** Note 006:039. Relative to the creatures on earth and birds in the air, the Book means the set ways in which these beings behave. They have been created with their natures set to do things in the way they can’t ever change. They complete their life cycles in a prescribed manner that their Creator deemed fit for them. They have specific characteristics built into each species just like some built in human beings. There are set ways and behaviors for the crawlers and fliers in which all resemble the mankind. God gifted man with a special privilege ‘to make choice’ that distinguishes man from animals. This verse is a part of the system with what the Almighty God has set up this wide Universe. The idea stated in the original text is correctly conveyed when the word book is used as a verb. Its description by M Pickthall as ‘the Book (of Our Decrees)’ is next close to being correct.
