stated that a child born among the Israelites shall be the cause of the
destruction of Pharaoh’s kingdom; and in that, deliverance — or [in that]
chastisement — was a tremendous trial, grace — or [a tremendous] test — from

evildoers, the disbelievers, there shall be a painful chastisement.

mankind, so that they might remember, be admonished, and therefore believe.

their plotting, even though it be great, was not such whereby mountains should
be moved, meaning that it is not of any importance, but that they are only
harming themselves thereby. It is said that the use of ‘mountains’ here is
meant to be literal; alternatively, it is also said [to be a reference to] the
laws of Islam, which are likened to these [mountains] in the way that they are
established and fixed (a variant reading has la-tazūlu [instead of li-tazūla],
with in softened [from inna, ‘verily’], in which case the intended meaning is
that [the extent of] their plotting is great. It is said that ‘plotting’ here
is [actually a reference to] their unbelief. This second [reading] is consonant
with [God’s saying]: Whereby the heavens are almost torn and the earth split
asunder and the mountains fall crashing [Q. 19:90]; according to the former
[reading], however, one should read it as [if it were] wa-mā kāna, and [their
plotting] was not such …).

So
that Allah will recompense every soul for what it earned. Indeed, Allah is
swift in account.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
that
God may requite (li-yajziya is semantically connected to [the verb] barazū,
‘they shall come forth’) every soul for what it has earned, of good and evil.
Truly God is swift at reckoning — He shall reckon with all creatures in about
half a day of the days of this world, as one hadīth states to that effect.

This
[Qur'an] is notification for the people that they may be warned thereby and
that they may know that He is but one God and that those of understanding will
be reminded.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
This,
Qur’ān, is a Proclamation for mankind, in other words, it was revealed in order
to proclaim to them, and so that they may be warned thereby, and that they may
know, by way of the arguments contained in it, that He, namely, God, is One
God, and that people of pith, possessors of intellect, may remember
(yadhdhakkara: the original tā’ [of yatadhakkara] has been assimilated with the
dhāl), [that they] may be admonished.
