Transliteration:( Wallaahu ja'ala lakumul arda bisaataa )
“And Allah (اللَّهُ ) has made for you the earth a carpet.”
In this verse, Allah (اللَّهُ ) describes the earth as a carpet—something spread out and made comfortable for human living. This metaphor helps us understand:
🌍 The earth is balanced: not too hard like iron, nor too soft like water.
It is suitable for walking, living, cultivating, and building.
Just like a carpet provides comfort and utility, the earth provides everything needed for life.
While alive, we walk and live upon it.
After death, we are placed within it.
This reflects the earth’s role in both the temporary worldly life and the return to our origin after death.
