ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
This Surah begins with (All praise be to Allah) to indicate that it contains signs of His Oneness and His great Attributes, which entail praising Him alone. Ibn Ashur: 22/135.
Question: This Surah begins with (All praise be to Allah). Why?
ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ
(To Whom belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth), this relative clause is an allusion to the denial of the polytheists who praised other things that did not have the least influence or awareness of these worlds, and forgot to praise the One Who owns them and everything else in them. Ibn Ashur: 22/136.
Question: Why is a relative clause used in this verse?
وَلَهُ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۚ
Because in the Hereafter He will be praised and extolled in a manner that He was not praised and extolled in this world. When Allah judges between all creatures, and people and all creatures see His verdict and recognize the perfect nature of his justice, fairness, and wisdom, they will all praise Him for that, even those who are faced with punishment and are doomed to enter Hell, their hearts will be filled with praise for Him, and they will know that the punishment is the consequence of their deeds and that He is just in His ruling to punish them. Al-Saadi: 674.
Question: Why is praising Allah in the Hereafter is mentioned?
عَٰلِمِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِۖ لَا يَعۡزُبُ عَنۡهُ مِثۡقَالُ ذَرَّةٖ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلَآ أَصۡغَرُ مِن ذَٰلِكَ وَلَآ أَكۡبَرُ إِلَّا فِي كِتَٰبٖ مُّبِينٖ ٣
(Not absent from Him), nothing is hidden from Him, that is, everything is encompassed by His knowledge, and nothing is concealed from Him. Even though bones may be scattered and disintegrate, He knows where they have gone and where they have dispersed, then He will bring them back just as He created them the first time because He has knowledge of all things. Ibn Kathir: 3/504.
Question: After mentioning the resurrection, Allah is described as the Knower of the unseen. Why?
وَيَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقَّ
Using the word, (see), instead of "know" to indicate that their knowledge is as certain as seeing. Ibn Ashur: 22/145.
Question: In this verse, the word, (see) is used instead of “know”. Why?
وَيَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ ٱلَّذِيٓ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ مِن رَّبِّكَ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقَّ وَيَهۡدِيٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلۡعَزِيزِ ٱلۡحَمِيدِ ٦
Among Allah's Attributes, these two (the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy) are used to indicate that when the believers deem the Quran as the true guidance, they realize through their faith that this path leads them to might; Allah says, (All might belongs to Allah and His Messenger, and the believers) [63:8]. Ibn Ashur: 22/146.
Question: In this verse, Allah’s Attributes, (the Exalted in Might, the Praiseworthy) are used. Why?
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ هَلۡ نَدُلُّكُمۡ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٖ يُنَبِّئُكُمۡ إِذَا مُزِّقۡتُمۡ كُلَّ مُمَزَّقٍ إِنَّكُمۡ لَفِي خَلۡقٖ جَدِيدٍ ٧
If you say: Allah's Messenger was prominent and well-known in his tribe, Quraish, and his preaching about resurrection was prevalent among them, so, what is the meaning of their saying, (Shall we show you a man), referring to him as an unknown person who says unknown things? I say: They said that in ridicule and mockery for the purpose of laughter and disregard of him (ﷺ) and his message. Al-Qurtubi: 17/257.
Question: Why did they ignore the Prophet’s (ﷺ) Message by calling him just (a man)?
