Commentary
The word of your Lord has been fulfilled against them. The saying of Allah that He wrote in the Tablet and informed the angels that they will die as disbelievers, and there will be no other than that. And that is a known writing, not a predetermined writing. He means by saying 'not a predetermined writing' that it is based on the belief of the Mu'tazila that Allah does not will evil. The people of the Sunnah hold that He, glorified and exalted is He, wills everything that occurs, whether good or evil. Allah is exalted above that.
