So where are you going? This is a misguidance for them, as it is said about one who leaves the straight path, going astray or deviating into the byways.

Where are you going? Their condition is likened to that of one who leaves the truth and turns away from it towards falsehood. 'For whoever among you wills' is a replacement for 'the worlds.' They were replaced because those who will to be upright by entering Islam are the ones who benefit from the reminder. It is as if no one else was admonished by it, even though they are all admonished. And what you will of uprightness, O you who will it, is only by the grace of Allah.

The saying 'O you who will it, except by the grace of Allah' interprets the will in that it is based on the action of the servant through the creation and will of the servant, not by the creation and will of Allah, the Exalted. This is the view of the Mu'tazila. The view of the people of the Sunnah is that Allah creates and wills as is apparent in the verses. And the saying 'by the compulsion of Allah' means by His forcing the servant to act, but compulsion contradicts the choice that validates the obligation and the deserving of reward and punishment. It may be that he meant by the compulsion of Allah His will that necessitates the existence of the intended, as he has previously expressed in the book on several occasions by the will of compulsion. However, the necessity of the will for the intended does not necessitate the compulsion and forcing of the servant according to the people of the Sunnah, even though Allah is the creator of the servant's action, because they affirm the earning of the servant, contrary to the Mu'tazila. The details of this matter are in the science of monotheism.

And His kindness. Or: And what you will of it, you who do not will it except by the compulsion of Allah and His forcing.

From the Messenger of Allah, blessings and peace be upon him: 'Whoever recites the Surah When the Sun is Folded, Allah will protect him from being disgraced when his record is unfolded.'
