Commentary

And when the specification made it clear that there are those who deny it, and that its matter is rooted in nature, due to the overwhelming evidence in reason and hearing, the soul of the listener yearned, in a state of astonishment, for their condition. So he said, responding to him, affirming astonishment at those who deny that: "Indeed, those who do not believe" meaning: they create faith and renew it, "in the Hereafter we have adorned" meaning: by our greatness which cannot be defended, "for them are their deeds" meaning: the vile ones, until they turned away from the fear of its consequence despite the appearance of its vileness. And the attribution to Him, glorified and exalted is He, is true according to the people of the Sunnah, for He is the true creator, and to the devil it is a metaphorical cause. "So they" meaning: it resulted from that that they "are wandering" meaning: they are stumbling about like one who has no insight at all, and they are hesitating in the valleys of misguidance, and they persist in that. They are, at every moment, in a new stumble, with actions that are neither correct nor happy. For indeed, wandering is confusion and hesitation, as is the case of the misguided.
