Quran 12:105 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
And how many a sign indicating the Oneness of God is there in the heavens and the earth which they pass by which they witness but disregard! not reflecting upon it.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Countless are the convincing divine signs in the heavens and the earth but in some way people go by them unwilling to open their minds eyes
Quran 12:105 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
People neglect to ponder the Signs before Them
Allah states that most people do not think about His signs and proofs of His Oneness that He created in the heavens and earth.
Allah created brilliant stars and rotating heavenly objects and planets, all made subservient.
There are many plots of fertile land next to each other on earth, and gardens, solid mountains, lively oceans, with their waves smashing against each other, and spacious deserts.
There are many live creatures and others that have died; and animals, plants and fruits that are similar in shape, but different in taste, scent, color and attributes.
All praise is due to Allah the One and Only, Who created all types of creations, Who Alone will remain and last forever.
It is He Who is unique in His Names and Attributes.
Allah said next,
وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ إِلاَّ وَهُمْ مُّشْرِكُونَ
( And most of them believe not in Allah except that they attribute partners unto Him. ) Ibn `Abbas commented, "They have a part of faith, for when they are asked, `Who created the heavens Who created the earth Who created the mountains' They say, `Allah did.' Yet, they associate others with Him in worship." Similar is said by Mujahid, `Ata, `Ikrimah, Ash-Sha`bi, Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak and `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam.
In the Sahih, it is recorded that during the Hajj season, the idolators used to say in their Talbiyah: "Here we rush to Your service.
You have no partners with You, except a partner with You whom You own but he owns not!" Allah said in another Ayah,
إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ
( Verily, joining others in worship with Allah is a great Zulm (wrong ) indeed.) 31:13 This indeed is the greatest type of Shirk, associating others with Allah in worship.
It is recorded in the Two Sahihs that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said, "I said, `O Allah's Messenger! What is the greatest sin' He said,
«أَنْ تَجْعَلَ للهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَك»
( That you call a rival to Allah while He alone created you. )" Al-Hasan Al-Basri commented on Allah's statement,
وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ إِلاَّ وَهُمْ مُّشْرِكُونَ
( And most of them believe not in Allah except that they attribute partners unto Him. ) "This is the hypocrite; if he performs good deeds, he does so to show off with the people, and he is an idolator while doing this." Al-Hasan was referring to Allah's statement,
إِنَّ الْمُنَـفِقِينَ يُخَـدِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمْ وَإِذَا قَامُواْ إِلَى الصَّلَوةِ قَامُواْ كُسَالَى يُرَآءُونَ النَّاسَ وَلاَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً
( Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but it is He Who deceives them.
And when they stand up for As-Salah, they stand with laziness and to be seen of men, and they do not remember Allah but little. ) 4:142 There is another type of hidden Shirk that most people are unaware of.
Hammad bin Salamah narrated that `Asim bin Abi An-Najud said that `Urwah said, "Hudhayfah visited an ill man and saw a rope tied around his arm, so he ripped it off while reciting,
وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ إِلاَّ وَهُمْ مُّشْرِكُونَ
( And most of them believe not in Allah except that they attribute partners unto Him. ) In a Hadith, from Ibn `Umar collected by At-Tirmidhi who said it was Hasan, the Prophet said,
«مَنْ حَلَفَ بِغَيْرِ اللهِ فَقَدْ أَشْرَك»
( He who swears by other than Allah, commits Shirk. ) Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud and other scholars of Hadith narrated that `Abdullah bin Mas`ud said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«إِنَّ الرُّقَى وَالتَّمَائِمَ وَالتِّوَلَةَ شِرْك»
( Verily, Ar-Ruqa, At-Tama'im and At-Tiwalah are all acts of Shirk. ) In another narration collected by Ahmad and Abu Dawud, the Prophet said,
«الطِّيَرَةُ شِرْكٌ وَمَا مِنَّا إِلَّا، وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ يُذْهِبُهُ بِالتَّوَكُّل»
( Verily, At-Tiyarah omen is Shirk; everyone might feel a glimpse of it, but Allah dissipates it with Tawakkul. )" Allah said next,
أَفَأَمِنُواْ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ غَاشِيَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ
( Do they then feel secure from the coming against them of the covering veil of the torment of Allah ) Allah asks, `Do these idolators who associate others with Allah in the worship, feel secure from the coming of an encompassing torment from where they perceive not' Allah said in other `Ayat,
أَفَأَمِنَ الَّذِينَ مَكَرُواْ السَّيِّئَاتِ أَن يَخْسِفَ اللَّهُ بِهِمُ الاٌّرْضَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ يَشْعُرُونَ - أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ فِى تَقَلُّبِهِمْ فَمَا هُم بِمُعْجِزِينَ - أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ عَلَى تَخَوُّفٍ فَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَؤُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ
( Do then those who devise evil plots feel secure that Allah will not sink them into the earth, or that the torment will not seize them from directions they perceive not Or that He may catch them in the midst of their going to and from, so that there be no escape for them (from Allah's punishment ) Or that He may catch them with gradual wasting ( of their wealth and health ) Truly, Your Lord is indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful.) 16:45-47 and,
أَفَأَمِنَ أَهْلُ الْقُرَى أَن يَأْتِيَهُم بَأْسُنَا بَيَـتاً وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ - أَوَ أَمِنَ أَهْلُ الْقُرَى أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا ضُحًى وَهُمْ يَلْعَبُونَ
أَفَأَمِنُواْ مَكْرَ اللَّهِ فَلاَ يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الْقَوْمُ الْخَـسِرُونَ
( Did the people of the towns then feel secure against the coming of Our punishment by night while they were asleep Or, did the people of the towns then feel secure against the coming of Our punishment in the forenoon while they were playing Did they then feel secure against the plan of Allah None feels secure from the plan of Allah except the people who are the losers. ) 7:97-99)
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(12:105) And *74 many are the Signs in the heavens and the earth; yet they pass by and pay no heed to them. *75
And how many a sign within the meaning
*74) Now that the story of Prophet Joseph ( Allah's peace be upon him ) has come to an end, the Qur'an has made use of the opportunity for conveying its basic Message, for it does not tell stories merely for the sake of story-telling.
As they themselves had invited the Prophet and were attentively listening to the story, the essence of the Message was presented in a few concise sentences ( vv.
105-111 ).
*75) This is to arouse people from their apathy towards the Signs of AIIah that lie scattered all over the earth and the heavens and to urge them to make a search for the Reality by making right observations.
As each and everything is not merely a " thing "' but also a Sign which points to the Reality, a seeker after it should look at these with a look different from that of animals.
This is because even an animal sees a tree, a mountain and water and takes it as a mere tree, a mountain or water, and with the help of his senses makes use of these according to his needs.
But Allah has endowed man with a mind that is able to consider things in other than their physical and material aspects so that he may think deeply and make a search for the Reality by means of these Signs of Allah.
The reason why people fail to discover the Reality and go astray is that they do not consider things as " Signs " and pay no heed to this aspect.
Had they not deliberately shut their minds against the Message of the Prophets, it would not have been difficult for them at all to understand it and get guidance from it.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( How many a portent ) a sign ( is there in the heavens ) such as the sun, the moon, the stars, etc., ( and the earth ) and that which is in the earth such as mountains, oceans, trees, beasts, etc., ( which they ) i.e. the people of Mecca ( pass by with face averted! ) they denied them and never reflected upon them.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And how many a sign in the heavens and the earth they pass by, while they are averse therefrom.
