Tafsir ibn kathir. Surah Ar'Raad. Verse (8-9)




Αѕѕαℓααмυ αℓαιкυм ωαяαнмαтυllαнι ωαвαяαкαтυнυ. Tafsir ibn kathir. Surah Ar'Raad. Verse (8-9)
.
اللّهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنثَى وَمَا تَغِيضُ الأَرْحَامُ وَمَا تَزْدَادُ وَكُلُّ شَيْءٍ
عِندَهُ بِمِقْدَارٍ. عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الْكَبِيرُ الْمُتَعَال
8. Allah knows what every female bears; and what the wombs fall short of (in gestation), and what they may add. With Him everything is in a fixed measure.
9. All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Most Great, the possessor of the greatest hights.
Reflections on these verses:
Allah affirms His perfect knowledge, from which nothing is hidden.
He has complete knowledge of whatever every female creature is carrying – whether male or female, fair or ugly, miserable or happy, whether it will have a long or a short life.
Allah remains fully aware of all the developments that take place in the child while in its mother’s womb, and He watches over the decrease or increase in each of its limbs, and its potentialities, capabilities and powers.
Everything with Him is in proportion “for a term appointed.”
Allah has the records of the provisions and terms of His creation and made an appointed term for everything.
He is the One and the Only Lord for all the universe, its Creator, Owner, Organizer, Provider, Master, Planner, Sustainer, Cherisher, and Giver of security.
Allah declares that His knowledge is encompassing all of His creation.
Nothing ever escapes His observation – even if people wish to hide something from Him.
In the two Sahihs it is recorded that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said that the Messenger of Allah said:
“The matter of the creation of one of you is put together in the womb of the mother in forty days, and then he becomes a clot of thick blood for a similar period, and then a piece of flesh for a similar period. Then Allah sends an angel who is ordered to write four things. He is ordered to write down his provisions, his life span, his deeds, and whether he will be blessed or wretched.”)
Al-Bukhari recorded that `Abdullah bin `Umar said that the Messenger of Allah said,
“The Keys of the Ghayb (unseen knowledge) are five, nobody knows them but Allah. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow except Allah; nobody knows what is in the womb except Allah; nobody knows when it will rain except Allah; no soul knows at what place he will die except Allah; and nobody knows when the (Final) Hour will begin except Allah.”
