pronouncing the second one but inserting an alif between the two in both cases)
disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in two days, Sunday and Monday, and
ascribe to Him associates? That is the Lord, in other words, the Possesser, of
[all] the Worlds (al-‘ālamīn, the plural of ‘ālam, which denotes everything
apart from God. On account of the variety [of beings] that it subsumes, it has
been expressed in the plural form ending with –īn, as a way of giving
prevalence [in the address] to rational beings).

And
He placed on the earth firmly set mountains over its surface, and He blessed it
and determined therein its [creatures'] sustenance in four days without
distinction - for [the information] of those who ask.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And
He set (wa-ja‘ala, the beginning of a new [independent] sentence and cannot be
a supplement to [the preceding] relative clause containing alladhī, ‘Who’,
because of the intervening clause that is [syntactically] unrelated) therein
firm mountains [rising] above it, and blessed it, with an abundance of water,
crops and stock, and ordained, divided, therein its [various means of]
sustenance, for human beings and beasts, in four, complete, days — in other
words, the ‘setting therein [of mountains]’ together with what has been
mentioned in addition [all] took place on Tuesday and Wednesday — evenly
(sawā’an, in the accusative because it is a verbal noun) in other words, the
four days were exactly four, neither less nor more, for [all] enquirers, about
the creation of the earth and all that is in it.

Then
He directed Himself to the heaven while it was smoke and said to it and to the
earth, "Come [into being], willingly or by compulsion." They said,
"We have come willingly."
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Then
He turned to the heaven when it was smoke, [consisting of] rising vapours, and
He said to it and to the earth, “Come both of you, to what I desire from you,
willingly, or unwillingly!” (taw‘an aw karhan, their [syntactical] locus is
that of a circumstantial qualifier, in other words, ‘[Come] being obedient or
coerced’). They said, “We come, together with all those inhabiting us,
willingly!” (tā’i‘īna mainly indicates masculine rational beings; it may also
be that they are referred to in this way because they are being addressed
thus).

And
He completed them as seven heavens within two days and inspired in each heaven
its command. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps and as protection.
That is the determination of the Exalted in Might, the Knowing.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Then
He ordained them (the [suffixed] pronoun refers back to al-samā’, ‘the heaven’,
because it [al-samā’] actually denotes that plural [sense] to which it will
lead [in the following clause), in other words, He made them to be, seven
heavens in two days — Thursday and Friday. He completed them in the last hour
thereof, in which He created Adam — which is why He does not say sawā’an,
‘evenly’ here [as He did earlier]; what is said here concords with those verse
in which it is stated that the heavens and the earth were created in six days;
and in each heaven He revealed its commandment’, that to which He commanded
those in it [to follow], in the way of obedience and worship. And We adorned
the lowest heaven with lamps, with stars, and [this was also] to guard them
(hifzan is in the accusative because of its implicit verbal sense, in other
words, ‘We guarded it against the devils lest they try to listen therein [to
the angels] by stealth with meteors’). That is the ordaining of the Mighty, in
His kingdom, the Knower, of His creatures.

clear statement, then say, ‘I warn you of, I threaten you [with], a thunderbolt

will destroy you like the one that destroyed them.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
When
the messengers came to them from in front of them and from behind them, that
is, coming to them [to warn them] and leaving them behind [as they departed],
but they disbelieved, as will be stated shortly — the destruction [of them
meant] would only take place in his time — saying, ‘Worship none but God’, they
said, ‘Had our Lord willed, He would have surely sent down, to us, angels;
therefore we indeed disbelieve in what you, according to your claim, have been
sent with!’

As
for 'Aad, they were arrogant upon the earth without right and said, "Who is
greater than us in strength?" Did they not consider that Allah who created
them was greater than them in strength? But they were rejecting Our signs.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
As
for ‘Ād, they acted arrogantly in the earth without right, and they said, upon
their being threatened with the chastisement, ‘Who is more powerful than us in
might?’, in other words, [they believed] no one [to be so] — a single man among
them could pull out a huge rock from a mountainside and [have the strength to]
place it wherever he wished. Did they not see, [did they not] realise, that
God, He Who created them, was more powerful than them in might? And they used
to deny Our signs, the miracles [We sent down].

So

during [some] ill-fated days (read nahisātin, or nahsātin), [days that were]
calamitous for them, that We might make them taste the chastisement of
disgrace, humiliation, in the life of this world; yet the chastisement of the
Hereafter is indeed more disgraceful, more severe, and they will not be helped,
to have it warded off from them.

with the power to originate you without any precedent and restore you to life

chastisement more severe than ours.

ignorance with forbearance, and [the intention to inflict] harm with pardon,

friend in terms of [his] affection [for you], if you act in such a way

أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ
فِي مِرْيَةٍ مِّن لِّقَاءِ رَبِّهِمْ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّهُ
بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُّحِيطٌ
Pronunciation
Ala
innahum fee miryatin min liqa-irabbihim ala innahu bikulli shay-in muheet
Translation
Unquestionably,
they are in doubt about the meeting with their Lord. Unquestionably He is, of
all things, encompassing.
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Nay,
verily they are in doubt about the encounter with their Lord, because they deny
the Resurrection. Nay, verily He, exalted be He, encompasses all things, in
knowledge and in power, and so He will requite them for their disbelief.
