Proofs of Allah's Oneness abound in the Creation of the Heavens and the EarthAllah reminds us of the creating of the higher and lower worlds,وَالسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَـهَا(We constructed the heaven.) meaning, `We made it as a high roof, protected from falling,'بِأَيْدٍ(with Hands), meaning, with strength, according to `Abdullah bin `Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah, Ath-Thawri and several others,وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ(Verily, We are able to extend the vastness of space thereof.) means, `We made it vast and We brought its roof higher without pillars to support it, and thus it is hanging independently.'وَالاٌّرْضَ فَرَشْنَـهَا(And We have made the earth a Firash), meaning, `We have made it a resting place for the created,'فَنِعْمَ الْمَـهِدُونَ(how excellent a spreader (thereof) are We!), meaning, `We spread it for its inhabitants,'وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ(And of everything We have created pairs,) meaning, all the created are in pairs, the heaven and earth, night and day, sun and moon, land and sea, light and darkness, faith and disbelief, death and life, misery and happiness, Paradise and Fire, in addition to the animals and plants. The statement of Allah the Exalted,لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ(that you may remem- ber.) and know that the Creator, Allah, is One without partners,فَفِرُّواْ إِلَى اللَّهِ(So, flee to Allah.) meaning, seek shelter with Him and trust in Him in all of your affairs,إِنِّى لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌوَلاَ تَجْعَلُواْ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـهاً ءَاخَرَ(Verily, I am a plain warner to you from Him. And set not up any other god along with Allah.) do not associate any partners with Him,إِنِّى لَكُمْ مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ(Verily, I am a plain warner to you from Him.)
تخلیق کائنات ٭٭زمین و آسمان کی پیدائش کا ذکر فرما رہا ہے کہ ” ہم نے آسمان کو اپنی قوت سے پیدا کیا ہے اسے محفوظ اور بلند چھت بنا دیا ہے “۔ سیدنا ابن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما، مجاہد، قتادہ، ثوری رحمہ اللہ علیہم اور بہت سے مفسرین نے یہی کہا ہے کہ ” ہم نے آسمانوں کو اپنی قوت سے بنایا ہے اور ہم کشادگی والے ہیں اس کے کنارے ہم نے کشادہ کئے ہیں اور بےستون اسے کھڑا کر دیا ہے اور قائم رکھا ہے، زمین کو ہم نے اپنی مخلوقات کے لیے بچھونا بنا دیا ہے اور بہت ہی اچھا بچھونا ہے، تمام مخلوق کو ہم نے جوڑ جوڑ پیدا کیا ہے، جیسے آسمان زمین، دن رات، خشکی تری، اجالا اندھیرا، ایمان کفر، موت حیات، بدی نیکی، جنت دوزخ، یہاں تک کہ حیوانات اور نباتات کے بھی جوڑے ہیں یہ اس لیے کہ تمہیں نصیحت حاصل ہو تم جان لو کہ ان کا سب کا خالق اللہ ہی ہے اور وہ لاشریک اور یکتا ہے پس تم اس کی طرف دوڑو اپنی توجہ کا مرکز صرف اسی کو بناؤ اپنے تمام تر کاموں میں اسی کی ذات پر اعتماد کرو تو تم سب کو صاف صاف آگاہ کر دینے والا ہوں خبردار اللہ کے ساتھ کسی کو شریک نہ ٹھہرانا میرے کھلم کھلا خوف دلانے کا لحاظ رکھنا “۔صفحہ نمبر8825
آیت 49{ وَمِنْ کُلِّ شَیْئٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَیْنِ لَعَلَّکُمْ تَذَکَّرُوْنَ۔ } ”اور ہم نے ہر شے کے جوڑے بنائے ہیں شاید کہ تم نصیحت اخذ کرو۔“ ”جوڑوں“ کی تخلیق میں ہمارے لیے کس کس پہلو سے نصیحت کا سامان ہے ؟ یہ جاننے کے لیے تحقیق کا میدان بہت وسیع ہے۔ یہاں پر اس حوالے سے صرف یہ نکتہ سمجھ لیجیے کہ اس مفہوم کی آیات آخرت سے متعلق عقلی دلیل فراہم کرتی ہیں۔ یعنی جب ہر شے کا جوڑا ہے تو دنیا کا بھی تو جوڑا ہونا چاہیے اور ظاہر ہے دنیاکا جوڑا آخرت ہے۔
Proofs of Allah's Oneness abound in the Creation of the Heavens and EarthThe preceding verses mentioned the reality of the Hereafter and the Judgment Day, and the punishment of those who denied the reality. The present set of verses reaffirm the perfect power of Allah, reminding us about the reality of the Day of Resurrection and allaying the doubt and suspicion of those who deny the reality. It proves the oneness of Allah and reiterates emphatically to believe in the Messenger ﷺ .بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ (And the sky was built by Us with might, and indeed, We are the One who expands.... 51:47). The word aidin, according to Sayyidna Ibn ` Abbas ؓ ، means strength or power in this context.
🔬 Scientific Connections & Modern Discoveries in Surah Adh-Dhariyat : 49
Empirical observations, cosmic phenomena, and biological facts correlated with this Ayah.
🧬 Biology
A team of researchers recreated a life-size oviraptor nest to investigate how these bird-like dinosaurs incubated their eggs millions of years ago. By combining physical experiments with heat transfer simulations, they discovered that oviraptors likely relied on both their own body heat and warmth from the sun.
Tiny, tooth-sized fossils have just reshaped the story of our deepest ancestry. Paleontologists have discovered the southernmost remains ever found of Purgatorius—the earliest-known relative of all primates, including humans—in Colorado’s Denver Basin. Previously thought to be confined to Montana and parts of Canada, this shrew-sized, tree-dwelling mammal now appears to have spread southward soon after the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.
A bird long thought to be a single rare species in Japan has turned out to be two. Scientists discovered that the elusive Ijima’s Leaf Warbler and a newly identified Tokara Leaf Warbler look almost identical, but their DNA and songs reveal they are distinct species. The finding marks Japan’s first new bird species discovery in more than 40 years and highlights how modern genetic tools are uncovering hidden biodiversity that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Trees planted to protect farmland from wind may not be the biodiversity boost many assume. In Japan’s wetland farming landscapes, shelterbelts benefited some birds but sharply reduced grassland and wetland species that need open space. Researchers found grassland bird abundance dropped by more than 70% near shelterbelts.
A surprising ecological makeover unfolded when mountain lions began frequenting a small preserve south of San Francisco. Deer activity dropped, plants recovered, and shifts among predators like coyotes, bobcats, and foxes followed. The study shows that powerful “trophic cascades” aren’t limited to remote wilderness—they can happen in small, suburban preserves too.
The Quran (36:36; 51:49; 43:12) states that Allah created all things in pairs (zawjayn) — which we would recognize as particles/antiparticles, positive/negative charges, male/female at the biological level. The concept of particle-antiparticle pairs (antimatter) was predicted by Paul Dirac in 1928 and confirmed in 1932. The Quran's general principle of duality in creation is broader than any specific scientific application but establishes the framework within which such discoveries fit.
