Commentary
From Allah, there is a connection that cannot be turned back, meaning: Allah will not retract what He has decreed. Or from a connection that comes, meaning: from before the day comes from Allah when no one can turn it back. And the denial is the act of denying, meaning: what do you have of a savior from the punishment, and you cannot deny anything of what you have committed and recorded in the records of your deeds.
