اللَّهُ
إِنَّ
فِي
ذَلِكَ
لَآيَاتٍ

Have they not regarded the birds disposed in the air of the sky: no one sustains them except Allah. There are indeed signs in that for a people who have faith.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Do they not look at the birds, held poised in the midst of (the air and) the sky? Nothing holds them up but (the power of) Allah. Verily in this are signs for those who believe.
