Commentary on 22:10
﴿ذَلِكَ﴾ أيْ: ما ذُكِرَ مِنَ العَذابِ الدُّنْيَوِيِّ والأُخْرَوِيِّ وما فِيهِ مِن مَعْنى البُعْدِ لِلْإيذانِ بِكَوْنِهِ في الغايَةِ القاصِيَةِ مِنَ الهَوْلِ والفَظاعَةِ، وهو مُبْتَدَأٌ خَبَرُهُ قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿بِما قَدَّمَتْ يَداكَ﴾ أيْ: بِسَبَبِ ما اقْتَرَفْتَهُ مِنَ الكُفْرِ والمَعاصِي. وإسْنادُهُ إلى يَدَيْهِ لِما أنَّ الِاكْتِسابَ عادَةً يَكُونُ بِالأيْدِي، والِالتِفاتُ لِتَأْكِيدِ الوَعِيدِ وتَشْدِيدِ التَّهْدِيدِ. ومَحَلُّ "أنَّ" في قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وعَلا: ﴿وَأنَّ اللَّهَ لَيْسَ بِظَلامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ﴾ الرَّفْعُ عَلى أنَّهُ خَبَرُ مُبْتَدَأٍ مَحْذُوفٍ، أيْ: والأمْرُ أنَّهُ تَعالى لَيْسَ بِمُعَذِّبٍ لِعَبِيدِهِ بِغَيْرِ ذَنْبٍ مَن قِبَلِهِمْ، والتَّعْبِيرُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ بِنَفْيِ الظُّلْمِ مَعَ أنَّ تَعْذِيبَهم بِغَيْرِ ذَنْبٍ لَيْسَ بِظُلْمٍ قَطْعًا عَلى ما نَقَرَّرَ مِن قاعِدَةِ أهْلِ السُّنَّةِ فَضْلًا عَنْ كَوْنِهِ ظُلْمًا بِالِغًا قَدْ مَرَّ تَحْقِيقُهُ في (سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرانَ ) . والجُمْلَةُ اعْتِراضٌ تَذْيِيلِيٌّ مُقَرَّرٌ لَمَضْمُونِ ما قَبْلَها، وأمّا ما قِيلَ مِن أنَّ مَحَلَّ "أنَّ" هو الجَرُّ بِالعَطْفِ عَلى ما قَدَّمَتْ فَقَدْ عَرَفْتَ حالَهُ في (سُورَةِ الأنْفالِ ) .

22:6
ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَأَنَّهُۥ يُحۡيِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ وَأَنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ ٦
That is because Allāh is the True Reality and because He gives life to the dead and because He is over all things competent
22:7
وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٞ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبۡعَثُ مَن فِي ٱلۡقُبُورِ ٧
And [that they may know] that the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - and that Allāh will resurrect those in the graves.
22:8
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يُجَٰدِلُ فِي ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٖ وَلَا هُدٗى وَلَا كِتَٰبٖ مُّنِيرٖ ٨
And of the people is he who disputes about Allāh without knowledge or guidance or an enlightening book [from Him],
22:9
ثَانِيَ عِطۡفِهِۦ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِۖ لَهُۥ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا خِزۡيٞۖ وَنُذِيقُهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ عَذَابَ ٱلۡحَرِيقِ ٩
Twisting his neck [in arrogance] to mislead [people] from the way of Allāh. For him in the world is disgrace, and We will make him taste on the Day of Resurrection the punishment of the Burning Fire [while it is said],
22:10
ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا قَدَّمَتۡ يَدَاكَ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَيۡسَ بِظَلَّٰمٖ لِّلۡعَبِيدِ ١٠
"That is for what your hands have put forth and because Allāh is not ever unjust to [His] servants."
22:11
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَعۡبُدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ حَرۡفٖۖ فَإِنۡ أَصَابَهُۥ خَيۡرٌ ٱطۡمَأَنَّ بِهِۦۖ وَإِنۡ أَصَابَتۡهُ فِتۡنَةٌ ٱنقَلَبَ عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِهِۦ خَسِرَ ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةَۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلۡخُسۡرَانُ ٱلۡمُبِينُ ١١
And of the people is he who worships Allāh on an edge.1 If he is touched by good, he is reassured by it; but if he is struck by trial, he turns on his face [to unbelief]. He has lost [this] world and the Hereafter. That is what is the manifest loss.

- At the edge of his religion, so to speak, i.e., with uncertainty, hypocrisy or heedlessness. ↩
22:12
يَدۡعُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَضُرُّهُۥ وَمَا لَا يَنفَعُهُۥۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَٰلُ ٱلۡبَعِيدُ ١٢
He invokes instead of Allāh that which neither harms him nor benefits him. That is what is the extreme error.
22:13
يَدۡعُواْ لَمَن ضَرُّهُۥٓ أَقۡرَبُ مِن نَّفۡعِهِۦۚ لَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡمَوۡلَىٰ وَلَبِئۡسَ ٱلۡعَشِيرُ ١٣
He invokes one whose harm is closer than his benefit - how wretched the protector and how wretched the associate.
22:14
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدۡخِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ جَنَّٰتٖ تَجۡرِي مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَٰرُۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفۡعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ ١٤
Indeed, Allāh will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds to gardens beneath which rivers flow. Indeed, Allāh does what He intends.
22:15
مَن كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَن لَّن يَنصُرَهُ ٱللَّهُ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ فَلۡيَمۡدُدۡ بِسَبَبٍ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ثُمَّ لۡيَقۡطَعۡ فَلۡيَنظُرۡ هَلۡ يُذۡهِبَنَّ كَيۡدُهُۥ مَا يَغِيظُ ١٥
Whoever should think that Allāh will not support him [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] in this world and the Hereafter - let him extend a rope to the ceiling, then cut off [his breath],1 and let him see: will his effort remove that which enrages [him]?
