeys to seek earnings and trade. And know that your efforts will not benefit you anything unless Allah makes matters easy for you. Thus, striving by using the means (to attain something) does not negate the necessity of depending upon Allah (At-Tawakkul). This is similar to what Imam Ahmad recorded from Umar bin Al-Khattab, that he heard the Messenger of Allah say, "If you would trust in Allah as He truly should be trusted in, He would surely provide for you as He provides for the birds. They set out in the morning with empty stomachs and return in the evening with full stomachs." At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah all recorded this Hadith. At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Sahih." So this confirms that the bird searches morning and evening for its sustenance while depending upon Allah. For He is the Subduer, the Controller and the One Who causes everything. the place of return on the Day of Judgement. Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, As-Suddi and Qatadah all said that Manakibiha (its paths) means its outermost borders, its roads and its regions
