Quran 27:63 (Ayah An-Naml)
(O Prophet) Or ˹ask them (the disbelievers),˺ “Who guides you in the darkness of the land and sea, and sends the winds ushering in His mercy ? Is it another god besides Allah ? Exalted is Allah above what they associate ˹with Him˺ ! Quran 27:63 [Surah An-Naml (The Ant)]
Surah Naml is named after ‘the Ant’ mentioned in (27:18).
This is the only mention of ‘the Ant’ in the whole of the Qur’an.
There are 93 Ayat in this Surah.
اَمَّنۡ يَّهۡدِيۡكُمۡ فِىۡ ظُلُمٰتِ الۡبَرِّ وَ الۡبَحۡرِ وَمَنۡ يُّرۡسِلُ الرِّيٰحَ بُشۡرًۢا بَيۡنَ يَدَىۡ رَحۡمَتِهٖؕ ءَاِلٰـهٌ مَّعَ اللّٰهِ​ؕ تَعٰلَى اللّٰهُ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُوۡنَؕ‏ ٦٣
The theme of the Surah is divine guidance in history.
Allah sent His Prophets to different people. Some accepted them and were guided,
while others denied them and they saw the consequences of their denial.
The Surah also contrasts between the principles of Tawhid and shirk.
بھلا کون ہے جو تمہیں راستہ دکھاتا ہے خشکی اور سمندر کے اندھیروں میں ؟ اور کون بھیجتا ہے ہواؤں کو بشارت دیتی ہوئی اپنے باران رحمت کے آگے آگے کیا کوئی اور معبود بھی ہے اللہ کے ساتھ ؟ بہت بلند وبالا ہے اللہ اس شرک سے جو یہ لوگ کرتے ہیں ٦٣
