آیه: 79

أَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلطَّيۡرِ مُسَخَّرَٰتٖ فِي جَوِّ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَا يُمۡسِكُهُنَّ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ

(79) ^[3380]Did they not consider the birds, made prone to flying in the air of the sky, none holds them ˹from falling˺ except Allah—verily in that are Signs for those who Believe.

[3380] This is an example for how a thankful person uses these powers to come to Believe. Seeing the signs (the birds flying in the air) with open hearts and pondering minds (how do they not fall down?) leads to realizing that there is One Who is Able to sustain them in midair, namely, God Almighty Himself (cf. Abū Ḥayyān).
