Tafsir al-SadiAbd al-Rahman al-Sadi’

(28) He then presented them with a rational proof against their position and for their resurrection: the proof from the initial creation. He said: “We created them”—that is, We brought them into existence from nothing—“and strengthened their frame”—that is, We fashioned them firmly with nerves, veins, tendons, and outward and inward faculties, until the body was complete and fully formed, enabling them to do whatever they wished. The One who brought them into existence in this state is therefore able to restore them after death for their recompense. And it is not fitting that the One who carried them through these stages in this worldly abode should leave them without purpose—neither commanding nor forbidding them, and neither rewarding nor punishing them.

Thus He said: “We shall replace them with their counterparts entirely”—that is, We shall bring you into being in another creation for the Resurrection and restore you in your very persons; their counterparts will be none other than they themselves.

“Indeed, this is a reminder”—that is, the believer takes heed through it and benefits from the warnings and encouragement it contains. “So whoever wills may take a path to his Lord”—that is, a path leading to Him. Allah makes the truth and guidance clear, then gives people the choice between following that guidance and turning away from it, after the proof has been established against them (1). “Yet you do not will unless Allah wills,” for Allah’s will is always carried out. “Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.” His is the wisdom in guiding those who are guided and leading astray those who go astray.

“He admits whomever He wills into His mercy,” singling him out for His care, granting him success in pursuing the means to happiness, and guiding him to its paths. “And the wrongdoers”—those who chose wretchedness over guidance—“He has prepared for them a painful punishment” [because of their wrongdoing and transgression].

The commentary on Sūrat al-Insān is complete—to Allah belong all praise and favor (2).

Commentary on Sūrat al-Mursalāt

It is a Meccan surah.

(1) Manuscript B reads: “To establish the proof, so that whoever perished would perish upon clear evidence, and whoever lived would live upon clear evidence.” (2) Manuscript B reads: “Completed, praise be to Allah.”

﴿٢٨﴾ ثم استدل عليهم وعلى بعثهم بدليل عقلي، وهو دليل الابتداء، فقال: ﴿ ﴿نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَاهُمْ﴾ أي: أوجدناهم من العدم، ﴿وَشَدَدْنَا أَسْرَهُمْ﴾ أي: أحكمنا خلقتهم بالأعصاب، والعروق، والأوتار، والقوى الظاهرة والباطنة، حتى تم الجسم واستكمل، وتمكن من كل ما يريده، فالذي أوجدهم على هذه الحالة، قادر على أن يعيدهم بعد موتهم لجزائهم، والذي نقلهم في هذه الدار إلى هذه الأطوار، لا يليق به أن يتركهم سدى، لا يؤمرون، ولا ينهون، ولا يثابون، ولا يعاقبون، ولهذا قال: ﴿بَدَّلْنَا أَمْثَالَهُمْ تَبْدِيلا﴾ أي: أنشأناكم للبعث نشأة أخرى، وأعدناكم بأعيانكم، وهم بأنفسهم أمثالهم. ﴿إِنَّ هَذِهِ تَذْكِرَةٌ﴾ أي: يتذكر بها المؤمن، فينتفع بما فيها من التخويف والترغيب. ﴿فَمَنْ شَاءَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ سَبِيلا﴾ أي: طريقا موصلا إليه، فالله يبين الحق والهدى، ثم يخير الناس بين الاهتداء بها أو النفور عنها، مع قيام الحجة عليهم (١) ، ﴿وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلا أَنْ يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ﴾ فإن مشيئة الله نافذة، ﴿إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا﴾ فله الحكمة في هداية المهتدي، وإضلال الضال. ﴿يُدْخِلُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ﴾ فيختصه بعنايته، ويوفقه لأسباب السعادة ويهديه لطرقها. ﴿وَالظَّالِمِينَ﴾ الذين اختاروا الشقاء على الهدى ﴿أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا﴾ [بظلمهم وعدوانهم] . تم تفسير سورة الإنسان - ولله الحمد والمنة (٢) . تفسير سورة المرسلات وهي مكية

(١) في ب: إقامة للحجة ليهلك من هلك عن بينة، ويحيي من حي عن بينة. (٢) في ب: تمت ولله الحمد.
