Commentary (one passage for ayahs 21:16, 21:17)
آیت 16 وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَآءَ وَالْاَرْضَ وَمَا بَیْنَہُمَا لٰعِبِیْنَ ”یعنی ہم نے یہ دنیا کھیل تماشے اور شغل کے لیے نہیں بنائی ہے۔ ہماری ہر تخلیق بامقصد اور اٹل قوانین پر مبنی ہے۔ اسی طرح دنیا میں قوموں کے عروج وزوال کے بارے میں بھیُ ”سنتّ اللہ“ اور قواعد و ضوابط بالکل غیرمبدلّ اور ناقابل تغیر ہیں۔
