Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (So turn away from them on the Day the Caller calls to something abhorrent)

Then He, the Exalted, said:
So turn away from themفَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ
[Surah al-Qamar: 6] The speech ends here. (Turn away) is addressed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), instructing him to turn away from these people because they are obstinate and arrogant. (And the signs and warnings will not benefit a people who do not believe).
And if they see a miracle, they turn away and say, "Passing magic."وَإِنْ يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُسْتَمِرٌّ * فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ
[Surah al-Qamar: 5-6] What they were promised will come to them, and what you were promised will be fulfilled for you.It is good to pause here:
So turn away from themفَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ
Then you resume and say:
The Day the Caller callsيَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ
[Al-Qamar 54:6]
Because if you connected it, it would give the impression that the turning away occurs on the Day the Caller calls, whereas it is known that the turning away is in this world, not on the Day the Caller calls.

And his statement:
The Day the Caller callsيَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ
[Al-Qamar 54:6]
It is a temporal adverb, and a temporal adverb must have a governing verb, just as a prepositional phrase and all objects must have a governing verb.What is the governing verb in his saying:
The Day they will emerge from the gravesيَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ
[Surah al-Ma'arij: 43] ?The governing verb is his saying: (They come out).
The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding, (7) Their eyes humbled, they will emergeيَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ إِلَى شَيْءٍ نُكُرٍ * خُشَّعاً أَبْصَارُهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ
[Surah al-Qamar: 6-7] It is attached to (they come out), meaning: The punishment will come to them at that time:
they will emerge from the graves as if they were locusts spreading,يَوْمَ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ كَأَنَّهُمْ جَرَادٌ مُنْتَشِرٌ
[Al-Qamar 54:7]
.

And his statement:
The Day the Caller calls to something forbidding,يَوْمَ يَدْعُ الدَّاعِ إِلَى شَيْءٍ نُكُرٍ
[Al-Qamar 54:6]
He is a caller on the Day of Resurrection. (To something abhorrent) means: A great abomination due to the severity of its terrors, for there is nothing more abhorrent to souls than that Day, because they have not witnessed anything like it.
