Tafseer Ibn Kathir

People neglect to ponder the Signs before Them

Allah says;

وَكَأَيِّن مِّن ايَةٍ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالَارْضِ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضُونَ



And how many a sign in the heavens and the earth they pass by, while they are averse therefrom.

Allah states that most people do not think about His signs and proofs of His Oneness that He created in the heavens and earth.

Allah created brilliant stars and rotating heavenly objects and planets, all made subservient. There are many plots of fertile land next to each other on earth, and gardens, solid mountains, lively oceans, with their waves smashing against each other, and spacious deserts. There are many live creatures and others that have died; and animals, plants and fruits that are similar in shape, but different in taste, scent, color and attributes.

All praise is due to Allah the One and Only, Who created all types of creations, Who Alone will remain and last forever. It is He Who is unique in His Names and Attributes.

Allah said next,

وَمَا يُوْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ بِاللّهِ إِلاَّ وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ
