Translation
(15) It is He who has made the earth subservient to you, so traverse its regions and eat its provisions. To Him you shall all be resurrected. (16) Do you feel secure that He who is in heaven will not cause the earth to sink beneath you and then begin to quake? (17) Do you feel secure that the One in heaven will not send against you a whirlwind to pelt you with stones, so that you will know how [true] My warning was? (18) Those who went before them belied [the truth]: then how great was My rejection of them.
Commentary
(a) Everything on earth is extremely well-balanced. It is this balance which has made the earth habitable for human beings. Should the slightest disturbance ever occur in this balance, man’s life would be destroyed. We should be grateful to God for the balanced world provided to us and seek His gracious help against any destructive conditions that may develop as a result of the world’s equilibrium being upset.
