اِنَّ فِیْ خَلْقِ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ اخْتِلَافِ الَّیْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ الْفُلْكِ الَّتِیْ تَجْرِیْ فِی الْبَحْرِ بِمَا یَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ وَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مِنْ مَّآءٍ فَاَحْیَا بِهِ الْاَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَ بَثَّ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَآبَّةٍ ۪-وَّ تَصْرِیْفِ الرِّیٰحِ وَ السَّحَابِ الْمُسَخَّرِ بَیْنَ السَّمَآءِ وَ الْاَرْضِ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ یَّعْقِلُوْنَ(164)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth; the alternation of night and day; the ships that sail the sea carrying that which benefits people; the rain which Allah sends down from the sky, granting life to the earth after its death; His spreading therein all kinds of animals; the motion of the winds; and the clouds which are bound ˹to drift˺ between the sky and the earth[1]—in all ˹of this,˺ there are certainly signs for people of intelligence.[2]

Commentary

[1]

Reflecting upon each matter mentioned in the verse causes one to be overwhelmed by the wonders of Divine Power.

[2]

Sciences are a means of attaining some insight into the greatness of Divine Power; this insight will increase with a greater level of expertise. If one studies science with the intentions of serving Islam and attaining a higher level of realization of Allah Almighty, then this would be a great act of worship; this would establish compliance with the command of reflecting upon creation.
