پرندگان موجوداتی عجیب

این آیه به یکی دیگر از نشانه‌های پروردگار یعنی پرندگان و پرواز شکَفت انکَیز أنها اشاره می کند. این اجسام سنکَین، بر خلاف قانون جاذبه، از زمین بر می خیزند و به راحتی ساعت‌ها و گاه هفته‌ها و ماه‌ها بر فراز آسمان به حرکت سریع و نرم خود ادامه می‌دهند. بعضی به هنگام پرواز غالبا بال‌های خود را می‌گسترند و برخی دیگر پیوسته بال می‌زنند. بعضی دیگر نیز گاه بال می‌زنند و گاه بال را می‌گسترانند. گروه چهارم» مدتی بال می‌زنند و هنگامی که سرعت گرفتندء بال‌ها را به کلی جمع کرده» در اقیانوس هوا شیرجه می روند. خلاصه، در عین اینکه همه پرواز می کنند، هر کدام برای خود برنامه مخصوصی دارند.
