Tafsir for verse: 35:13
يُولِجُ ٱلَّيۡلَ فِي ٱلنَّهَارِ وَيُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِي ٱلَّيۡلِ وَسَخَّرَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَۖ كُلّٞ يَجۡرِي لِأَجَلٖ مُّسَمّٗىۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡ لَهُ ٱلۡمُلۡكُۚ وَٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِن قِطۡمِيرٍ ١٣ ﴿13﴾
13He makes the night enter into the day and makes the day enter into the night, and He has subjugated the sun and the moon; each one of them is running towards an appointed time. That is Allah, your Lord. To Him belongs the kingdom. And those whom you invoke beside Him do not own even the membrane on a date-stone.

Commentary
That is a subject. And Allah is your Lord; to Him belongs the kingdom. These are synonymous reports. Or Allah is your Lord; it is two reports. And to Him belongs the kingdom: this is a sentence that begins and occurs in the context of His saying, 'And those whom you invoke besides Him do not possess even a speck.' It is permissible in terms of grammatical analysis to place the name of Allah as an attribute of the demonstrative pronoun, or as an explanatory apposition. And your Lord is a report. Were it not that the meaning rejects it. And the qitmeer is the wrapping of the seed, which is the thin skin wrapped around it.
