Commentary
And when the intended meaning of its preservation from destruction is its safeguarding; and its remaining until the Day of Meeting with Him; he explained it by saying - limiting it to the pronoun; because the context is for the believers; and thus he directed it to the pronoun of the unseen; because their faith is in the unseen -: ﴿So that He may fulfill for them﴾: meaning for its being accepted by Him - glorified and exalted is He -; in this world; if He wills; or in the Hereafter; or in both; ﴿Their rewards﴾; meaning: for those deeds; ﴿And He will increase them﴾; meaning: beyond what He has made a right for them by His grace and bounty; ﴿From His bounty﴾; meaning: an increase for which they have no cause at all; rather it is after He has bestowed upon them what corresponds to their deeds with what they know is their recompense; multiplied for one by ten; up to more; and when their deeds are not free from some blemish; and even if they are pure; then their reward is not because it is deserved from His grace - glorified and exalted is He -; he explained their fulfillment of it by saying - confirming; informing that there is no way for the people except His pardon; because no one can truly appreciate Allah; even if they strive; and if He were to hold the most devoted of His servants accountable for what occurs from their shortcomings; He would destroy them -: ﴿Indeed, He is Forgiving﴾; meaning: by erasing the deficiency from the deed; ﴿Grateful﴾; meaning: He accepts it; and increases upon it.
