If Allah so wills, I intend to write a complete tafsr, an exegesis, of the Holy Qur‘an that will contain such interpretations and speculations the like of which has never been written in English before. As to the phrase “and what you are threatened with,“ this may be a clue that the end of life on this earth will be terminated by a collision of an asteroid or a large size cosmic debri with the earth, but this is not the place to discuss such interpretations or speculations. “In the heavens is your sustenance“ may be a reference to the rain that descends from the heavens, the sky.
“And in the heavens is your sustenance and what you are threatened with“ (Qur‘an, 51:22). In 51:58, we read: “Surely Allah is the One Who bestows sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Strong One.“Īnother verse referring to our sustenance is this: Rain is also called rizq it helps sustain every living being on our planet. “Al-Razzaq“ is derived from rizq, sustenance, or anything of any benefit to man, animals, plants, etc., whereby the latter are sustained or are helped in their growth. “Surely Allah is the One Who bestows sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Strong One.“ (Qur‘an, 51:58).
