Who holds the birds up?
Look up. What keeps them there?
Look up at a flock of starlings at dusk: thousands of birds, turning together like smoke, and never crashing. Watch a kestrel hang still in the wind.
The Qur'an asks: “Do they not see the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them? None holds them up except the Most Merciful” (67:19). Jesus (peace be upon him) said: “See the birds of the sky… your heavenly Father feeds them” (Matthew 6:26, WEB).
Wonder with us
Look up. What keeps them there?
