And when His wisdom was established by what we observe of the precise actions and correct sayings, His knowledge was confirmed by that. For wisdom cannot exist except with knowledge. And the Merciful Lord, the All-Knowing, His lordship is not complete except with the apparent dominion and the overpowering authority in which there is no blemish. The resurrection was established, which is the foundation of wisdom and the place of the manifestation of justice. The result of that is: Allah will bring the Hour for what has been established of its proof, as you see. So He turned to His saying: ﴿And those who disbelieved said﴾, meaning they concealed what their minds indicated to them from its apparent proofs: ﴿The Hour will not come to us﴾, and the news of it is false.

And when the evidence that has preceded is such that there is no doubt with it, He commanded him to respond to them by refuting their words, confirming with an oath that he did not leave them without an apparent proof. He said: ﴿Say: Yes, by my Lord﴾, meaning the One who has bestowed upon me with the blessings He has granted me along with you, and with what He has specifically honored me with from the prophecies and sending me to you - in addition to other matters that only He, glorified and exalted is He, can enumerate. He is too generous to leave you without gathering you to take vengeance on you, and to please my eyes with what He will reward you for your harm to me and to those who follow me. For there is no lord who would be pleased for some of the disobedient servants to oppress others, and leave them without guidance or discipline. So how if the one being oppressed is obedient to Him, and the oppressor is disobedient to Him? This is something that no wise person would accept, so how about a judge, and how about the most just of judges? ﴿Surely the Hour will come to you﴾, meaning the Hour will appear in it with complete manifestation of wisdom through justice and virtue, and other wonders of judgment and separation.

And when the judge does not neglect his subjects except when they are absent from his knowledge, and does not neglect anything of their conditions except when that thing is absent from him, and the Hour is from the realm of the unseen, and what has preceded of the proof of knowledge might be specified by a stubborn one to the realm of witness, He described His most sacred Self, glorified is He, by what He clarified that there is no difference for Him between the unseen, of which the Hour is part, and the witness. Rather, everything is a witness to Him. And for the attention to this meaning, the unseen is mentioned first when both are mentioned. So He said, clarifying the greatness of the one by whom He swears to indicate the truth of the one sworn upon, for the oath is like a testimony to the matter. And the higher the one bearing witness is in rank, clearer in virtue, and loftier in status, the stronger and more certain the testimony is, and the one being testified against is more established and firm. Describing Him according to the reading of the majority and resuming - and this is more eloquent - according to the reading of the Medinans and Ibn 'Amir and Ruways from Ya'qub with the raising: ﴿The Knower of the unseen﴾. And the reading of Hamzah and Al-Kisai is 'Al-Lamam' in the form of exaggeration, as is more appropriate for the context.

And when we were, due to the limitations of our knowledge, constrained by what is in this universe, while the speech in it, (p-446) he stated clearly the intended meaning in the most complete manner: ﴿Nothing is hidden﴾ meaning it is not absent and does not distance itself strongly - according to the reading of the majority with the vowel marking of 'dhamma' - nor weakly - according to the reading of al-Kisai with the vowel marking of 'kasra' - ﴿from Him the weight of an atom﴾ meaning from essence or meaning, and the atom is a very small red ant that has become a metaphor for the least of the little, so it is a metaphor for it. And when this surah begins with praise, which is the perfection of the aspect of exaltation, it is more appropriate, and regarding the matter of the Hour and its beginning, it started with it.

And when He had clarified His knowledge of the matters of the heavens, and the intended meaning by it is the genus, He here explicitly gathered that intended meaning by saying: ﴿in the heavens﴾ and He emphasized the negation by repeating 'no' by saying: ﴿and not in the earth﴾. And when we were constrained by the Book, He began the news with what astonishes the mind, that everything is recorded before its existence, then it occurs according to what has been recorded. So when it is revealed to the angels, they increase in faith, glorification, praise, and sanctification. He said - according to all the readers, connecting to the original sentence [no] regarding the weight because the exception prevents it: ﴿and nothing smaller﴾ meaning there is nothing smaller ﴿than that﴾ meaning the weight ﴿and nothing larger﴾ meaning than the weight and what is above it ﴿except in a Book﴾ and our informing of it is due to what our customs have dictated of constraining knowledge to the Book, as for Him, glorified and exalted is He, He is free from that.

And when a person may write something then forgets it and does not remember its place (p-447) and is unable to extract it, He informed that His Book is contrary to that; rather, it is where whoever wants to inform him of anything finds it immediately. So He said: ﴿clear﴾ and it is permissible - and perhaps it is better - if you contemplate this with the verse of Yunus to connect it to the weight, and the exception would be disconnected. However, regarding its context, it is between two opposites, for the meaning is that nothing is hidden or distant from Him, but it is preserved in the most complete preservation in a Book from which nothing is intended to be revealed except that it is in the utmost clarity. And perhaps He expressed it with the tool of connection indicating that if there is anything absent, it is in this quality which is in the utmost distance from absence.
