And when it was their right - after the establishment of the evidence of His perfect power; and the comprehensiveness of His knowledge; and the attainment of His wisdom in the creation of all creatures; of what we know; and what we do not know; in the most exquisite arrangement; and the best system - to affirm the guides in informing them that He - glorified and exalted is He - will resurrect them; and that they did not act; nor did they consider that possibility; rather they swore to deny it without any doubt that occurred to them; nor any information from knowledge that reached them; the action of the ignorant, foolish, and rebellious; followed by that - glorified and exalted is He - another amazement regarding their condition; so He said - in reference to "And those who associate others with Allah"; because both phrases indicate their denial of the messengers; and the amazement at them in that; indicating that their belief contained in this phrase is what encouraged them to say the first; and what branched from it -: "And they swore by Allah"; meaning: the Greatest King; "with the utmost of their oaths"; the oaths were made to be strenuous; due to the extent of their exaggeration in it; "Allah will not resurrect"; meaning: the One who encompasses all things; "who dies"; meaning: He will not bring anyone back to life after their death; relying on them merely on the improbability of what did not occur to them as a habit; their rigidity in not resolving it by claiming that the first creation was without a habit; while they claimed that they are the most rational of people; and the sharpest of minds; and the most insightful of them.

Then He responded to them with His saying (the Most High): "Indeed"; meaning: He will certainly resurrect them; for there is no obstacle for Him (p-162) in that; and He has promised it with a "promise"; and clarified that it must occur; with His saying: "upon it"; and He emphasized it; in contrast to their effort in their oaths; with His saying: "truly"; meaning: because He is capable of it; and the saying does not change with Him; thus it became necessary in wisdom for it to be; and the matter of resurrection is known to every rational person who has heard the words of the guides; leaving aside his desires; "but most people"; meaning: due to their confusion; "do not know"; meaning: they have no knowledge that leads them to that; because it is from the knowledge of the unseen; their minds cannot reach it without guidance from Allah; nor do they accept the words of the callers to it; those whom He supported with a spirit from Him; to be bound by what their minds can reach; and it is confined to the world of the seen; they cannot ascend from it to the world of the unseen without mediation from Him - glorified and exalted is He; therefore you see a person among them rejecting that; distancing himself from the possibility of something rational that he cannot reach by mere intellect; and he is a clear adversary.
