Lo! His is the creation and His is the command.[3] Blessed is Allah,[4] the Lord of the universe. _Footnotes_ - [1] The word 'day' in the above verse has been used either in the usual sense of the twenty-four hour unit of time, or in a more general sense of 'period' of time such as in the following verses of the Qur'an: Verily a Day in the sight of your Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning (al-Hajj 22: 47). The angels and the Spirit ascend unto Him on a Day the measure of which is fifty thousand years (al-Ma'arij 70: 4). For further explanation see(Fussilat 41, nn. 12-15.) - [2] It is quite difficult to appreciate fully the exact nature of the Qur'anic statement: '(Allah) ascended the Throne.' One possibility is that after the creation of the universe God focused His effulgence at a particular point in His Kingdom which is known as the Throne, from where He showers the blessings of life and power, and governs the whole universe. It is possible that the word 'Throne' stands for dominion and authority and that God's ascending the Throne signifies His actual taking over the reins of the universe after having created it. Whatever the exact meaning of the expression '(Allah) ascended the Throne', the main thrust of the verse is that God is not just the creator of the universe, but is also its sovereign and ruler; that after creating the universe He did not detach Himself from, nor become indifferent to, His creation. On the contrary, He effectively rules over the universe as a whole as well as every part of it. All power and sovereignty rest with Him. Everything in the universe is fully in His grip and is subservient to His will. Every atom is bound in obedience to Him. The fate of everything existent is in His Hands. Thus the Qur'an undermines the very basis of the misconception which leads man at times to polytheism, and at others to self-glorification and so to rebellion against God. This is the natural corollary of considering God divorced from the affairs of the universe. In such cases, there are two possibilities. One, that beings other than God are considered to have the power to make or mar man's destiny. Here, man is bound to turn to those beings in devotion and subservience. The second possibility is for man to consider himself as the master of his own destiny. Here, man considers himself independent of, and indifferent to, any higher being. It is significant that the words and figures of speech employed by the Qur'an to denote the relationship between God and man are closely related to kingship, dominion, and sovereignty. This is too conspicuous a fact to be missed by any careful student of the Qur'an. It is strange, however, that it has led some superficial critics and persons of biased outlook to conclude that the Qur'an reflects the milieu in which man's outlook was dominated by monarchical concepts, and that therefore its 'author', who in their view was the Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him), presented God as a sovereign ruler, an absolute monarch.Quite contrary to this is the fundamental truth which the Qur'an emphatically affirms - God's sovereignty over the heavens and the earth. It negates, with equal emphasis, that sovereignty belongs to anyone else. Such a doctrine demolishes the very assumption on the basis of which the above erroneous conclusion was derived. The Qur'anic concept of God's sovereignty is in sharp contrast to the idea that creatures of God may lay claim to sovereignty and kingship. In contrast to the weak, mortal kings of the world, God is eternal and all-powerfuL This undermines the very basis of the misconceived criticism that Islam has a monarchical basis since no hunian being can conform to the Islamic description of the sovereign. All sovereignty vests in the One True God. Hence, all those who claim total or partial sovereignty either for any person or group of people are merely cherishing an illusion. It is evident, therefore, that it is totally inappropriate for man, who is a part of the universe created and governed by God, to adopt any other attitude than that of acknowledging God as the only object of worship and as the only sovereign in a societal and political sense. - [3] This is an elaboration of the idea propounded in the note immediately above explaining the meaning of God's ascension to the Throne. To reiterate, God is not merely the sole creator but also the only One Who commands and governs. He has not detached Himself from His creation, leaving it to the care of others who might rule over it as they please. Nor has He granted independence to His creation or any part of it so that they might function as they, wish. On the contrary, His grip over the entire universe is very firm. He rules over it according to His sovereign will. If we find alternation taking place between day and night, it is a result of God's command. God has full power both to hold that process in abeyance, or to alter the very system which causes the alternation. The heavenly bodies - the sun, the moon, and the stars - are all absolutely powerless. They are totally subservient to God's overpowering will, and have been yoked to function according to His command. - [4] The word barakah signifies growth and increase. The notions of elevation and greatness as well as of permanence and stability are also an essential part of the word's meaning. Besides these the word inalienably carries nuances of goodness and beneficence. To say that God is full of barakah means that His goodness knows no bounds; that endless beneficence emanates from Him; that He is the Exalted One Whose loftiness knows no end; that His beneficence and loftiness are permanent, and thus they will never vanish or suffer decline. (For further elaboration see Tafhim al-Qaradn, (al-Furqan 25: nn. 1 and 19.) ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab Indeed; Allah, your Creator, is He Who created the heavens and the earth in six days* determined by His own unit of time and proclaimed in His calendar, then He set Himself on the throne of supremacy and dominion and of grace and mercy. He causes the day to lose its identity and its character by absorption into the night; both revolving swiftly in pursuit of each other and one dies into the other**. And the sun, the moon and the stars, He has governed by His cosmic laws and reduced to a state of subservience by His command. Indeed to Him belongs the creation of the whole and of all in all. Praise be to Allah, Creator of the universe and extolled are His glorious attributes. ### Bijan Moeinian Know that your Lord is the One Who created the heavens and the earth in six days/ period.

