لِيَأْكُلُوا مِن ثَمَرِهِ وَمَا عَمِلَتْهُ أَيْدِيهِمْ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ
so that they may eat of its fruit and what their hands have cultivated. Will they not then give thanks?
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 36:35
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 36:35] No matter, how much man may prepare the soil and sow seeds or plant trees, unless the forces of nature help him, nothing can help him in getting any produce from the earth or to do anything else also in this world. Hence, whatever man eats are the products of the functions of the natural forces controlled and guided by the will of Allah, and no hand of any one else is at work, besides Him. Therefore he must always give thanks to Him. Shaykh Sadi said: The clouds, the winds, the moon, the sun and the heavens are working to make available to you a loaf of bread, (so) eat it not in ignorance-all of them are kept in control for your sake, never will it be fair if you do not prove your obedience to Him.
