Commentary
Except by the truth, except for a creation intertwined with truth and wisdom, not falsehood and frivolity. Or due to justice and fairness on the Day of Judgment regarding deeds. And certainly, the Hour is coming, and Allah will take revenge for you in it from your enemies, and will reward you and them for your good deeds and their evil ones. Indeed, He did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them except for that. So, turn away from them and endure what you receive from them with beautiful avoidance, with patience and forbearance. It is said: This is abrogated by the verse of the sword. And it is permissible that it refers to good character.
