Translation
(They must be raised up), in order that He may manifest to them the truth of that wherein they differ, and that the rejecters of Truth may realise that they had indeed (surrendered to) Falsehood.
Tafsir
That He may make clear to them (li-yubayyina is semantically connected to an implied yab'athuhum, 'He will resurrect them') what they differ, with believers, in, of matters of religion, by punishing them and rewarding the believers, and that the disbelievers may know that they were liars, when they denied the Resurrection.
"The Resurrection after Death is true, there is Wisdom behind it, and it is easy for Allah
Allah says:
وَأَقۡسَمُواۡ بِاللّهِ جَهۡدَ أَيۡمَانِهِمۡ لَا يَبۡعَثُ اللّهُ مَن يَمُوتُ
And they swear by Allah with their strongest oaths, that Allah will not raise up one who dies.
meaning that they made oaths swore fervently that Allah would not resurrect the one who died. They considered that to be improbable, and did not believe the Messengers when they told them about that, swearing that it could not happen.
Allah said, refuting them:
بَلَى
Yes,
meaning it will indeed happen,
وَعۡدًا عَلَيۡهِ حَقًّا
a promise (binding) upon Him in truth,
- meaning it is inevitable,
وَلـكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ
but most of mankind know not.
means, because of their ignorance they oppose the Messengers and fall into disbelief.
Then Allah mentions His wisdom and the reason why He will resurrect mankind physically on the Day of Calling (between the people of Fire and of Paradise).
He says
لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ
In order that He may make clear to them,
means, to mankind,
الَّذِي يَخۡتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ
what they differed over,
means, every dispute.
لِيَجۡزِىَ الَّذِينَ أَسَاءُواۡ بِمَا عَمِلُواۡ وَيِجۡزِى الَّذِينَ أَحۡسَنُواۡ بِالۡحُسۡنَى
that He may requite those who do evil with that which they have done (i.e. punish them in Hell), and reward those who do good, with what is best (i.e. Paradise). (53:31)
وَلِيَعۡلَمَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواۡ أَنَّهُمۡ كَانُواۡ كَاذِبِينَ
and so that those who disbelieved may know that they were liars.
meaning that they lied in their oaths and their swearing that Allah would not resurrect those who die. Thus they will be pushed down by force to the Fire with horrible force on the Day of Resurrection, and the guards of Hell will say to them:
هَـذِهِ النَّارُ الَّتِى كُنتُم بِهَا تُكَذِّبُونَ
أَفَسِحۡرٌ هَـذَا أَمۡ أَنتُمۡ لَا تُبۡصِرُونَ
اصۡلَوۡهَا فَاصۡبِرُواۡ أَوۡ لَا تَصۡبِرُواۡ سَوَاءٌ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِنَّمَا تُجۡزَوۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ
This is the Fire which you used to belie. Is this magic or do you not see Taste its heat, and whether you are tolerant of it or intolerant of it - it is all the same. You are only being requited for what you have done. (52:14-16)
Then Allah tells us about His ability to do whatever He wills, and that nothing is impossible for Him on earth or in heaven. When He wants a thing, all He has to do is say to it ""Be!"" and it is.
The Resurrection is one such thing, when He wants it to happen, all He will have to do is issue the command once, and it will happen as He wills, as He says:
وَمَأ أَمۡرُنَأ إِلاَّ وَحِدَةٌ كَلَمۡحٍ بِالۡبَصَرِ
And Our commandment is but one as the twinkling of an eye. (54:50)
and,
مَّا خَلۡقُكُمۡ وَلَا بَعۡثُكُمۡ إِلاَّ كَنَفۡسٍ وَحِدَةٍ
The creation of you all and the resurrection of you all are only as (the creation and resurrection of) a single person. (31:28)
And in this Ayah, Allah says:
إِنَّمَا قَوۡلُنَا لِشَيۡءٍ إِذَا أَرَدۡنَاهُ أَن نَّقُولَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ
Verily, Our Word to a thing when We intend it, is only that We say to it:""Be!"" - and it is.
meaning, We issue the command once, and then it happens.
Allah does not need to repeat or confirm whatever He commands, because there is nothing that can stop Him or oppose Him. He is the One, the Compelling, the Almighty, whose power, might and dominion have subjected all things. None has the right to be worshipped except Him, and there is no Lord other than Him."
