Sura sasa inahamia maonyesho ya ishara za ulimwengu wote. Inaanza na tukio mbinguni likifuatiwa na tukio duniani, kisha picha ya upepo uliobeba maji mengi, kabla ya kuwepo kwa picha za uhai na kifo, ufufuo na kukusanywa. Matukio haya yote yanakataliwa na wale ambao, wakati lango la mbinguni linapofunguliwa kwao na wanapopanda kupitia humo juu zaidi na zaidi, hakika husema: "Ni macho yetu tu yaliyorogwa! Hakika lazima tumerogwa." (Aya ya 15)

The sūrah now moves on to an exhibition of universal signs. It starts with a scene in heaven followed by one on earth, then an image of winds fully loaded with water, before we have pictures of life and death, resurrection and gathering. All these scenes are denied by those who, when a gateway to heaven is opened for them and they ascend through it higher and higher, surely say: “It is only our eyes that are spellbound! Indeed, we must have been bewitched.” (Verse 15)

"Hakika Sisi tumeweka katika mbingu nyota kubwa (buruj), na tumezipamba kwa uzuri kwa wanaotazama, na tumezihifadhi kutokana na kila shetani aliyelaaniwa, isipokuwa yule anayejaribu kusikiliza kwa siri, basi hufuatwa na mwali wa moto ulio wazi kuonekana." (Aya 16-18) Hii ni mstari wa kwanza katika tukio kuu la kiulimwengu linaloeleza uwezo wa uumbaji wa Mwenyezi Mungu. Ni ushahidi wenye nguvu zaidi wa kutoweza kuigwa kwa uumbaji wa Mwenyezi Mungu kuliko kushuka kwa malaika. Unaakisi mipango ya kina ya Mwenyezi Mungu na uwezo Wake usio na kikomo unaoweka kipande hiki kikubwa cha uumbaji, ulimwengu. Neno 'buruj' (nyota kubwa) linaweza kurejea nyota na sayari zenyewe pamoja na miili yake mikubwa, au linaweza kurejea nafasi zake zinazobainisha mizunguko yake. Katika zote mbili, zinashuhudia uwezo mkuu nyuma ya uumbaji wake na usahihi na uzuri unaoakisi. "Hakika Sisi tumeweka katika mbingu nyota kubwa, na tumezipamba kwa uzuri kwa wanaotazama." (Aya 16)

“We have indeed set up in the heavens constellations, and endowed them with beauty for all to behold, and We have guarded them from every cursed devil, so that anyone who tries to eavesdrop is pursued by a flame clear to see.” (Verses 16-18) This is the first line in the great universal scene which tells of God’s creative power. It delivers a more telling testimony to the inimitability of God’s creation than any coming down of angels. It reflects God’s elaborate planning and His limitless power that puts into place this great piece of creation, the universe. The ‘constellations’ may refer to the stars and planets themselves with their huge entities, or it may refer to their positions which define their orbits. In both cases, they testify to the great power behind their creation and to the accuracy and beauty that they reflect. “We have indeed set up in the heavens constellations, and endowed them with beauty for all to behold.” (Verse 16)

Marejeo haya ya uzuri wa ulimwengu, hasa aina ya uzuri unaoonekana angani, yanaonyesha kwamba uzuri ni lengo lililokusudiwa nyuma ya uumbaji huo. Si ukubwa wala usahihi pekee vinavyokusudiwa, bali uzuri unaoonekana wazi katika pande zake zote. Kutazama angani kwa haraka usiku wa giza bila mwezi, pamoja na nyota na sayari nyingi zinazotutumia nuru yake hafifu, hutupa hisia ya uzuri huo wa kipekee. Hisia hiyo hiyo itaamshwa na kutazama angani kama hivyo usiku wenye mwezi mzima, unaosogea kwa hali ya kimapenzi, huku ulimwengu wote ukishikilia pumzi yake ili usimsumbue mwotaji mwenye furaha. Kutazama mara moja tu namna hiyo kunatosha kuonyesha kina cha uzuri katika uumbaji wa ulimwengu. Hilo litatufafanulia zaidi maneno ya Qur'ani hapa: {Hakika Sisi tumeweka katika mbingu nyota kubwa, na tumeipamba kwa wanaoitazama.} (Aya ya 16)

Kwa kweli, riziki anayopewa kila jamii imeamuliwa na Mwenyezi Mungu, kulingana na mapenzi Yake. Huzitoa kama Anavyopenda, wakati Anaouchagua, na kwa mujibu wa sheria alizoziweka kufanya kazi: "Hakuna kitu isipokuwa khazina zake ziko kwetu; wala hatukiteremshi isipokuwa kwa kipimo maalumu." (Aya ya 21)

In fact, the provisions given to every community are determined by God, according to His will. He grants them as He pleases, at the time He chooses, and in accordance with the laws He has set in operation: “There is not a thing but with Us are its storehouses; and We send it down only in accordance with a defined measure.” (Verse 21)

Hakuna kiumbe kinachomiliki wala kuwa na mamlaka juu ya chochote. Rasilimali za kila kitu ziko kwa Mungu katika ufalme Wake mtukufu. Yeye huwapa viumbe Wake, katika ulimwengu wao husika, kwa kipimo kilichowekwa. Hakuna kitu kinachotolewa au kugawiwa kwa kubahatisha.

No creature owns, or has power over, anything. The resources of everything are with God in His supreme realm. He grants it to His creation, in their respective worlds, according to a defined measure. Nothing is given or provided arbitrarily.

"Hakuna kitu ila hazina zake ziko kwetu; wala hatuteremshi ila kwa kipimo maalumu." (Aya ya 21) Maana yake hudhihirika zaidi elimu ya mwanadamu inavyoongezeka na kuendelea. Kadiri anavyojua zaidi kuhusu ulimwengu, jinsi ulivyoumbwa na jinsi unavyofanya kazi, ndivyo anavyoelewa vizuri kauli ya Qur'ani. Maana ya neno "hazina" huwa wazi zaidi baada ya mwanadamu kugundua asili ya elementi zinazounda ulimwengu wa kimaada, pamoja na muundo wake. Mwanadamu anajua kwamba hazina za msingi za maji, kwa mfano, ni atomi za oksijeni na hidrojeni. Hazina za chakula tulizo nazo kwa njia ya mimea ya kijani na mimea mingine ni pamoja na nitrojeni iliyopo hewani, kaboni, na oksijeni inayounda kaboni dioksidi, pamoja na miale ya jua. Mifano kama hii ni mingi, ikitoa picha wazi ya maana ya usemi "hazina za Mwenyezi Mungu", ambazo mwanadamu ameyajua mengi kati yake, lakini kiasi hiki ni kidogo tu ya kilichopo.

We have here a precise statement, “There is not a thing but with Us are its storehouses; and We send it down only in accordance with a defined measure.” (Verse 21) Its import becomes apparent as man’s knowledge increases and becomes more advanced. The more he knows about the universe and how it is made and operates, the better he understands the Qur’ānic statement. The meaning of the term, ‘storehouses’, becomes clearer after man has discovered the nature of the elements which form the material world, and their composition. Man knows that the basic ‘storehouses’ of water, for example, are the oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The storehouses of provisions we have in the form of green plants and vegetation include the nitrogen which is present in the air, carbon and the oxygen that form carbon dioxide, and the rays of the sun. Examples like these are numerous, giving a clear picture of the import of the expression, “God’s storehouses”, of which man has come to know much, but this much remains only a little of what there is.
