15. And He hath cast
into the earth firm hills that it quake not with you, and streams and roads
that ye may find a way-
16. And landmarks (too).
And by the star they find a way.

Commentary
Rawaasiya – (fixed), it is plural of raasiyatun.
This word has passed in the Chapter before the current. It aims - firm hills
and mountains.
Tamiida – (it may quake, bend,
tremble), this word has come out from maydun, which means “to bow
towards any side”.
It is commanded: Do you know that which you see
high mountains on the earth, Who created them and why? Listen! Allah Almighty
created these heavy, firm and high hills and mountains. These are a source of
keeping the earth firm and constant, so that lest the water soften it and on
any day, the land sit down like a bubble along with you. Stony, hard and heavy
particles of the hills do not dissolve in water and bear heavy blows of the
sea. Moreover, snow falls and assembles on the peaks of the mountains, and it
flows from height to downward after melting. And it irrigates dry lands after
becoming rivers and canals. Besides this, passes, valleys and paths have been
made into the mountains, so that these may not hinder the human beings from
meeting with one another. These hills, springs and passes etc. are also useful
as signs to establish different things and places of station.
Like this, stars are also very useful at night for
knowing direction and correct way. Allah Almighty created these entire things
for the help of mankind.
