Alhamdulillah! InshaAllah, we continue our study of Surah Al-An’am.
Recap of Previous Ayahs
Yesterday, we explored the two main objections raised by the Quraysh against the Prophet ﷺ:
1️⃣ Demand for a physical miracle – They insisted on seeing a written scripture (Qirtas) instead of just hearing the Qur’an.
2️⃣ False claim that the Prophet ﷺ said he was an angel – A deliberate misrepresentation to discredit him.
Even if Allah granted their demands, they would still reject the message, calling it “clear magic” (سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ).

Today’s Focus: Ayahs 12-16
🌍 Who Owns Everything in the Heavens & Earth? (Ayah 12)
Allah now challenges their beliefs:
🔹 “To whom belongs everything in the heavens and the earth?”
🔹 The correct answer is Allah, yet the Quraysh refuse to acknowledge His absolute ownership.
💡 Key Difference Between Creation & Ownership:
• They admitted Allah created everything.
• But they refused to acknowledge that everything still belongs to Him.
📝 This denial allows them to justify disobedience – if they accepted Allah’s ownership, they would have to obey Him.
🌙 Everything Stationary by Night & Day Belongs to Allah (Ayah 13)
🔹 وَلَهُۥ مَا سَكَنَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ
🔹 “To Him belongs whatever is stationary by night and by day.”
Why mention “stationary at night” and not “active during the day”?
📌 Missing words are intentional – the Qur’an expects us to think and complete the meaning.
📌 This triggers reflection: if we can complete the thought, why can’t we think about the One who created us?
📌 Arabic is deep & precise – sometimes words are omitted, but their meaning remains.
