And the earth, He has set up it for the living beings.
Allah has ordained and arranged the earth with all its facilities, including food and all sustenance for all creatures. Mankind, who have been taught Adhikr and have been endowed with intelligence, are commanded that they should behave with all living beings in that awareness. But the believers, who are one in a thousand preferring the soul and the Hereafter, only behave with mankind and all living beings in that consciousness. See explanation 4: 37; and 87: 4. The remaining nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand are attracted to bodily and worldly life, so that they are involved in mischievous activities, destroying thousand communities of the Lord’s creatures. Thus, the verses they saw, heard, and touched will argue and witness against them, and will push them to Hell as explained in verse 9: 82. See explanation 41: 9-12; 50: 27-30; and 57: 19.
