Commentary on 40:61–62
القَوْلُ في تَأْوِيلِ قَوْلِهِ تَعالى:
[ ٦١، ٦٢] ﴿اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ والنَّهارَ مُبْصِرًا إنَّ اللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلى النّاسِ ولَكِنَّ أكْثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَشْكُرُونَ﴾ ﴿ذَلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكم خالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لا إلَهَ إلا هو فَأنّى تُؤْفَكُونَ﴾ [غافر: ٦٢] .
﴿اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ﴾ أيِ: اللَّهُ الَّذِي لا تَصْلُحُ الأُلُوهِيَّةُ إلّا لَهُ ولا تَنْبَغِي عِبادَةُ غَيْرِهِ، هو الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ اللَّيْلَ مُظْلِمًا لِتَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ،فَتَسْتَرِدُّوا بِالرّاحَةِ فِيهِ، (p-٥١٧٨)ما فاتَكم مِنَ القُوى في العَمَلِ بِالنَّهارِ: ﴿والنَّهارَ مُبْصِرًا﴾ أيْ: أنْ يُبْصَرَ فِيهِ، أوْ بِهِ لِتَتَحَرَّكُوا لِتَحْصِيلِ الأكْسابِ الدِّينِيَّةِ والدُّنْيَوِيَّةِ، فَقَدْ تَفَضَّلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكم بِهِما وبِما فِيهِما.
﴿إنَّ اللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلى النّاسِ﴾ أيْ: لِيَشْكُرُوهُ بِعِبادَتِهِ: ﴿ولَكِنَّ أكْثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَشْكُرُونَ﴾ ﴿ذَلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكم خالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لا إلَهَ إلا هو فَأنّى تُؤْفَكُونَ﴾ [غافر: ٦٢] أيْ: عَنْ طاعَتِهِ إلى إثْباتِ الشَّرِيكِ وعِبادَتِهِ.

40:59
إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَأٓتِيَةٞ لَّا رَيۡبَ فِيهَا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ ٥٩
Indeed, the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - but most of the people do not believe.
40:60
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ٱدۡعُونِيٓ أَسۡتَجِبۡ لَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَكۡبِرُونَ عَنۡ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدۡخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ ٦٠
And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.
40:61
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيۡلَ لِتَسۡكُنُواْ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبۡصِرًاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضۡلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَشۡكُرُونَ ٦١
It is Allāh who made for you the night that you may rest therein and the day giving sight.1 Indeed, Allāh is the possessor of bounty for the people, but most of them are not grateful.

ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡ خَٰلِقُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُؤۡفَكُونَ ٦٢
That is Allāh, your Lord, Creator of all things; there is no deity except Him, so how are you deluded?
40:63
كَذَٰلِكَ يُؤۡفَكُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَانُواْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ يَجۡحَدُونَ ٦٣
Thus were those [before you] deluded who were rejecting the signs of Allāh.
40:64
ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ قَرَارٗا وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءٗ وَصَوَّرَكُمۡ فَأَحۡسَنَ صُوَرَكُمۡ وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتِۚ ذَٰلِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّكُمۡۖ فَتَبَارَكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٦٤
It is Allāh who made for you the earth a place of settlement and the sky a structure [i.e., ceiling] and formed you and perfected your forms and provided you with good things. That is Allāh, your Lord; then blessed is Allāh, Lord of the worlds.
40:65
هُوَ ٱلۡحَيُّ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱدۡعُوهُ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَۗ ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٦٥
He is the Ever-Living;1 there is no deity except Him, so call upon Him, [being] sincere to Him in religion. [All] praise is [due] to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

40:66
۞ قُلۡ إِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنۡ أَعۡبُدَ ٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ لَمَّا جَآءَنِيَ ٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتُ مِن رَّبِّي وَأُمِرۡتُ أَنۡ أُسۡلِمَ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ٦٦
Say, [O Muḥammad], "Indeed, I have been forbidden to worship those you call upon besides Allāh once the clear proofs have come to me from my Lord, and I have been commanded to submit to the Lord of the worlds."
