أَمَّن جَعَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَجَعَلَ خِلَـٰلَهَآ أَنْهَـٰرًا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًا ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ Qur’an An-Naml (27:61)
Amman jaAAala alar d a qar a ran wajaAAala khil a lah a anh a ran wajaAAala lah a raw a siya wajaAAala bayna alba h rayni ha jizan ail a hun maAAa All a hi bal aktharuhum l a yaAAlamoon a
Nay - who is it that has made the earth a fitting abode55 [for living things], and has caused running waters [to flow] in its midst, and has set upon it mountains firm, and has placed a barrier between the two great bodies of water?56 Could there be any divine power besides God? Nay, most of those [who think so] do not know [what they are saying]!
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Lit., "place of rest" (qarar). But see also {77:25-26} and the corresponding note [9].

See 25:53 and the corresponding notes [41] and [42].

Just think who has made the earth a place for your residence, caused in it the rivers to flow, set mountains upon it and placed a barrier between the two seas? Is there another god besides Allah? Nay, most of them have no knowledge.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Or 'ask them,' 'Who made the earth a place of settlement, caused rivers to flow through it, placed firm mountains upon it, and set a barrier between 'fresh and salt' bodies of water?1 Was it another god besides Allah?' Absolutely not! But most of them do not know.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab

 See footnote for 25:53.

Is not He (best) Who made the earth a fixed abode, and placed rivers in the folds thereof, and placed firm hills therein, and hath set a barrier between the two seas? Is there any God beside Allah? Nay, but most of them know not!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Or who has made the earth firm to live in; made rivers in its midst; set thereon mountains immovable; and made a separating bar between the two bodies of flowing water? (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay most of them know not. 3295 3296
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xvi. 15 and notes 2038 and 2039. The terra firma, the flowing water, and the cycle of water circulation-sea, vapour, clouds, rain, rivers, and sea again,-all one and yet all distinct, with a sort of wonderful barrier between salt water and fresh water: can man see all this and yet be ignorant of Allah?

Cf. xxv. 53 and notes 3111 and 3112.
