The Holy Quran 42:29 — Surah Ash-Shuraa

Arabic text

وَمِنْ ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ خَلْقُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ ۚ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ جَمْعِهِمْ إِذَا يَشَآءُ قَدِيرٌ

Translation

From His (Allaah's) Aayaat (denoting His great power) are the creation of the heavens and the earth, as well as every creature that He has dispersed within the two. He has the Power to gather them all (for reckoning) whenever He pleases.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Every creature is in Allah's grasp: that is, just as delivering provision and arranging its means (rain and the like) are in His grasp, so too the heavenly and earthly causes of those means, and their effects and results, are His creation.
