25وَمِن آياتِهِ أَن تَقومَ السَّماءُ وَالأَرضُ بِأَمرِهِ ۚ ثُمَّ إِذا دَعاكُم دَعوَةً مِنَ الأَرضِ إِذا أَنتُم تَخرُجونَAli UnalAnd among His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand firm (subsisting) by His Command.1 In the end, when He calls you forth from the earth (with a single, particular summons), then (at once) you will come forth.God is the All-Powerful Being Who can do whatever He wills by the mere command, “Be!” However, in the corporeal realm, He acts from behind the veil of cause and effect or regular patterns of events – that is, His exercise of His decrees or will in the corporeal realm gives rise in our minds to some notions that we call “natural laws.” So, this statement means that the heaven and earth stand firm and subsist by the laws issuing from the pure realm of His commands that originate from His Attributes of Power and Will.
