Commentary on 32:6
ولَمّا تَقَرَّرَ هَذا مِن عالَمِ الأشْباحِ والخَلْقِ، ثُمَّ عالَمِ الأرْواحِ والأمْرِ، فَدَلَّ ذَلِكَ عَلى شُمُولِ القُدْرَةِ، وكانَ شامِلُ القُدْرَةِ لا بُدَّ وأنْ يَكُونَ (p-٢٤٣)مُحِيطَ العِلْمِ، كانَتْ نَتِيجَتُهُ لا مَحالَةَ: ﴿ذَلِكَ﴾ أيِ الإلَهُ العالِي المِقْدارِ، الواضِحُ المَنارِ ﴿عالِمُ الغَيْبِ﴾ الَّذِي تَقَدَّمَتْ مَفاتِيحُهُ آخِرَ الَّتِي قَبْلَها مِنَ الأرْواحِ والأمْرِ والخَلْقِ.
ولَمّا قَدَّمَ عِلْمَ الغَيْبِ لِكَوْنِهِ أعْلى وكانَ العالَمُ بِهِ قَدْ لا يَعْلَمُ المَشْهُودَ لِكَوْنِهِ لا يُبْصِرُ قالَ: ﴿والشَّهادَةِ﴾ مِن ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ الَّتِي مِنها تَنْزِيلُ القُرْآنِ عَلَيْكَ ووُصُولُهُ إلَيْكَ ﴿العَزِيزُ﴾ الَّذِي يُعْجِزُ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ ولا يُعْجِزُهُ شَيْءٌ. ولَمّا كانَ رُبَّما قَدَحَ مُتَعَنِّتٌ في عِزَّتِهِ بِإهْمالِ العُصاةِ قالَ: ﴿الرَّحِيمُ﴾ [أيِ] الَّذِي خَصَّ أهْلَ التَّكْلِيفِ مِن عِبادِهِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ في إنْزالِ الكُتُبِ عَلى ألْسِنَةِ الرُّسُلِ، وأبانَ لَهم ما تَرْضاهُ الإلَهِيَّةُ، بَعْدَ أنْ عَمَّ جَمِيعَ الخَلائِقِ بِصِفَةِ الرَّحْمانِيَّةِ بَعْدَ الإيجادِ مِنَ الإعْدامِ بِالبِرِّ والإنْعامِ.

32:2
تَنزِيلُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهِ مِن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٢
[This is] the revelation of the Book about which there is no doubt from the Lord of the worlds.
32:3
أَمۡ يَقُولُونَ ٱفۡتَرَىٰهُۚ بَلۡ هُوَ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَوۡمٗا مَّآ أَتَىٰهُم مِّن نَّذِيرٖ مِّن قَبۡلِكَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَهۡتَدُونَ ٣
Or do they say, "He invented it"? Rather, it is the truth from your Lord, [O Muḥammad], that you may warn a people to whom no warner has come before you [so] perhaps they will be guided.
32:4
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٖ ثُمَّ ٱسۡتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِۖ مَا لَكُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا شَفِيعٍۚ أَفَلَا تَتَذَكَّرُونَ ٤
It is Allāh who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne.1 You have not besides Him any protector or any intercessor; so will you not be reminded?

32:5
يُدَبِّرُ ٱلۡأَمۡرَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ثُمَّ يَعۡرُجُ إِلَيۡهِ فِي يَوۡمٖ كَانَ مِقۡدَارُهُۥٓ أَلۡفَ سَنَةٖ مِّمَّا تَعُدُّونَ ٥
He arranges [each] matter from the heaven to the earth; then it will ascend to Him in a Day, the extent of which is a thousand years of those which you count.
32:6
ذَٰلِكَ عَٰلِمُ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٦
That is the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
32:7
ٱلَّذِيٓ أَحۡسَنَ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥۖ وَبَدَأَ خَلۡقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنِ مِن طِينٖ ٧
Who perfected everything which He created and began the creation of man from clay.
32:8
ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسۡلَهُۥ مِن سُلَٰلَةٖ مِّن مَّآءٖ مَّهِينٖ ٨
Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained.
32:9
ثُمَّ سَوَّىٰهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِۦۖ وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَۚ قَلِيلٗا مَّا تَشۡكُرُونَ ٩
Then He proportioned him and breathed into him from His [created] soul1 and made for you hearing and vision and hearts [i.e., intellect]; little are you grateful.

32:10
وَقَالُوٓاْ أَءِذَا ضَلَلۡنَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَءِنَّا لَفِي خَلۡقٖ جَدِيدِۭۚ بَلۡ هُم بِلِقَآءِ رَبِّهِمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ١٠
And they say, "When we are lost [i.e., disintegrated] within the earth, will we indeed be [recreated] in a new creation?" Rather, they are, in the meeting with their Lord, disbelievers.
32:11
۞ قُلۡ يَتَوَفَّىٰكُم مَّلَكُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِ ٱلَّذِي وُكِّلَ بِكُمۡ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمۡ تُرۡجَعُونَ ١١
Say, "The angel of death who has been entrusted with you will take you. Then to your Lord you will be returned."
