Exegesis of the verse: “Our Lord, indeed You are gathering the people for a Day of which there is no doubt. Indeed, Allah does not break His promise.”

Then Allah the Exalted said: This is what is said regarding it: And we say regarding the grammar of as we said regarding the grammar of what came before. And His saying: is an active participle, and here it does not govern a case because it is attached to a noun; if it were not for the attachment, it would be said: Our Lord, indeed You are the Gatherer of the people. But with the attachment, it does not govern except the genitive case. And His saying: the meaning is: that He gathers them for this time, so the lam here is for specifying the time, just as He said: meaning the time of its setting, or as He said: meaning the time of their waiting periods. So Allah the Exalted is gathering the people for this time meaning without any doubt, but doubt (rayb) is more emphatic than uncertainty (shakk), even though their meanings are close, because doubt (rayb) includes an increase of anxiety and disturbance along with the uncertainty, whereas uncertainty (shakk) is devoid of that.

In this verse, Allah speaks about these noble ones: that after they call upon Allah with what came before, they convey this report expressing their faith and certainty that they believe that Allah is gathering the people for a Day of which there is no doubt, and then they call upon Allah that He not let their hearts deviate and that He grant them mercy from Him, because they believe that there is a Day in which Allah will gather the people to reward them for their deeds. So Allah the Mighty and Majestic informs about these people that they acknowledge this Last Day and that Allah the Exalted will gather the people, the first of them and the last, as He the Exalted said: And He the Exalted said: How many are the people who preceded us, and how many are the people who will follow us, and Allah knows best. And despite this, all these people will...
