And when the custom of those who call out is to approach, that day was described as the opposite of that due to the severity of the horrors. He said, changing or clarifying: "On the Day you will turn your backs." That is, when the tongues of the fires emerge and snatch away the people of disbelief, and they roar with roars that cause the people of the standing to fall down out of fear of it. You will see every nation kneeling, and they flee, and they do not intend to go anywhere except that they find the angels lined up, as Allah, the Most High, said: "And the angels are on its sides" [Al-Haaqqa: 17]. And the caller calls out: "O assembly of jinn and mankind, if you are able to penetrate the regions of the heavens and the earth, then penetrate! You will not penetrate except with authority" [Ar-Rahman: 33].

And when the one turning away only intends, in his retreat, a refuge that protects him and conceals him, or a group that will protect and support him, he said, clarifying their state: "What is [the matter] with you from Allah," that is, the King, the Compeller, who has no equal. He emphasized the negation and said: "from a protector," that is, a defender who will protect you from what is intended against you. So what is [the matter] with you from a protector at all? For He, glorified is He, grants protection and is not protected against.

And when the decree is for your misguidance in this world, then your state on that day is acquired from your states on this day. He then added to it his saying, generalizing: "And whoever Allah misguides," that is, the King who encompasses all things, the Hidden in the garments of majesty, the Manifest in the manifestations of might and beauty, a misguidance that He has decreed upon him. He is in the utmost clarity - as indicated by the King: "So he has no guide" to anything that would benefit him in any way. As for the incidental misguidance, Allah removes it from whom He wills of His servants, and this is not known except by the ending, as Imam Abu al-Hasan al-Ash'ari said: "Whoever dies upon something is molded by it."
