Surah Adh Dhariyat Tafseer

By the heaven full of Hubuk,

Ibn Abbas said;

"Full of beauty, grace, magnificence and perfection."

Mujahid, Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Abu Malik, Abu Salih, As-Suddi, Qatadah, Atiyah Al-`Awfi, Ar-Rabi bin Anas and others said similarly.

Ad-Dahhak, Al-Minhal bin `Amr and others said,

"The meandering of the water, sand and plants when the wind passes over them; carving paths out of them, that is the Hubuk."

All of these sayings return to the same meaning, that of beauty and complexity. The sky is high above us, clear yet thick, firmly structured, spacious and graceful, beautified with stars such as the sun and orbiting planets such as the moon and the planets of the solar system.
