Allathee khalaqa fasawwa (surah Al Ala: 2)

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(87:2) Who created all things and fashioned them in good proportion; *2

Allazee khalaqa fasawwaa

*2) That is, He created everything, from the earth to the heavens, in the universe, and gave whatever he created the right proportion and balance and gave every creature the best conceivable form and shape. The same thing has been expressed in Surah As-Sajdah, thus: "Who gave everything He created the best form" (v. 7) Thus, the creation of everything in the world giving it due order and proportion, is an express sign of the truth that some Wise Designer is its Creator. Had the creation of the countless things in the universe been the result of a chance accident, or the work of many creators, there could be no order and balance, no beauty and inner coherence among the many things existing in the world.
