Commentary
Allah judges between you. This is a speech from Allah to the believers and the disbelievers, meaning: He distinguishes between you by reward and punishment. It is also a consolation for the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, regarding what he faced from them. How could what they do be hidden from Him? It is known among the scholars of Allah that He knows everything that happens in the heavens and the earth, and He has written it in the Preserved Tablet before it occurs.
The encompassing of this, its affirmation, and its preservation is easy, for the essence of the All-Knowing does not find it difficult or impossible to be associated with the known. [Mahamud said: 'Its meaning is that Allah is All-Knowing by essence, and it is not difficult for Him to be associated with the known.' Ahmad said: 'And a similar statement has been made before, and we have denied him imposing on the Qur'an what it cannot bear, for the most knowledgeable in language is the one with superior knowledge over the knowledge of others. How can it be interpreted in a way that negates the attribute of knowledge altogether? Suppose that rational evidence does not exist; Allah is the guide to what is correct.]}
