“Do they not see the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None holds them except the Most Merciful...”
Which of the following scientific observations most accurately reflects this verse?
A) Birds fly because of strong bones and muscle control
B) Birds are supported entirely by air pressure beneath their wings during flight
C) Birds rely on complex atmospheric thermals and lift physics which cannot be controlled by the bird itself
D) Bird wings contain a special fluid that makes them lighter during gliding
Correct Answer: C) Birds rely on complex atmospheric thermals and lift physics which cannot be controlled by the bird itself
“None holds them except the Most Merciful...”
➤ Birds seem to “float” or “glide” in the sky, especially when they spread their wings and stop flapping.
➤ To ancient observers, this would be mysterious: How are they staying up without movement?
➤ Modern science now tells us that it’s not the bird alone — it’s invisible forces (lift + thermals) supporting them.
The bird can’t control those forces — it uses them, but can’t create them.
➤ The Qur’an’s wording is precise: birds move, but Allah is the One who holds them — i.e., He created and sustains the laws that allow flight.
