Commentary
And indeed, the invalidation of the decree of evil and the will of evil is that there is no nation except that a messenger has been sent among them, commanding them with the good, which is faith and the worship of Allah, and with avoiding the evil, which is obedience to the tyrant. So among them are those whom Allah has guided, meaning He has been kind to them because He knows them to be among the kind ones. And among them are those upon whom misguidance has been justified, meaning they have been confirmed in abandonment and neglect of kindness, because He knows them to be determined on disbelief, from whom no good comes. So travel in the land and observe what happened to the deniers, so that there remains no doubt for you that I do not decree evil nor will it, as I do what I do to the wicked.
