Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Who made the earth a bed for you and the sky a structure, and sent down water from the sky, thereby bringing forth for you sustenance from the fruits”

This is a matter of enumerating types, or enumerating types of His actions, Mighty and Majestic is He. Allah made the earth a bed for us, a level surface upon which a person settles completely; it is not uneven, nor is it painful when one sleeps on it, rests on it, or does something similar. Allah the Exalted has described the earth with multiple descriptions, describing it as a bed, as a level surface, and with other descriptions found in the Qur'an. As we know, a bed is a level surface prepared for a person to rest in. As Allah the Exalted said: Allah made the sky a structure, meaning in the position of a structure and in the position of a ceiling. It is not the first sky, but the second sky refers to the height, because the water, which is rain, descends from the clouds. Allah the Exalted said: So the water, which is rain, does not descend from the sky that is the structure, but rather from the clouds which are in the height. By this, we know that "sky" is used with two meanings: the first meaning is the structure above us, and the second meaning is the height. Meaning by its cause. Look at the wisdom or the exquisite point where He attributed the action to Himself, Exalted and Majestic is He, but by its cause. The cause is merely a connector; otherwise, does the rain bring forth the plants? No, the One who brings them forth is Allah, but the cause is the rain. Meaning by its cause. And "fruits" is plural because they are varied; if a person wanted to count their types, he would be unable to do so, let alone their individual instances.
