Translation
He created the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; He set on the earth mountains standing firm, lest it should shake with you; and He scattered through it beasts of all kinds. We send down rain from the sky, and produce on the earth every kind of noble creature, in pairs.
Tafsir
He created the skies without any pillars that you can see ('amad is the plural of 'imaad, which is an ustuwaana, 'a column') - this is the truth since there are no actual pillars - and cast high mountains into the earth, lest it shake with you, and He dispersed therein all kinds beasts. And We sent down (there is a shift from the third [to the second] person) water from the sky and We caused to grow in it of every splendid kind, [every] fair specimen.
Proofs of Tawhid
Thus Allah explains His mighty power in creating the heavens and the earth, and everything that is within them and between them.
He says:
خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِغَيۡرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوۡنَهَا
He has created the heavens without any pillars that you see,
Al-Hasan and Qatadah said,
It does not have any pillars, visible or invisible.
وَأَلۡقَى فِي الاۡأَرۡضِ رَوَاسِيَ
and has set on the earth firm mountains,
means, the mountains which stabilize and lend weight to the earth, lest it should shake with its water.
Allah says:
أَن تَمِيدَ بِكُمۡ
lest it should shake with you.
وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ
And He has scattered therein moving creatures of all kinds,
means, He has placed throughout it all kinds of animals, the total number of whose kinds and colors is known to no one except the One Who created them.
When Allah tells us that He is the Creator, He also reminds us that He is the Provider, as He says:
وَأَنزَلۡنَا مِنَ السَّمَاء مَاء فَأَنبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٍ كَرِيمٍ
And We send down water from the sky, and We cause (plants) of every goodly kind to grow therein in pairs,
meaning, every kind of good produce in pairs, i.e., they are beautiful to look at.
Ash-Sha`bi said:
People are also produce of the earth, so whoever enters Paradise is goodly and whoever enters Hell is vile.
هَذَا خَلۡقُ اللَّهِ
This is the creation of Allah.
means, all that Allah has mentioned here of the creation of the heavens and earth and everything in between stems from His power of creation and control alone, and He has no partner or associate in that,
Allah says:
فَأَرُونِي مَاذَا خَلَقَ الَّذِينَ مِن دُونِهِ
So, show Me that which those besides Him have created.
those idols and rivals whom you worship and call upon.
بَلِ الظَّالِمُونَ
Nay, the wrongdoers,
means the idolators who associate others in worship with Allah.
فِي ضَلَلٍ
in error,
means, they are ignorant and blind.
مُّبِينٍ
plain,
means, it is clear and obvious, and not at all hidden.
