Commentary

And when he mentioned two of the elevated signs from the realm of dominion and four from the lower realm, he made all of creation understand that the matter is of utmost danger. The souls yearned for what would happen. He mentioned what he intended from the realm of the unseen and the kingdom, which are six matters corresponding to what has passed from the realm of dominion and testimony, encouraging good deeds and righteous companions so that he does not associate with what would displease him. He began with what is suitable for the folding of the sun: "And when the souls" means from every living being among people and others, "are paired" means they are joined with their bodies, and each of creation is gathered to what their soul was inclined to and desired. They were of various kinds, as He, the Exalted, said: "Gather those who wronged and their spouses and what they used to worship" [As-Saffat: 22] "besides Allah" [As-Saffat: 23]. The pairing of the spouses is like the folding of the sun until its light goes away.
