And when the one who creates something is more knowledgeable about it; and the perfection of his craftsmanship indicates the completeness of the ability of its maker; and the completeness of his ability is necessitated by the completeness of his knowledge; He said: ﴿He is﴾; meaning: alone; not your partners; nor others; ﴿the One who made you﴾; meaning: O people; ﴿successors﴾; the plural of "successor"; and he is the one who comes after a person with what was established by him; and the successors are the plural of "successor"; this was said by Al-Asbahani; and Al-Qushayri said: The people of every era are successors to those who preceded them; so from a people, they have beauty for their predecessors; and from a people, they are the lowly and the base; the virtuous of their time have a trial; and the lowly are a trial for their time.

And when the intention was to weaken the matter of their partners; and it is achieved by stripping them of their ability over what He - glorified and exalted is He - has enabled the worshippers from the earth; He included the neighbor; indicating that they, despite their multitude; and the extension of their times; do not fill their dwelling with His management; for the death of every generation and the succession of those after them from them; and if He had not killed them, the earth would not have contained them with procreation; over a long time; and they are originally a small piece of its soil; so He said: ﴿in the earth﴾; meaning: in what you are in of it; not other than it; you act in it with what you are able to; and if He willed, He would not have allowed you to act in it; so it is His right that you thank Him; and do not deny Him.

And when it was established that this is a blessing from Him; He granted them a duration in which to remember those who remember; from this resulted His saying: ﴿So whoever denies﴾; meaning: after knowing that Allah is the One who enabled him; no one else; and he belittled this noble blessing; ﴿then upon him﴾; meaning: specifically; ﴿is his denial﴾; meaning: his harm; and when the existence of a thing upon another is susceptible to matters; He clarified its state with His saying - confirming for the sake of those who imagine that the expansion of the world upon the wicked is a profit; and an honor from Allah to him; ﴿And not﴾; meaning: while it is that He does not ﴿increase the disbelievers﴾; meaning: those who cover the truth; ﴿their disbelief﴾; meaning: that which they are clad in; thinking that it will bring them happiness; and they are firmly established in it; unable to escape from it; and for this reason, He did not say: "does not increase whoever disbelieves"; because his disbelief may not be firmly established; so he may convert; ﴿with their Lord﴾; meaning: the One who is good to them; ﴿except with aversion﴾; meaning: because He treats them as one who hates; and despises; with the utmost hatred and contempt.

And when the intention of these attributes in relation to Allah (the Exalted) is their utmost; and the mention of them is merely a depiction of them in their most horrific forms; for the increase of repulsion from their causes; and they used to marry the wives of their fathers; while they called it the marriage of aversion; He indicated that they do not care about the aversion to the benefactor; so He said - mentioning the ultimate goal; clarifying that the focus of their attention is the financial loss; belittling their ambitions; increasing in their reprimand -: ﴿And does not increase the disbelievers﴾; meaning: those entrenched in the attribute of covering the truth; ﴿their disbelief except with loss﴾; meaning: in this world; and the Hereafter; in wealth; and the soul; and this is the end of what the one who hates does to the one who is hated.
