Allah states that He has left no excuse for the idolators, for He has sent to
them the Book that the Messenger came with, and which is explained in detail,
[كِتَابٌ أُحْكِمَتْ
ءايَـتُهُ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ]
((This is) a Book, the Ayat whereof are perfected (in every sphere of
knowledge), and then explained in detail ) [11:1] Allah said next,
[فَصَّلْنَـهُ عَلَى
عِلْمٍ]
(We have explained in detail with knowledge) meaning, `We have perfect
knowledge of what We explained in it'. Allah said in another Ayah,
[أَنزَلَهُ
بِعِلْمِهِ]
(He has sent it down with His Knowledge,) [4:166] The meaning here is that
after Allah mentioned the loss the idolators end up with in the Hereafter, He
stated that He has indeed sent Prophets and revealed Books in this life, thus
leaving no excuse for them. Allah also said;
[وَمَا كُنَّا
مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّى نَبْعَثَ رَسُولاً]
(And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning).)
[17:15] This is why Allah said here,
[هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ
إِلاَّ تَأْوِيلَهُ]
(Await they just for the final fulfillment of the event) in reference to what
they were promised of torment, punishment, the Fire; or Paradise, according to
Mujahid and several others.
[يَوْمَ يَأْتِى
تَأْوِيلُهُ]
(On the Day the event is finally fulfilled,) on the Day of Resurrection,
according to Ibn `Abbas,
[يَقُولُ الَّذِينَ
نَسُوهُ مِن قَبْلُ]
(those who neglected it before will say) those who ignored it in this life
and neglected abiding by its implications will say,
[قَدْ جَآءَتْ رُسُلُ
رَبِّنَا بِالْحَقِّ فَهَل لَّنَا مِن شُفَعَآءَ فَيَشْفَعُواْ لَنَآ]
("Verily, the Messengers of our Lord did come with the truth, now are there
any intercessors for us that they might intercede on our behalf'') so that we
are saved from what we ended up in.
[أَوْ
نُرَدُّ]
("Or could we be sent back''), to the first life,
[فَنَعْمَلَ غَيْرَ
الَّذِى كُنَّا نَعْمَلُ]
("So that we might do (good) deeds other than those (evil) deeds which we
used to do''). This part of the Ayah is similar to Allah's statement,
[وَلَوْ تَرَى إِذْ
وُقِفُواْ عَلَى النَّارِ فَقَالُواْ يلَيْتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَلاَ نُكَذِّبَ
بِـَايَـتِ رَبِّنَا وَنَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ - بَلْ بَدَا لَهُمْ مَّا
كَانُواْ يُخْفُونَ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَوْ رُدُّواْ لَعَـدُواْ لِمَا نُهُواْ عَنْهُ
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَـذِبُونَ ]
(If you could but see when they will be held over the (Hell) Fire! They will
say: "Would that we were but sent back! Then we would not deny the Ayat of our
Lord, and we would be of the believers!'' Nay, it has become manifest to them
what they had been concealing before. But if they were returned (to the world),
they would certainly revert to that which they were forbidden. And indeed they
are liars) [6:27-28] Allah said here,
[قَدْ خَسِرُواْ
أَنفُسَهُمْ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ]
(Verily, they have lost themselves and that which they used to fabricate has
gone away from them.) meaning, they destroyed themselves by entering the Fire
for eternity,
[وَضَلَّ عَنْهُمْ
مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ]
(And that which they used to fabricate has gone away from them.) What they
used to worship instead of Allah abandoned them and will not intercede on their
behalf, aid them or save them from their fate.
[إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ
اللَّهُ الَّذِى خَلَقَ السَمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ
اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِى الَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا
وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُومَ مُسَخَّرَتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ أَلاَ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ
وَالاٌّمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَـلَمِينَ ]
(54. Indeed, your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six
Days, and then He rose over (Istawa) the Throne. He brings the night as a cover
over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars
subjected to His command. Surely, His is the creation and commandment. Blessed
is Allah, the Lord of all that exists!)
