Esweni, intaba iyinqwaba nje enkulu yedwala ephakama emhlabeni. Kodwa iQur'an ichaza izintaba ngendlela eshaqisayo ngokwengeziwe, iziniketa umsebenzi. Kaningi, ikhuluma ngezintaba njengezimiswe ngokuqinile emhlabeni, futhi, okushaqisa kakhulu, iziqhathanisa nezikhonkwane.
Izintaba Njengezikhonkwane
Kwivesi elifushane, elicacile, iQur'an icela umfundi ukucabanga ngokwakheka komhlaba omzungezile, futhi ichaza izintaba ngegama elilodwa elishaqisayo:
"Asenzanga yini umhlaba ube yindawo yokuphumula, nezintaba zibe yizikhonkwane?"
(Surah An-Naba, 78:6–7)
Isikhonkwane, njengesikhonkwane setende, sisifihlwe ngaphansi kobuso, sigcina lokho okumi phezu kwaso. Umfanekiso usikisela ukuthi intaba ayiyona nje lokho okuphakamayo, kodwa yinto egxile phansi ngokujulile, ibamba izinto endaweni. AmaSulumane kade ezindla ngokufaneleka kwale ncazelo yentaba njenge-anka kunenqwaba yamatshe.
Emiswe Ngokuqinile Ukuze Umhlaba Ungazamazami
IQur'an iqhubeka, ixhumanisa njalo izintaba nokuzinza komhlaba, izichaza njengezimiswe ngokuqinile ukuze umhlaba ungatengi noma ungazamazami nabahlali bawo:
"Futhi ubeke emhlabeni izintaba ezimiswe ngokuqinile, ukuze ungazamazami nawe…"
(Surah An-Nahl, 16:15)
"Futhi sabeka emhlabeni izintaba ezimiswe ngokuqinile, ukuze ungazamazami nabo…"
(Surah Al-Anbiya, 21:31)
Le ndikimba ephindaphindiwe, izintaba njengabaqinisi bomhlaba ongaphansi kwezinyawo zethu, yethulwa iQur'an njengomunye wemisa kaNkulunkulu esintwini: umhlaba owenziwe waqina wahlaleka, kunokuba ube nokungazinzi.
Ziphakanyiswe Zaqiniswa
IQur'an imema nokuzindla ngobukhulu nobuciko bezintaba, iziqamba phakathi kwezimpawu zoMdali ohleliwe:
"Nezintaba — ukuthi zimiswe kanjani?"
(Surah Al-Ghashiyah, 88:19)
"Futhi sabeka kuwo izintaba eziphakeme, ezimiswe ngokuqinile, futhi saniphuzisa amanzi amnandi."
(Surah Al-Mursalat, 77:27)
Lapha izintaba ziboshelwe kwenye imusa: amanzi ahlanzekile. Izintaba ziqoqa iqhwa nemvula bese zikukhipha njengemifula neziphethu, indima enikeza ukuphila iQur'an eyivumayo ngokuthulile eceleni neyokuqinisa.
Uphawu Lwamandla Nomusa
KuQur'an, izintaba aziyona indawo engenampilo. Ziwubufakazi, boMdali owagxilisa umhlaba, waphakamisa iziqongo, wagcina amanzi, wenza umhlaba waba ikhaya elizinzile. Futhi ziyisikhumbuzo sokuthobeka: ngoba nakuba zizinkulu, iQur'an ithi ngisho nezintaba ziyokususwa ngomyalo waLowo owazimisayo.
"Futhi ubona izintaba, ucabanga ukuthi ziqinile, kanti ziyodlula njengokudlula kwamafu. Kungumsebenzi ka-Allah, owaphelelisa zonke izinto."
(Surah An-Naml, 27:88)
