Commentary
And when all of these are conclusive proofs and brilliant, shining evidences for the truth of the Qur'an and its coming with the highest eloquence, it is very unlikely that they would criticize the Qur'an after this clarification. Allah, the Most High, said, drawing attention to this with emphasis, expressing it with the pronoun referring to what has passed, indicating that He is the one being spoken of now. He is established in all minds, and there is no absence of Him from any of them at all. "Indeed, it" refers to the Qur'an, which has informed of these reports that are in the utmost clarity. It has been previously stated that it is glorious and in a preserved tablet, and that the disbelievers are in denial of it, especially what it contains of the news of resurrection: "It is a decisive word," meaning it is truly intended to separate matters. It has a deep-rootedness in the distinction between truth and falsehood, such that it is referred to as the very separation itself.
