Commentary
So when he meets his book on the Day of Presentation, it will be said to him: "Read your book; you are sufficient for yourself; you are not obligated by what another reads; it is enough;" and the doer is confirmed by the addition of the preposition; so He, the Exalted, said: "Today, you are sufficient for yourself;" meaning: throughout this entire day, in which the veils are lifted, and all matters are made apparent; "as a reckoner for you;" meaning: a profound reckoner; for you will be given the ability to read it, whether you were illiterate or a reader; and you will not see in it any addition or omission; nor can you deny a letter from it; if your tongue denies it, your limbs will testify against you; so what a remarkable ability it is; and what a conquering power; and what a clear manifestation!
