Commentary
It was
described in the previous verse that everything in the heavens and in the earth
and whatsoever is among them; belongs to Allah Almighty, and He is
Alone Owner of the entire things without any partner.
In the
verse being discussed today, the same matter has been commanded regarding the
time that everything whatsoever exists in the night or the day (any time)
belongs to Allah Almighty. By amalgamating both verses, it meant that
everything with regard to any place and time (everything at every place and
every time) belongs to Allah Almighty. That is to say; only He is the
Possessor of entire things. There is neither any partner of Him in proprietary
of anything at any place and at any time, and nor the claim of proprietary (of
anything) by anyone is befitting. Neither anything goes out from His Hold due
to change of place, nor does any difference come in His Proprietary and
Ownership due to passage of time.
While Allah Almighty
is Master, Owner, Possessor and Lord of all things, then only He is Provider of
all creatures’ necessities, because it is the responsibility of the Owner to
look after the things, which are in His control. It is compulsory for Him to be
Aware of each condition of the entire.
It is clear proclamation in the
verse that certainly Allah Almighty is the Hearer of all creatures and the
Knower of the conditions of entire things completely. It has been explained in
the Sayings of the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) in
this manner that He listens also to the sound of an ant’s feet, which is
creeping slowly on a very smooth stone in any hole. And it is the
state of His Knowledge that He
knows the measurement of the entire water of the oceans, weight of stones of
the entire mountains, calculation of drops of the rain and number of leafs of
the entire trees everything completely.
After explaining
this, Allah Almighty addresses His Messenger (grace, glory, blessings
and peace be upon Him): Ask them! Can I choose any protecting friend other than
such Lord, Who listens to everyone and knows everything, Who created the
heavens and the earth, Who provides all necessities, food and provision to
every creature?
Neither Allah Almighty
is needy of anything, nor anyone gives Him anything and nor anyone can give Him
anything. He is the only One Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who
provides food to His entire living creatures but is never fed by anyone.