Dolayısıyla "Allah arşa istiva etti." sözü de kainatın yönetiminin Allah'ın elinde olduğunu ifade eder ([Yunus 10/3,](https://quran.so/10/3) [Ra'd 13/2,](https://quran.so/13/2) [Taha 20/5,](https://quran.so/20/5) [Furkan 25/59,](https://quran.so/25/59) [Secde 32/4,](https://quran.so/32/4) [Hadid 57/4](https://quran.so/57/4)). - [3] [Rad 13/2,](https://quran.so/13/2) [İbrahim 14/33,](https://quran.so/14/33) [Nahl 16/12,](https://quran.so/16/12) [Ankebut 29/61,](https://quran.so/29/61)[Lokman 31/29](https://quran.so/31/29), [Fatır 35/13,](https://quran.so/35/13) [Yasin 36/37-40,](https://quran.so/36/37) [Zümer 39/5](https://quran.so/39/5), [Leyl 92/1](https://quran.so/92/1)-[2.](https://quran.so/92/2) - [4] [Yunus 10/3,](https://quran.so/10/3)[31](https://quran.so/10/31), [Hud 11/123](https://quran.so/11/123), [Rad 13/31](https://quran.so/13/31), [Yasin 36/82](https://quran.so/36/82) ## Words | # | word | meaning | root | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | إِنَّ — inna | Indeed | — | | 2 | رَبَّكُمُ — rabbakumu | your Lord | ربب — Ra-Ba-Ba | | 3 | ٱللَّهُ — l-lahu | (is) Allah | — | | 4 | ٱلَّذِى — alladhī | the One Who | — | | 5 | خَلَقَ — khalaqa | created | خلق — Kh-Lam-Kaf | | 6 | ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ — l-samāwāti | the heavens | سمو — Sin-Mim-Vav | | 7 | وَٱلْأَرْضَ — wal-arḍa | and the earth | ارض — Elif-Ra-Dad | | 8 | فِى — fī | in | — | | 9 | سِتَّةِ — sittati | six | ستت — Sin-Te-Te | | 10 | أَيَّامٍۢ — ayyāmin | epochs | يوم — Ye-Vav-Mim | | 11 | ثُمَّ — thumma | then | — | | 12 | ٱسْتَوَىٰ — is'tawā | He ascended | سوي — Sin-Vav-Ye | | 13 | عَلَى — ʿalā | on | — | | 14 | ٱلْعَرْشِ — l-ʿarshi | the Throne | عرش — Ayn-Ra-Şin | | 15 | يُغْشِى — yugh'shī | He covers | غشو — Gayn-Şin-Vav | | 16 | ٱلَّيْلَ — al-layla | the night | ليل — Lam-Ye-Lam | | 17 | ٱلنَّهَارَ — l-nahāra | (with) the day | نهر — Nun-he-Ra | | 18 | يَطْلُبُهُۥ — yaṭlubuhu | seeking it | طلب — Ta-Lam-Be | | 19 | حَثِيثًۭا — ḥathīthan | rapidly | حثث — Ha-Se-Se | | 20 | وَٱلشَّمْسَ — wal-shamsa | and the sun | شمس — Şin-Mim-Sin | | 21 | وَٱلْقَمَرَ — wal-qamara | and the moon | قمر — Kaf-Mim-Ra | | 22 | وَٱلنُّجُومَ — wal-nujūma | and the stars | نجم — Nun-Cim-Mim | | 23 | مُسَخَّرَٰتٍۭ — musakharātin | subjected | سخر — Sin-Kh-Ra | | 24 | بِأَمْرِهِۦٓ ۗ — bi-amrihi | by His command | امر — Elif-Mim-Ra | | 25 | أَلَا — alā | Unquestionably | — | | 26 | لَهُ — lahu | for Him | — | | 27 | ٱلْخَلْقُ — l-khalqu | (is) the creation | خلق — Kh-Lam-Kaf | | 28 | وَٱلْأَمْرُ ۗ — wal-amru | and the command | امر — Elif-Mim-Ra | | 29 | تَبَارَكَ — tabāraka | blessed | برك — Be-Ra-Kef | | 30 | ٱللَّهُ — l-lahu | (is) Allah | — | | 31 | رَبُّ — rabbu | Lord | ربب — Ra-Ba-Ba | | 32 | ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ — l-ʿālamīna | (of) the worlds | علم — Ayn-Lam-Mim | --- Previous: https://quran.so/surah-al-araf/verse-53.md · Next: https://quran.so/surah-al-araf/verse-55.md Retrieved: 2026-08-14 Quran.so — https://quran.so — CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 — When quoting, name the translator.
