Important Words:
عربیا (clear, eloquent language) is derived from عرب (‘ariba or ‘aruba). The root meanings of this word denote fulness, abundance and plainness coupled with chasteness. Hence all the words formed from this root express the idea of fulness, abundance and clearness. Thus the words قرآنا عربیا would mean, the Book which is most extensively and regularly read and which expresses its ideas and themes in a most clear, eloquent and comprehensive language. See also 12:3 & 20:114.

6:26; 17:47; 18:58.
The verse depicts disbelievers as saying sarcastically to the Holy Prophet, 'your teaching is too good for us sinners to accept and your ideals too sublime to be understood and realized by us.' If the words are taken to be spoken seriously they would mean, 'We are fully determined not to accept your teaching. We have closed all the avenues of our hearts, eyes and ears against it.'

这节经文描写不信者讥讽穆圣说: “你的教义美好得为我们罪人不能接受, 你的思想崇高得我们不能理解, 不能体会。” 如果这话是严肃和认真的, 其意思就是: “我们下定决心, 不接受你的教义。为了拒斥它, 我们已关闭了我们的心路和耳目的所有道路。”

ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ هُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ
Commentary:
The verse mentions two very prominent characteristics of disbelievers—they do not pay to the competent authorities, out of their hoarded wealth, the Zakah which is due from them and do not believe in the accountability for their actions in the life to come.

غیر ممنون (that will never end) is derived from من (manna).

۞ قُلْ أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَكْفُرُونَ بِٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَرْضَ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ وَتَجْعَلُونَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
要概括这 “两天” 的长短是不可能的。它也许可延伸至数千年之久。在 «古兰经» 中, 即使 يَوْم (Yaum, 一天) 也说成是等于一千年 (22:48), 甚至相等于五万年 (70:5)。两天创造大地之说可意指大地在冷却并凝结之后由混沌一团演变成形的两个阶段。
It is not possible to surmise as to the length of these 'two days.' They may have extended over thousands of years. Even in the Qur’an Yaum (day) has been spoken of as equal to a thousand years (22:48), or even equal to fifty thousand years (70:5). The making of the earth in two days may signify the two stages through which the earth passed from a formless matter into a gradually evolved form after it had cooled down and become condensed.
Commentary:
The word یوم (of which the dual is یومین) properly means, time absolutely (see 1:4; 10:4). It is in this sense that the word has been used in this and the next verse. It is not possible to surmise the length of these "two days." They may have extended over thousands of years. Even in the Quran یوم (day) has been spoken of as equal to a thousand years (22:48) or even equal to fifty thousand years (70:5). So یوم (day) in this and the next verse does not denote the day as determined by the rising and setting of the sun. The word denotes time absolutely, or may signify an indefinite period or stage in the development of a thing.
The making of the earth in two days may signify the two stages through which the earth passed from a formless matter into a gradually evolved form after it had cooled down and become condensed.

上一节经文提到大地呈现了现在形状之前必须经过 “两天” 或两个阶段, 这两天或两个阶段包括在这节经文提到的 “四天” 之内, 另外的 “两天” 指大地上安排山岳江河等以及在上面养育动植物的两个阶段。另见第十三节经文。“在那里适当估量了应受供应的许多生活资料,” 这句表示, 大地现在能够而且将来仍旧永远完全能够为生活在上面的所有生物提供食物。
“对于所有追求者都是一样的,” 一语可以表示, 安拉在大地上提供的种种食物, 是所有准备依循自然规律而获得食物的寻求者都可以容易获得的; 它也可以表示, 大地上生产出来的食物可以充分地满足人类一切物质上的需求。因此, 担心某天大地将不能生产足够的粮食来满足迅速增长的世界人口是没有根据的。 “世界能为280亿人即当前世界人口的10倍提供食物、纤维和一切农产品的要求” (牛津大学农业经济研究院主任柯林斯•克拉克)。联合国粮食和农业组织最近还在 «1959年粮食和农业状况» 报告中指出: 世界粮食供应的增长比人口增长快两倍。
اِس آیت سے یہ اشارہ نکلتا ہے کہ ایک زمانہ میں زمین کو پوری غذا پیدا کرنے کے قابل نہیں سمجھا جائے گا۔ مگر اللہ تعالیٰ اس کا رد کرتا ہے اور فرماتا ہے ہم نے زمین میں ایسے سامان پیدا کر دئیے ہیں جن کی وجہ سے وہ حسبِ ضرورت غذا دے گی۔ خواہ زمین سے نکال کر‘ یا نئی غذا کے ایجاد ہونے سے‘ یا آسمانی شعاعوں کی مدد سے۔
مطلب یہ ہے کہ لاکھ آدمی بھی سوال کریں تو ہمارا جواب یہی ہوگا۔ چنانچہ غذا کا مسئلہ دنیا میں کوئی دو سو سال سے مختلف ممالک میں زیر بحث چلا آرہا ہے سب کو اوپر کا جواب پڑھنا چاہیے کہ یہ خداتعالیٰ کا فیصلہ ہے۔ ایک دفعہ مسٹر کپور جو پنجاب یونیورسٹی کے پروفیسر غذا تھے مجھ سے ملنے کے لئے قادیان آئے اور میں نے قرآنی آیات سے ان کو غذا کا معاملہ سمجھایا تو بہت حیران ہوئے اور خواہش کی کہ یہ آیات مجھے لکھ دی جائیں چنانچہ مَیں نے ان کو لکھوا دیں۔
13:4; 15:20; 77:28.
The 'two days' or stages mentioned in the previous verse through which the earth had to pass before it assumed its present form are included among the 'four days' mentioned in the present verse, the additional 'two days' signifying the two stages of the placing on it of mountains, rivers, etc. and the growth on it of vegetable and animal life. See also v. 11. The words, 'provided therein its foods in proper measure,' signify that the earth is and will ever remain to be fully capable of providing food for all the creatures that live on it.
The expression, 'alike for all seekers,' may signify that the foods which God has provided in the earth are equally accessible to all seekers who try to get them according to the laws of nature. It may also mean that all the physical needs and requirements of man have been adequately met in the foods that grow out of earth. So the fear that the earth may not some day be able to grow sufficient food for the fast increasing population of the world is groundless. 'The world can provide food, fibre and all other agricultural requirements for 28 billion people, ten times the world’s present population' (Prof. Cohn Clark, Director of the Agricultural Economics Research Institute of Oxford University). Only recently the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization pointed out in its report, 'The State of Food and Agriculture, 1959,' that the world’s food supply grows twice as fast as its population.

