فِي

in

مَسْأَلَةِ

the issue of

الْقَدَرِ،

destiny,

in the issue of destiny,

مَعَ

along

أَنَّ

with

مَنْطُوقَ

the explicit wording of

الْآيَةِ

the verse

هُوَ

being

أَنَّ

that

كُلَّ

everyone

مَنْ

who

يَعْمَلُ

does

هَذِهِ

these

الْأَعْمَالَ

deeds

فَسَنُجَازِيهِ

We will reward him

بِالْجَنَّةِ

with Paradise

وَالنَّعِيمِ

and the lasting

الْمُقِيمِ،

bliss,

along with the explicit wording of the verse being that everyone who does these deeds we will reward him with Paradise and the lasting bliss,

وَكُلَّ

and everyone

مَنْ

who

يَعْمَلُ

does

بِضِدِّ

the opposite of

هَذِهِ

these

الْأَعْمَالِ،

deeds,

فَسَوْفَ

then soon

نُعَذِّبُهُ

We will punish him

وَنُصْلِيهِ

and make him enter

الْجَحِيمَ،

Hellfire,

and everyone who does the opposite of these deeds, then soon We will punish him and make him enter Hellfire,

إِلَّا

except

أَنَّهُ

that

عَنْ

through

طَرِيقِ

the way of

الِاعْتِبَارِ

consideration

يُمْكِنُ

it is possible

أَنْ

to

يُعْلَمَ

know

بِهِ

thereby

أَنَّ

that

اللَّهَ

God

- عَزَّ

- Mighty

وَجَلَّ

and Majestic

- خَلَقَ

created

كُلَّ

every

شَخْصٍ

person

لِعَمَلٍ

for a deed

وَحَالَةٍ،

and a state,

except that through the way of consideration it is possible to know thereby that God - Mighty and Majestic - created every person for a deed and a state,

وَهِيَ

and it is

الْحَالَةُ

the state

الَّتِي

which

تَجْرِي

flows

عَلَيْهِ

upon him

وَيُسَرُّ

and he is facilitated

لَهَا

towards it

مِنْ

from

حَيْثُ

where

يَدْرِي

he knows

أَوْ

or

لَا

does not

يَدْرِي،

know,

and it is the state which flows upon him and he is facilitated towards it from where he knows or does not know,

فَمِنْ

so from

هُنَا

here

وَبِهَذَا

and with this

الِاعْتِبَارِ

consideration

كَانَ

was

لِهَذِهِ

for this

الْآيَةِ

verse

الْكَرِيمَةِ

noble

ارْتِبَاطٌ

a connection

بِقَضِيَّةِ

to the issue of

الْقَدَرِ.

destiny.

so from here and with this consideration was for this noble verse a connection to the issue of destiny.

كَذَلِكَ

Likewise

قَوْلُهُ

is His statement

- تَعَالَى

- Most High

-:

-

{وَنَفْسٍ

{And a soul

وَمَا

and what

سَوَّاهَا

proportioned it

(٧)

(7)

فَأَلْهَمَهَا

then inspired it

فُجُورَهَا

its wickedness

وَتَقْوَاهَا}

and its righteousness}

Likewise is His statement - Most High -: {And a soul and what proportioned it (7) then inspired it its wickedness and its righteousness}

فَالْمَعْنَى

so the meaning

لِهَذِهِ

of this

الْآيَةِ

verse

الْكَرِيمَةِ

noble

أَنَّ

is that

اللَّهَ

God

- عَزَّ

- Mighty

وَجَلَّ

and Majestic

- عَرَّفَ

made known

كُلَّ

to every

نَفْسٍ

soul

بِالْبِرِّ

righteousness

وَالْإِثْمِ

and sin

وَالْخَيْرِ

and good

وَالشَّرِّ،

and evil,

so the meaning of this noble verse is that God - Mighty and Majestic - made known to every soul righteousness and sin and good and evil,

وَلَكِنَّ

but

هُنَاكَ

there is

شَبَهاً

a resemblance

بَيْنَ

between

خَلْقِ

the creation of

الصُّورَةِ

the form

الْعِلْمِيَّةِ

of knowledge

لِلْبِرِّ

for righteousness

وَالْإِثْمِ

and sin

وَبَيْنَ

and between

خَلْقِ

the creation of

الْبِرِّ

righteousness

وَالْإِثْمِ

and sin

- إِجْمَالاً

- generally

- فِي

- at

وَقْتِ

the time of

نَفْخِ

blowing

الرُّوحِ،

the spirit,

but there is a resemblance between the creation of the form of knowledge for righteousness and sin and between the creation of righteousness and sin - generally - at the time of blowing the spirit,

فَيُمْكِنُ

so it is possible

عَنْ

through

طَرِيقِ

the way of

الِاعْتِبَارِ

consideration

أَنْ

to

يُسْتَشْهَدَ

seek evidence

بِهَذِهِ

with this

الْآيَةِ

verse

الْكَرِيمَةِ

noble

فِي

in

مَسْأَلَةِ

the issue of

الْقَدَرِ

destiny

أَيْضاً

also

وَاللَّهُ

and God

أَعْلَمُ.

knows best.

so it is possible through the way of consideration to seek evidence with this noble verse in the issue of destiny also and God knows best.
