Al-Jalalayn

Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn

and carpets rugs of velvet-hair spread out.

Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn

Will they the Meccan disbelievers not consider by way of reflection the camels how they are created?

Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn

And the heaven how it was raised?

Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn

And the mountains how they were set?

Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn

The commencing with the mention of camels is because they are closer in contact with it the earth than any other animal. As for His words sutihat ‘laid out flat’ this on a literal reading suggests that the earth is flat which is the opinion of most of the scholars of the revealed Law and not a sphere as astronomers ahl al-hay’a have it even if this latter does not contradict any of the pillars of the Law.
