৬৪. আল্লাহ,
পৃথিবীকে করেছেন তোমাদের জন্যে বাসস্থান,
আকাশকে করেছেন ছাদ এবং তিনি
তোমাদেরকে আকৃতি দান করেছেন,
অতঃপর তোমাদের আকৃতি সুন্দর করেছেন এবং তিনি
তোমাদেরকে দান করেছেন পরিচ্ছন্ন রিযিক। তিনি আল্লাহ,
তোমাদের পালনকর্তা। বিশ্বজগতের পালনকর্তা,
আল্লাহ বরকতময়।
Ayat 64. Allah,
it is He Who has made for you the earth as a dwelling place and the sky
as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes good
(looking) and has provided you with good things. That is Allah, your
Lord, then blessed be Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
Tafseer of Surah Al Mumin (The Believer) 64. It is Allah Who has made for you the earth as a resting place, and the sky as a canopy, and has given you shape and made your shapes beautiful,- and has provided for you Sustenance, of things pure and good;- such is Allah your Lord. So Glory to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds! The argument in the last two verses was from man's personal experience of his physical life. In this and the next verse a parallel argument is addressed to man on a much higher plane: 'look at the spacious earth and the canopy of the sky; look at the special position you occupy above other animals that you know, in shape and form, and moral and spiritual capacities; consider your refinements in food and fruits and the higher spiritual Sustenance of which your physical food is a type; would you not indeed say that the Lord is good, and would you not glorify His Holy Name?' A resting place. I understand this to imply a temporary place of rest or sojourn, a period of probation, to be followed by the eternal Home. Cf. 7:11. The shape and form refer to the physical form as well as to the inborn moral and spiritual capacities of man. As regards moral and spiritual capacities, they are typified by the breathing of Allah's spirit into man: 15:29 (see also 64:3). "Sustenance" all that is necessary for growth and development, physical, moral, and spiritual (16:73).
Hazrat Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH)
saying, "If a person mentions the Name of Allah upon entering his house
or eating, Satan says, addressing his followers: `You will find no
where to spend the night and no dinner.' But if he enters without
mentioning the Name of Allah, Satan says (to his followers); `You have
found (a place) to spend the night in, and if he does not mention the
Name of Allah at the time of eating, Satan says: `You have found (a
place) to spend the night in as well as food.'''
[Muslim Book 23, Chapter 11, Hadith # 5006]
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Al-Mumin Ayat 64. “and has provided you with good things. That is Allah, your Lord" Herein, we are told that in order to ward off Satan and his followers, we are supposed to remember Allah before entering our house and before beginning to eat. The remembrance of Allah implies those appropriate prayers of the Prophet (PBUH) which have been mentioned in Ahadith. For example, we are instructed to pronounce the Name of Allah before beginning to eat. On entering our house we recite the following Prophetic prayer: "Allahumma inni as'aluka khairal-mawliji wa khairal-makhraji. Bismillahi wa lajna, wa bismillahi kharajna, wa `al-Allahi rabbina tawakkalna.'' (O Allah! I ask you for what is good of entrance and what is good for exit. With the Name of Allah do we enter, and with the Name of Allah do we leave, and upon our Rubb Allah have we put our trust).
