The Holy Quran 27:61 — Surah An-Naml

Arabic text

أَمَّن جَعَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَجَعَلَ خِلَـٰلَهَآ أَنْهَـٰرًا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًا ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Translation

Or (is) He Who made the earth stable (solid so that it does not shake or tilt), Who created rivers in its midst, Who placed mountains on it, and Who has placed a barrier between the two seas (is He not better than the gods of Mushrikeen)? Is there (Can there be) another Ilaah with Allaah? No (there can never be another being with superior powers who deserves to be worshipped), but most of them (the Mushrikeen) are ignorant (people who do not want to understand Towheed).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, [the earth] is the dwelling place of men and animals: they live upon it in comfort and benefit from its produce. that is, He set mountains upon it so that it would stay firm and not tremble. its detailed explanation has passed only recently in Surah Al-Furqan.