Important Words:
اقواتھا (its foods) is the plural of قوت (qut) which is derived from قات which means, he fed, nourished or sustained or fed with what would sustain the body. أقات علی الشیء means, he had power or ability to do the thing. أقاته means, he guarded or protected him. قوت means, provision, food, sustenance, etc. (Lane & Aqrab).

这节经文表示, 宇宙万物都服从某些规律, 并遵循、依照这些规律活动。宇宙万物没有斟酌决定的自由, 只有人类赋有这种自由或意志, 以服从或反抗真主的指令, 但人类常利用了这种自由而遭殃。这也是经文33:73中的含意。
Kurhan or Karhan in both forms is infinitive-noun from Kariha (he disliked), the former (Kurhan) meaning, what you yourself do not like and the latter (Karhan) meaning, what you are compelled to do against your will by someone else. Fa‘ala-hu Karhan means, he did it unwillingly (Lane).
The verse signifies that everything in the universe is subject to certain laws which it obeys and according to which it works. It has no discretion. It is man alone who has been endowed with volition or discretion to obey or defy the Divine laws and it is not unoften that he uses his discretion to his detriment. This is also the meaning and significance of 33:73.
Important Words:
دخان (smoke) is infinitive-noun from دخن. They say دخنت النار i.e. the fire sent up smoke. دخان means, smoke or gaseous matter; evil or mischief, dearth, drought, sterility; hunger (Lane & Aqrab).
کرھا (unwillingly) is derived from کرہ. They say کرہ الشیء (kariha) i.e. he did not desire, disapproved, disliked, hated or loathed the thing. أکرھه علی الامر means, he compelled him to do the thing against his will. کرھا (kurhan and karhan) in both forms is infinitive-noun from کرہ, the former کرھا i.e. (kurhan) meaning, what you yourself do not like and the latter (karhan) meaning, what you are compelled to do against your will by someone else. فعله کرھا (karhan) means, he did it unwillingly (Lane & Aqrab).

فَقَضَىٰهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَاتٍ فِى يَوْمَيْنِ وَأَوْحَىٰ فِى كُلِّ سَمَآءٍ أَمْرَهَا ۚ وَزَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِمَصَٰبِيحَ وَحِفْظًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْعَلِيمِ
15:17; 37:7; 67:6.
第10和第11节经文论到, 大地的造化用了两天时间, 在大地上安拉安排山河等并使动植物生长又花了两天时间。但是这一节经文提到, 和大地一样, 太阳系及其恒星和卫星的形成也花了两天时间。因此全宇宙的形成共用了六天, 这时间和7:55和50:39章节中的时间很吻合。如把 يَوْم (Yaum) 作 “阶段” 解, 第10、11节和第13节合在一起的意思就是:整个物质宇宙由六个阶段完成。宇宙创造之后, 人类开始存在, 创造人类也由六个阶段完成 (23:13-15)。
15:17; 37:7; 67:6.
In vv. 10 and 11 it is stated that the making of the earth took two days and the placing on it of the mountains, rivers, etc. and of vegetable and animal life, another two days. In the present verse, however, it is mentioned that like the earth the solar system with its planets and satellites took two days to become complete. Thus the whole universe came into existence in six days or periods which is quite in harmony with vv. 7:55 and 50:39. Taking the word Yaum in the sense of 'stage,' the three vv. 10, 11 and 13 taken together would mean that the whole physical universe was completed in six stages. After the creation of the universe, man came into existence and his creation also was completed in six stages (23:13-15).

فَإِنْ أَعْرَضُوا۟ فَقُلْ أَنذَرْتُكُمْ صَٰعِقَةً مِّثْلَ صَٰعِقَةِ عَادٍ وَثَمُودَ

40:31-32.
Commentary:
The purport of the verse seems to be that when the vast and orderly universe, of which the earth forms but a small part, and the planets and satellites of which the universe is composed have been created for the service of man, it is inconceivable that man for whom everything was brought into existence, should have been created without a purpose. His life has a grim purpose and a great mission. He has been created to develop and manifest in himself, on human scale, Divine attributes in order to prove himself to be God’s vicegerent on earth. To help him to achieve this supreme and noble object, God sent His Messengers. These Divine Messengers came to all peoples in different periods of time. Invariably they were rejected by their peoples and the rejecters met with a sad fate. The Holy Prophet is asked to warn his own people that if they rejected and opposed him, they, too, will meet with no better fate. The verse under comment cites the examples of ‘Ad and Thamud who by rejecting their Prophets incurred God’s displeasure and punishment.
