Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
Whosoever is in the heavens and on earth begs of Him (its needs from Him). Every day He is (engaged) in some affair (such as giving honour or disgrace to some, life or death to some, etc.)!

Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran — Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani
Tafsir Taiseer ul-Quran (Facilitation of the Quran) is a comprehensive Quran commentary by Maulana Abdul Rahman Kilani, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. Known for his eloquent and accessible writing style, Kilani authored this tafsir with a focus on clarity — making Quranic meanings understandable to the common reader. The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
29. All who are in the heavens and the earth ask Him [19]; every day He is in a new state (of glory).
[19] The Ever-New Works of Allah Almighty:
Only Allah’s Being is self-sufficient; all other creation is dependent on Allah for the fulfillment of their needs and the removal of their difficulties. Some ask Him for food, some for drink, some pray for health, and some for children. Some seek forgiveness for their sins and elevation in ranks, and He listens to the cries of all creation and helps them. And Allah Almighty is doing this work at every moment and every instant. In addition, He is constantly bringing new creation into existence; just as the birth of humans is increasing, so too is the multiplication of every living species. Then He is also bringing new planets and galaxies into existence in the universe. In short, every day He manifests a new state and a new glory.
