The Types of Oaths by Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) in the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Indeed, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) swore oaths in many places. He swore by the morning brightness, and He swore in Surat al-Qiyamah,He said:
I swear by the Day of Resurrectionلا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
[al-Qiyamah:1] So what is the difference between the two oaths?
As for the oaths of Allah the Exalted, He swore by the morning brightness, He swore by the sun, He swore by the night, and He swore by other created things,And as for His saying (the Exalted):
I swear by the Day of Resurrectionلا أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
[al-Qiyamah:1] This is not a negation; this is an affirmation, and the (la) in His saying: (I do not swear) is for emphasis and not for negation,And for this reason we say: In this verse, Allah swore by the Day of Resurrection, and we do not say that He did not swear.
