Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
*29) That is, each bird that flies in the air, dces so in the protection of the AII-Merciful God. He it is Who has given to each bird the form and structure by which it became able to fly; He it is Who has taught each bird the method to fly; He it is Who has made the air obey the laws by which it became possible for the heavier than air bodies to fly in it; and He it is Who upholds every bird in the air; otherwise the moment AIIah withdraws His protection from it, it drops to the ground.
*30) That is, this is not confined only to birds, but whatever exists in the world, exists because of Allah's keeping and guardianship. He alone provides the . means necessary for the existence of everything, and He alone keeps watch that everything created by Him is provided with the necessities of life.
