أَأَمِنتُم مَّن فِي السَّمَاءِ أَن يَخْسِفَ بِكُمُ الْأَرْضَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَمُورُ
Are you secure that He who is in the sky will not make the earth swallow you while it quakes?
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 67:16
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 67:16] See commentary of Bani Israil: 68; Qasas: 76 to 82. Allah has made this earth amenable, manageable and serviceable to man, but if he breaks Allah's laws, His wrath shall destroy him and all his works on the earth amid which he feels safe and secure. Refer to Araf, Hud, Yunus for destruction of the people who rebelled against Allah and His messengers. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: See my note in verse 5. Here "heaven" refers to the omnipotent rule of Allah over all the spiritual and material realms.
