Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Among the benefits of this noble verse is that tyrants are generally blind to the truth, may Allah protect us from that, due to the arrogance and haughtiness in their souls. Thus, they wander blindly in their transgression and do not perceive it as transgression, so they persist in it.
Among the benefits of this noble verse is the establishment of the attribute of mockery for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), meaning that Allah is described with mockery. However, is He described with it absolutely? No, He is not described with it absolutely; rather, He is described with it in response to those who mock Him, His messengers, and His righteous servants. Also, among the benefits of this noble verse is that Allah the Exalted may allow a person to continue in transgression until his sins increase. For this reason, a sign of Allah’s love for a person is that He hastens the punishment for him in this world so that the punishment expiates his evil deeds and serves as a warning to him, because every rational believer, if he is struck by a calamity and knows that he is the cause, will be deterred.
