Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 29 Al-'Ankabut, Ayat 63-63
وَلَـئِنۡ سَاَلۡتَهُمۡ مَّنۡ نَّزَّلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَحۡيَا بِهِ الۡاَرۡضَ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَوۡتِهَا لَيَقُوۡلُنَّ اللّٰهُؕ قُلِ الۡحَمۡدُ لِلّٰهِؕ بَلۡ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ لَا يَعۡقِلُوۡنَ
﴿29:63﴾
(29:63) If you were to ask them: “Who sent down water from the sky and therewith
revived the earth after its death?” they will certainly say: “Allah.” Say: “To
Allah alone be praise and thanks.”101 But most people do not understand.
Notes
101. Here the word al-hamdu-lillah (Praise be to Allah) gives two meanings:
(1) “When all this is done by Allah, then He alone is worthy of all praise,
and none else”, and (2) “Thank God that you yourselves also admit this.”
