Verses 4-7Verses 1-3

      This chapter too begins with the Praise of God, which he deserves it exclusive of whatever that exists, because, He is the Originator, the Creator, the Cherisher, the Sustainer, and the Lord of all.

      The Arabic, ``FÄTIR'' means splitter and we have translated it to, ``Creator'', because the bright existence, splits up the dark veil of non-existence. There is also a theory that the whole universe has been an accumulated pile or mass, of some sort of matter or material, at the beginning. Then it has gradually burst out, or split to a new thing.

      Therefore God is praiseworthy for His creating power. When everything belongs to him, why not praise and thank? The creation is very complex, and it might be not easy for Man to see the ultimate hand of God, who is the first cause, in all creation. The more knowledge Man earns the more his wonder and amazement will be!

The wonders of nature and the secret spiritual forces seem to be limitless!

      Then the immediate reference is to the angels with their mysterious power in nature. They are all Messengers of God as the above verse (NO.1) implies.

      The message that they convey from Creator to creatures, is either genital or canonical. By their wings we take it to mean their power and various abilities. Some of them are the writers of the deeds of Man. Some are angels of death whose task is to separate the soul from the body in Man's death bed. Some others are bearers of good news, and others are warners.

      Angels do not have a material body, but they can appear in the form of a man, or other creature. They are BEINGS, expressive of powers, which may be typified by having two, three, four, or more wings of power, or even as many as six hundred wings that GABRIEL is said to have. Thus the wings of angels are not like physical wings of the birds. They take the Message or the, ``WILL'' of God, and perform it in a numberous ways. The angels do not eat or drink, nor do they marry.

      The second verse implies that, when God intends something for a servant of His, there are none to prevent Him and vice versa. He is the only Creator and the only Sustainer, Who provides for His creatures from the sky and earth.

      God is the Creatorِthe Sustainerِand the Lord of all creation, and His Mercy and Grace reaches all His creatures, and nothing can intercept His Mercy or hinder His gifts. He always fulfils His purpose, and no one and nothing, can frustrate Him in His plan, or prevent him from doing what He wills. What Allah bestows, and whatever He withholds, are all mere kindness and Mercy:-

      ``Whatever of Mercy Allah opens for people, there is no preventer for it, and what He withholds, no one can send it for him, apart from Allah. And He is the Exalted in might, the most Wise.''
