And when faith in Him was established, that He is the King who alone possesses sovereignty, and He indicated by what He observes from the division of His servants into believer and disbeliever, that there is no taking hold of the oppressor from either of them as is the custom of kings. This is not justified in wisdom or in custom. And He informed that His knowledge encompasses His relation to the exalted and the lowly, the apparent and the hidden, equally. Following this is the obligation of faith in His messengers to unify the word upon Him, glorified and exalted is He, so that we may complete life by reconciling between people, lest disputes arise and corrupt life. And the obligation of taking heed from those who have passed from their nations, for whoever does not take heed has stumbled upon his desire from hope. And He indicated this by destroying those who opposed them, a coordinated destruction in breaking the custom and His specification for them in a manner that is established, as it has been in His singularity in kingship. It is known that the disbelievers are the ones who are false. He said: 'Did the news not come to you?' meaning, O people, especially the disbelievers, to know that He is encompassing in knowledge and all-powerful, taking vengeance on the wrongdoer. 'The news of those' and He expressed it in a way that includes the severe disbelievers and the weak among them. He said: 'They disbelieved,' meaning, their great news.

And when the destroyers were on that path, some of the disbelievers, and they were those to whom the messengers were sent, they did not exhaust the time that had passed. He said: 'Before' (p-112) like the mentioned generations in Al-A'raf. Then He caused the consequence of their disbelief and followed His saying: 'So they tasted,' meaning they experienced directly the taste of the second justice as He had judged upon them with the first justice by dividing them into disbeliever and believer. 'And concerning their matter,' meaning the severity of what they were in, which deserves to be consulted about, commanded, and forbidden, and its heaviness and the foulness of its pasture in this world. Its origin is heaviness, however it turned. 'And for them,' meaning along with what they tasted because of it in this world, 'is a painful punishment' in the Barzakh, then the Day of Resurrection, which is the place of the greatest judgment.
