أَمَّنْ جَعَلَ الْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَجَعَلَ خِلَالَهَا أَنْهَارًا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًا ۗ أَإِلَٰهٌ مَعَ اللَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Commentary 27:60-61 These verses provide some arguments in support of the existence of the All-Mighty, His great powers of creation (خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ),…
On 27:60–61
أَمَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَنبَتْنَا بِهِ حَدَائِقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةٍ مَّا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُنبِتُوا شَجَرَهَا ۗ أَإِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ ۚ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ يَعْدِلُونَ﴿٦٠﴾ أَمَّن جَعَلَ الْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَجَعَلَ خِلَالَهَا أَنْهَارًا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًا ۗ أَإِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ أَمَّن يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْضِ ۗ أَإِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ ۚ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
27:60-61 These verses provide some arguments in support of the existence of the All-Mighty, His great powers of creation (خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ), and Revelation (وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً). In the diversity of His creation, He draws our attention to the fact that all is the work of One God (إِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ اللَّه). The first argument is taken from the marvelous power of the All-Mighty in nature (27:60-61), and the next when He manifests Himself in the human beings inner conscience, when he cries to Him in the agony of his soul (أَمَّن يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ) and Allâh listens to his cry (وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ). The existence and Oneness of the All-Mighty is not to be sought in the power of a human being as the conqueror of the forces of nature, but in his weakness. Thus, we are told that the proof of the existence of the Supreme Being and His Unity and great powers are manifested in the mighty forces of nature as well as in the weak mortals who then inherit the land (وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْضِ)
