Transliteration:( Wa maa min daaabbatin fil ardi illaa 'alal laahi rizquhaa wa ya'lamu mustaqarrahaa wa mustawda'ahaa; kullun fee Kitaabim Mubeen )
13. Those moving on the earth are mentioned because they are visible to us. Otherwise Jinns, Angels, etc. all receive sustenance from Allah Almighty. His attribute of being Provident is not limited to animals only. In addition He provides sustenance to different beings according to their needs. The child in the mother's womb is provided different sustenance that after his birth, and before the appearance of his teeth.
His sustenance after he grows differs. Thus there is commonness in customs and control as well as in sustenance.
14. From this we learn that man is very foolish who, while in search of his sustenance, forgets the Hereafter, because Allah Almighty has given promise regarding sustenance but not regarding forgiveness. In fact Allah Almighty says "He will forgive whom he pleases". Everyone should be about his safety. May Allah Almighty bless us with this
15. When alive and where will he be when buried after death, or how and until when will he be in whose father's loin and in whose mother's womb, or in which rank was he in the world of souls and in which rank will he be on the Day of Judgement.It should be remembered that on the Day of Covenant all the souls were in four ranks: in the first rank were the souls of the Prophets, in the second the friends of Allah Almighty, in the third were all the believers and in the fourth were all infidels and hypocrites. (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan)
16. It should be remembered that the writing of everything on Divine Tablet is not because Allah Almighty had any fear of being forgetful but so that those of His beloved. servants having the power to cast their gaze on it would become aware of what appears therein. From this we learn that those who gaze on the Divine Tablet too are fully aware of things which are there and which would be distributed everyone. Everthing is inscribed on the Tablet and they have full knowledge of it. The Divine Tablet is called illuminating and clear because it reveals the knowledge of the unseen to the special servants of Allah Almighty

6. And no moving creature is there on earth but its provision is due from Allah. And He knows its dwelling place and its deposit. All is in a Clear Book.
Allah, the Exalted, informs that He is responsible for the provisions of all the creatures that dwell in the earth, whether they are small, large, sea-dwelling or land-dwelling. He knows their place of dwelling and their place of deposit. This means that He knows where their journeying will end in the earth and where they will seek shelter when they wish to nest. This place of nesting is also considered their place of deposit. `Ali bin Abi Talhah and others reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said concerning the statement,
(And He knows its dwelling place) that it means where it resides. In reference to the statement,
(and its deposit.) he (Ibn `Abbas) said it means where it will die. Allah informs us that all of this is written in a Book with Allah that explains it in detail. This is similar to Allah’s statement,
(There is not a moving creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered.) ﴿6:38﴾, and
(And with Him are the keys of the Ghayb (all that is hidden and unseen), none knows them but He. And He knows whatever there is in the land and in the sea; not a leaf falls, but he knows it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry, but is written in a Clear Record.) ﴿6:59﴾
(11:6) There is not a single moving creature on the earth but Allah is responsible for providing its sustenance. He knows where it dwells and where it will permanently rest.[6] All this is recorded in a clear Book.
6. That is, it is foolish on your part to deceive yourselves that you can escape punishment by hiding yourselves from Allah Who has full and perfect knowledge of everything. Who knows the nest where the tiniest sparrow lives and the hole where the smallest insect resides, and provides their sustenance to them wherever they be. Who knows the dwelling place and the final resting place of every creature and gives life and death to them at the appointed time. Do you think that by hiding yourselves from His messenger, you can also hide yourselves from the All-Knowing Sovereign Who has sent him? Do you think that Allah does not see His messenger doing his very best to convey His message to you and you are trying to turn a deaf ear to it?
[548]- Before birth and after death.
