Transliteration:( Wal ardi wa maa tahaahaa )
The earth is a manifestation of Allah's divine power, and an oath is taken on it due to the numerous blessings that it provides. The earth supports all forms of life, from humans and animals to plants, making it a visible reflection of Allah’s mercy and creation. Minerals, gemstones, and resources like oil are drawn from its depths, further demonstrating its richness and divine blessings.
While the earth appears uniform on the surface, its hidden effects vary greatly. The earth is not just a physical entity; it carries profound spiritual significance as well. It is the dwelling place of Prophets and Saints, which gives it a unique and elevated status above even the sky. The earth provides sustenance in the form of harvests, crops, and other resources, continuing to do so for thousands of years without fail, symbolizing its humility and dedication.
The earth is inherently humble, which is reflected in its ability to produce gardens, crops, and sustenance. In contrast, the fire, which represents arrogance, is deprived of these blessings. The earth, in its humility, is the source of life and growth, symbolizing the divine blessings that flow through it. It transforms the effects of rainfall into rivers, vegetation, and other forms of life, displaying the immense potential within it.
