Commentary

And when He, the Most High, informed that there will be no injustice on that day at all, this caused denial against those whose souls have deceived them with false hopes. They thought otherwise regarding the state of the doer of good and others. Or they performed an action or said a statement that leads to that, like the hypocrites and those rushing towards the spoils of war. So He, the Most High, said: "Is one who follows..." meaning: seeks with seriousness and effort, "the pleasure of Allah"; that is, the One of majesty and honor, by turning towards what the truthful has commanded. Thus, he reaches Paradise; and how excellent is the patience! "Like one who returns..." meaning: returns from his actions which he intends for profit or resolution, and remains, "with the wrath of Allah"; that is, from the Greatest King, because he did what necessitates wrath by disobedience, then turning away, were it not for pardon. "And his abode is Hell"; that is, a recompense for what he made the causes of wrath his abode. "And how evil is the destination"; that is, it.
