We Come Willingly
ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَهِيَ دُخَانࣱ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلۡأَرۡضِ ٱئۡتِيَا طَوۡعًا أَوۡ كَرۡهࣰا قَالَتَآ أَتَيۡنَا طَآئِعِينَ ١١
Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke, and said unto it and unto the earth: Come both of you, willingly or loth. They said: We come, obedient.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
He said to it and the earth: “Come willingly or by compulsion.” They said: “We come willingly.”
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is Allah directing His care to the heaven; heaven and earth submitted willingly to His command.
Reflect
Submit willingly to Allah’s command today.
