Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الاَْرْضَ قَرَارًاAllah, it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place,means, `He made it stable and spread it out for you, so that you might live on it and travel about in it; He strengthened it with the mountains so that it does not shake with you.'وَالسَّمَاء بِنَاءand the sky as a canopy,means, `a roof covering and protecting the world.'وَصَوَّرَكُمْ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَكُمْand has given you shape and made your shapes good,means, `He created you in the best and most perfect form.'وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِand has provided you with good and pure things.means, of food and drink in this world.Allah states that that He is the Creator of the dwelling place and of the inhabitants and of the provision; He is the Creator and Provider, as He says in Surah Al-Baqarah:يَـأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اعْبُدُواْ رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِىْ خَلَقَكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَالَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الاٌّرْضَ فِرَاشاً وَالسَّمَأءَ بِنَأءً وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَأءِ مَأءً فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِ مِنَ الثَّمَرَتِ رِزْقاً لَّكُمْ فَلَ تَجْعَلُواْ للَّهِ أَندَاداً وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَO mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), Who created you and those who were before you so that you may have Taqwa. Who has made the earth a resting place for you, and the sky as a canopy, and sent down water (rain) from the sky and brought forth therewith fruits as a provision for you. Then do not set up rivals unto Allah while you know. (2:21-22)And here Allah says, after mentioning the creation of all these things:ذَلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَThat is Allah, your Lord, so Blessed be Allah, the Lord of all that exists.meaning, exalted and sanctified and glorified be Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.Then He says
