وَمَا قَدَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدۡرِهِۦ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ جَمِيعٗا قَبۡضَتُهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ مَطۡوِيَّٰتُۢ بِيَمِينِهِۦۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٦٧
They have not appraised Allāh with true appraisal,1 while the earth entirely will be [within] His grip2 on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right hand.3 Exalted is He and high above what they associate with Him.

Commentary on 39:67
﴿وَما قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ﴾ فِيهِ ثَلاثَةُ أوْجُهٍ:
أحَدُها: وما عَظَّمُوهُ حَقَّ عَظَمَتِهِ إذْ عَبَدُوا الأوْثانَ مِن دُونِهِ، قالَهُ الحَسَنُ.
الثّانِي: وما عَظَّمُوهُ حَقَّ عَظَمَتِهِ إذْ دَعَوْا إلى عِبادَةِ غَيْرِهِ، قالَهُ السُّدِّيُّ.
الثّالِثُ: ما وصَفُوهُ حَقَّ صِفَتِهِ، قالَهُ قُطْرُبٌ.
﴿والأرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ القِيامَةِ﴾ فِيهِ وجْهانِ:
أحَدُهُما: أنَّ قَبْضَهُ اسْتِبْدالُها بِغَيْرِها لِقَوْلِهِ ﴿يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الأرْضُ﴾ [إبْراهِيمَ: ٤٨] وهو مُحْتَمَلٌ.
الثّانِي: أيْ هي في مَقْدُورِهِ كالَّذِي يَقْبِضُ عَلَيْهِ القابِضُ في قَبْضَتِهِ.
﴿والسَّماواتُ مَطْوِيّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ﴾ فِيهِ وجْهانِ:
أحَدُهُما: بِقُوَّتِهِ لِأنَّ اليَمِينَ القُوَّةُ.
(p-١٣٥)الثّانِي: في مُلْكِهِ كَقَوْلِهِ ﴿وَما مَلَكَتْ أيْمانُكُمْ﴾ [النِّساءِ: ٣٦] .
وَيَحْتَمِلُ طَيُّها بِيَمِينِهِ وجْهَيْنِ:
أحَدُهُما: طَيُّها يَوْمَ اْلْقِيامَةِ.
لِقَوْلِهِ ﴿يَوْمَ نَطْوِي السَّماءَ﴾
الثّانِي: أنَّها في قَبْضَتِهِ مَعَ بَقاءِ الدُّنْيا كالشَّيْءِ المَطْوِي لِاسْتِيلائِهِ عَلَيْها.
﴿سُبْحانَهُ وتَعالى عَمّا يُشْرِكُونَ﴾ رَوى صَفْوانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ «أنَّ يَهُودِيًّا جاءَ إلى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقالَ يا أبا القاسِمِ إنَّ اللَّهَ أنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ ﴿والأرْضُ جَمِيعًا قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ القِيامَةِ والسَّماواتُ مَطْوِيّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ﴾ فَأيْنَ يَكُونُ الخَلْقُ؟ قالَ (يَكُونُونَ في الظُّلْمَةِ عِنْدَ الجِسْرِ حَتّى يُنَجِّي اللَّهُ مَن يَشاءُ.
قالَ: والَّذِي أنْزَلَ التَّوْراةَ عَلىمُوسى ما عَلى الأرْضِ أحَدٌ يَعْلَمُ هَذا غَيْرِي وغَيْرُكَ.

أَوۡ تَقُولَ لَوۡ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ هَدَىٰنِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلۡمُتَّقِينَ ٥٧
Or [lest] it say, "If only Allāh had guided me, I would have been among the righteous."
39:58
أَوۡ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى ٱلۡعَذَابَ لَوۡ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةٗ فَأَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ٥٨
Or [lest] it say when it sees the punishment, "If only I had another turn1 so I could be among the doers of good."

39:59
بَلَىٰ قَدۡ جَآءَتۡكَ ءَايَٰتِي فَكَذَّبۡتَ بِهَا وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرۡتَ وَكُنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٥٩
But yes, there had come to you My verses, but you denied them and were arrogant, and you were among the disbelievers.
39:60
وَيَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ تَرَى ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَبُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وُجُوهُهُم مُّسۡوَدَّةٌۚ أَلَيۡسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثۡوٗى لِّلۡمُتَكَبِّرِينَ ٦٠
And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied about Allāh [with] their faces blackened. Is there not in Hell a residence for the arrogant?
39:61
وَيُنَجِّي ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ بِمَفَازَتِهِمۡ لَا يَمَسُّهُمُ ٱلسُّوٓءُ وَلَا هُمۡ يَحۡزَنُونَ ٦١
And Allāh will save those who feared Him by their attainment;1 no evil will touch them, nor will they grieve.

- i.e., their success in the trials of worldly life and attainment of Paradise. ↩
39:62
ٱللَّهُ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖۖ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَكِيلٞ ٦٢
Allāh is the Creator of all things, and He is, over all things, Disposer of affairs.
39:63
لَّهُۥ مَقَالِيدُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡخَٰسِرُونَ ٦٣
To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And they who disbelieve in the verses of Allāh - it is those who are the losers.
39:64
قُلۡ أَفَغَيۡرَ ٱللَّهِ تَأۡمُرُوٓنِّيٓ أَعۡبُدُ أَيُّهَا ٱلۡجَٰهِلُونَ ٦٤
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Is it other than Allāh that you order me to worship, O ignorant ones?"
39:65
وَلَقَدۡ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡكَ وَإِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ لَئِنۡ أَشۡرَكۡتَ لَيَحۡبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡخَٰسِرِينَ ٦٥
And it was already revealed to you and to those before you that if you should associate [anything] with Allāh, your work would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers.
39:66
بَلِ ٱللَّهَ فَٱعۡبُدۡ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلشَّٰكِرِينَ ٦٦
Rather, worship [only] Allāh and be among the grateful.
39:67
وَمَا قَدَرُواْ ٱللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدۡرِهِۦ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ جَمِيعٗا قَبۡضَتُهُۥ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ وَٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ مَطۡوِيَّٰتُۢ بِيَمِينِهِۦۚ سُبۡحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشۡرِكُونَ ٦٧
