Surah Al Jathiyah Tafseer

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُم مَّا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الاَْرْضِ

And has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth;

i.e. the stars, the mountains, the seas, the rivers and all that you use for your benefit; these are all from His favor, kindness and bounty.

Allah's statement next,

جَمِيعًا مِّنْهُ

it is all from Him.

i.e. Alone without partners in giving any of it.

Allah the Exalted said in another Ayah,

وَمَا بِكُم مِّن نِّعْمَةٍ فَمِنَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ إِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فَإِلَيْهِ تَجْـَرُونَ

And whatever of blessings you have, it is from Allah. Then, when harm touches you unto Him you cry aloud for help. (16:53)

Ibn Jarir recorded that Al-`Awfi reported that Ibn Abbas said about Allah's statement,

(And has subjected to you all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth; it is all from Him.)

"Everything is from Allah, and that is a Name from His Names. So it all comes from Him without rivals to dispute His authority; surely, this fact is completely certain."

Allah said.

إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَايَاتٍ لَّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Verily, in it are signs for a people who think deeply.

The Command to be Patient with the Harm of Idolators
