إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ ١٧

Since Allah is the All-Knowing Whose nothing will be absent from His knowledge, He will not delay recompensing one person to engage another. Just like He provides them all with their provisions in one instant, He will bring them to account in one instant. Al-Qurtubi: 18/341.
Question: Explain Allah's greatness in bringing His servants to account swiftly.

وَأَنذِرۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡأٓزِفَةِ إِذِ ٱلۡقُلُوبُ لَدَى ٱلۡحَنَاجِرِ

(The Approaching Day), it is called as such because it is near, as every awaited event is near. (When hearts are at the throats): The hearts will move away from their places due to intense fear until they reach their throats. Then, they will not move back to their places, nor exit out of their mouths so they may die and rest. Al-Baghawi: 4/39.
Question: Why is the Day of Resurrection called the Approaching Day? How will the hearts reach the throats?

يَعۡلَمُ خَآئِنَةَ ٱلۡأَعۡيُنِ وَمَا تُخۡفِي ٱلصُّدُورُ ١٩

Allah describes His complete knowledge which encompasses all things, great and small, major and minor, so that people will take note that He knows about them, and they will have the proper sense of shyness before Allah, will fear Him as He should be feared, and will pay attention to the fact that He can see them. Ibn Kathir: 4/77.
Question: The Muslim learns a practical lesson from this verse. What is it?

يَعۡلَمُ خَآئِنَةَ ٱلۡأَعۡيُنِ وَمَا تُخۡفِي ٱلصُّدُورُ ١٩

Ibn Abbas (k) said: This verse refers to a man who sits among others, and when a woman passes by, he sneakily glances at her. Moreover, Ibn Abbas said: This refers to a man who looks at a woman, and when his companions see him, he lowers his gaze, but Allah knows that he wishes to have looked at her private part. (And what the hearts conceal), Ibn Abbas said: It means that if they were alone together, will he commit adultery with her or not? Al-Qurtubi: 18/343.
Question: What are the sneaky glances? What do the hearts conceal?

وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَسُلۡطَٰنٖ مُّبِينٍ ٢٣

Allah relates the story of Moses and Pharaoh to His Messenger (ﷺ) to console, comfort, and teach him that with the trial, no matter how intense, comes relief, and that Allah will give him victory over his people, like He had given victory to Moses over Pharaoh and his people. Al-Jaza'iri: 4/527.
Question: How is the story of Moses and Pharaoh relevant to the preceding verses?

Ghafir Verses 24 - 25

إِلَىٰ فِرۡعَوۡنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَ وَقَٰرُونَ فَقَالُواْ سَٰحِرٞ كَذَّابٞ ٢٤ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ مِنۡ عِندِنَا قَالُواْ ٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَبۡنَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ وَٱسۡتَحۡيُواْ نِسَآءَهُمۡۚ وَمَا كَيۡدُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٖ ٢٥

These three men decided and agreed to the killing of the sons of the Children of Israel, the strong youth among them, who followed Moses, while keeping the women as servants and slaves. (But, the plots of the disbelievers are always bound to fail): This is a brief statement indicating that Allah has foiled the plot of these three men, and they were not able to kill any of the Children of Israel, and their pursuit failed, rather, Allah impeded their pursuit and plots. Ibn Atiyah: 4/554.
Question: Allah's Will is above that of the kings. Explain in light of these two verses.

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِٱلۡحَقِّ مِنۡ عِندِنَا قَالُواْ ٱقۡتُلُوٓاْ أَبۡنَآءَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مَعَهُۥ وَٱسۡتَحۡيُواْ نِسَآءَهُمۡۚ وَمَا كَيۡدُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلَٰلٖ ٢٥

Reflect on this point which is often repeated in the Book of Allah: If the context is a specific story or a specific matter, and Allah wants to give a ruling concerning that specific matter but not specific to that matter, He mentions the ruling and connects it to the general reason for that ruling to make it more general in application, which includes the story mentioned in that context too to ward off any mistaken notion that the ruling is limited only to that specific instance. Hence, Allah does not say here “their plot was bound to fail"; rather, He says: (The plots of the disbelievers are bound to fail). Al-Saadi: 736.
Question: The verse ends with a general statement, (The plots of the disbelievers are bound to fail), and does not end with "their plot was bound to fail", or "Pharaoh's plot was bound to fail". Why?
