1. The Cloud. Maulana Muhammad Ali wrote in in his Note # 2722: “Ibil means, clouds that bear the water for rain (T, LL). Malik Ghulam Farid quoted the same source (Lane) to conclude that God will spread the teachings of the Qor-aan “which is spiritual water over the entire earth.” “As this significance suits the context better, I adopt this instead of the usual rendering, the camel…” Muhammad Zafrulla Khan.
2. The Camel. Malik Ghulm Farid wrote in his Note 3330: “Believers, like camels going straight in a line, all behind the one that leads them, give unquestioning obedience to their leader…. for days without water in hot, sandy desert, they have infinite patience under trials and hardships and continue their spiritual journey without complaining”
