Commentary
And when it has become customary that the one whose kindness is denied hastens to cut it off upon knowing of the disbelief; it may be that someone might think that the reason for the continuous kindness is the lack of knowledge of the disbelief; or the lack of knowledge of disbelief does not fall under the forgiveness; He said (p-131) - warning; highlighting the conscience with the greatest name; upon which the Surah is based to distinguish between the Creator and others; and so that it is not thought that the threat is constrained by the aspect of forgiveness; indicating that this is the result of what has passed -: ﴿And Allah﴾; meaning: the One who has complete knowledge of all attributes of honor and vengeance; ﴿knows﴾; meaning: absolutely; ﴿what you conceal﴾; meaning: all of it; and when secrecy may be taken to mean the state of solitude; His knowledge does not indicate the announcement; He said (the Exalted): ﴿and what you announce﴾; so that the measure of the multiplication for the causes of gratitude; and the ugliness of disbelief may be known; as for the idols, they do not know anything, and there is no greater foolishness than one who worships them.
