is kindled with him, and he will remain therein forever, because he is a disbeliever. “Indeed, he had been joyful among his family.” In this world, he had been joyful among his family, but that joy was followed by regret and unending, perpetual sorrow. Compare Allah Most High’s words concerning the one given his record in his right hand, “and he will return to his family joyful,” with His words concerning this one, “he had been joyful among his family.” You will find a difference between the two joys: the first is everlasting joy—we ask Allah to make us among them—whereas the second was fleeting and has passed away. “He had been joyful among his family,” but now he has no joy.

“Indeed, he thought that he would never return”—that is, that he would not return after death. Hence, they denied the resurrection and said that there would be no resurrection, asking, “Who will give life to bones when they have crumbled to dust?” “Indeed, he thought that he would never return.” Allah Most High says, “Yes indeed!” That is, he will return. “Surely his Lord was ever All-Seeing of him”—meaning that he will return to Allah, Glorified and Exalted, who sees his deeds and will call him to account for them as required by His wisdom and justice.

“No! I swear by the twilight glow, and by the night and all that it envelops, and by the moon when it becomes full: you will surely pass from stage to stage. So what is the matter with them that they do not believe, and when the Quran is recited to them, they do not prostrate? Rather, those who disbelieve persist in denial, though Allah knows best what they harbor within. So give them tidings of a painful punishment, except those who believe and perform righteous deeds; theirs shall be a never-ending reward.”

“No! I swear by the twilight glow, and by the night and all that it envelops, and by the moon when it becomes full: you will surely pass from stage to stage.” This passage comprises an oath, that by which the oath is sworn, the matter affirmed by the oath, and the One who swears it. The oath occurs in His words, “No! I swear by the twilight glow.” Someone might suppose that “No! I swear” expresses negation, but that is not so. Rather, it is an affirmation, and lā (“no”)

تسعر به ويكون مخلداً فيها أبداً، لأنه كافر ﴿إنه كان في أهله مسروراً﴾ إنه كان في الدينا في أهله مسروراً، ولكن هذا السرور أعقبه الندم والحزن الدائم المستمر، واربط بين قوله تعالى فيمن أوتي كتابه بيمينه ﴿وينقلب إلى أهله مسروراً﴾ ، وهذا ﴿كان في أهله مسروراً﴾ تجد فرقاً بين السرورين، فسرور الأول سرور دائم ـ نسأل الله أن يجعلنا منهم ـ وسرور الثاني سرور زائل، ذهب ﴿كان في أهله مسروراً﴾ أما الان فلا سرور عنده ﴿إنه ظن أن لن يحور﴾ أي: ألا يرجع بعد الموت، ولهذا كانوا ينكرون البعث ويقولون لا بعث، ويقولون: من يحيي العظام وهي رميم ﴿إنه ظن أن لن يحور﴾ قال تعالى: ﴿بلى﴾ أي سيحور ويرجع ﴿إن ربه كان به بصيراً﴾ يعني أنه سيرجع إلى الله ﷿ الذي هو بصير بأعماله، وسوف يحاسبه عليها على ما تقتضيه حكمته وعدله. ﴿فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالشَّفَقِ * وَالَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ * وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا اتَّسَقَ * لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقاً عَن طَبقٍ * فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ * وَإِذَا قُرِىءَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ * بَلِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُكَذِّبُونَ * وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ * فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ * إِلَاّ الَّذِينَءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّلِحَتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ﴾ . ﴿فلا أقسم بالشفق. والليل وما وسق. والقمر إذا اتسق. لتركبن طبقاً عن طبق﴾ . هذه الجملة مكونة من قسم، ومُقسم به، ومقسم عليه، ومُقسِم، فالقسم في قوله: ﴿لا أقسم بالشفق﴾ قد يظن الظان أن معنى ﴿لا أقسم﴾ نفي، وليس كذلك بل هو إثبات و ﴿لا﴾
