Commentary

And when Al-Jathiya was established on the contemplation of the signs of the two horizons, addressing the people of faith, as evidence for the Day of Judgment indicated in Al-Dukhan by the verse: ﴿And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in play﴾ [Al-Dukhan: 38], and the one after it, it produced knowledge that the greatness belongs to its Creator by what is observed of His overpowering of kings and others by death and what is less than it, without concern for anyone. And it clarified, by what was understood from kingship, greatness, and wisdom, that the habit of one who possesses this description is that his words are only according to necessity. That the Book is revealed in stages to clarify what they attempt to use as a refutation of their argument, demolishing their honor with His wisdom and might. Thus, the gathering was established, and the resurrection was affirmed, and it concluded with the attributes of might and wisdom. It reminded, by what was established from all of this, emphasizing the matter of resurrection and confirming the Last Day in a clear manner that all of creation is signs and wisdom and considerations. For it established that all of it is truth and negated all falsehood from it. So it said, addressing the people of idols from all other religions, the Sabians, the Magians, and others, with whom the Surah began and ended with the wickedness that encompasses them, necessitating their disbelief: ﴿The revelation of the Book﴾, meaning: the one that encompasses all good gradually according to the interests. ﴿From Allah﴾, meaning: the Compeller, the Majestic, the One who is characterized by the attributes of perfection, which is praise as indicated by His Lordship. And it concluded with His saying: ﴿The Mighty, the Wise﴾, affirming that He has not placed anything except in its most suitable place, and that He is the Creator of evil just as He is the Creator of good and all actions. And that He honors His allies and humiliates His enemies and establishes the matter of His religion, making it prevail over all religions without anyone being able to oppose it in anything. Thus, the verse of Al-Jathiya became a prelude to this, and this is its result.
