83. " is it then other than the religion of allah that they seek (to follow) ?
and to him submits whoever is in the heavens and the earth,
willingly or unwillingly,
and unto him they shall be returned."
commentary:
all the creatures existing in the skies and the earth submit to allah.
all people should submit to him, too. if some people hide this submission
in the ordinary conditions, when they confront with a serious danger, they
helplessly turn their hearts to him.
some people willingly submit to him in the ordinary situations, while
the totality of people have to submit at the case they feel danger.
every particle in the world, any atom or sell that exist, as well as
created things, all in all, follow the same rule that allah has assigned upon
them, and he is able to change it at any moment.
" is it then other than the religion of allah that they seek (to follow) ?
and to him submits whoever is in the heavens and the earth,
willingly or unwillingly,
and unto him they shall be returned."
explanations:
1. the existing world submits to him, then why do we not submit ?
when all the creatures of the world bow before him, why do we not
surrender ?
"... and to him submits whoever is in the heavens and the earth,... "
2. the final fate of ours is going unto him, then why do we not turn
to him from the beginning ?
"... and unto him they shall be returned."
