Surah Al Ghashiyah Tafseer

The Exhortation to look at the Creation of the Camel, the Heaven, the Mountains and the Earth

Allah commands His servants to look at His creations that prove His power and greatness. He says,

أَفَلَ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الاِْبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ

Do they not look at the camels, how they are created?

Indeed it is an amazing creation, and the way it has been fashioned is strange. For it is extremely powerful and strong, yet gentle, carrying heavy loads. It allows itself to be guided by a weak rider. It is eaten, benefit is derived from its hair, and its milk is drunk. They are reminded of this because the most common domestic animal of the Arabs was the camel.

وَإِلَى السَّمَاء كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ
