Translation
It is He who created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): the day He saith, "Be," behold! it is. His word is the truth. His will be the dominion the day the trumpet will be blown. He knoweth the unseen as well as that which is open. For He is the Wise, well acquainted (with all things).
Tafsir
He it is Who created the skies and the earth in truth, that is to say, with the purpose of [manifesting] truth. And, mention, the day He says, to a thing, 'Be', and it is - this is the Day of Resurrection, when He says to creatures, 'Rise up', and they do. His words are the truth, the truth that will doubtless come to pass; and His is the Kingdom the day when the trumpet, the horn, is blown, the second blast by [the angel] Israafeel, when there shall be no kingdom for any other than Him: 'Whose is the Kingdom today? God's' [Q. 40:16]. He is the Knower of the Unseen and the visible, what is hidden and what may be seen. He is the Wise, in His creation, the Aware, of things inwardly hidden and outwardly manifest.
The Parable of Those Who Revert to Disbelief After Faith and Good Deeds
As-Suddi said,
Some idolators said to some Muslims, `Follow us and abandon the religion of Muhammad.' Allah sent down the revelation,
قُلۡ أَنَدۡعُو مِن دُونِ اللّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُنَا وَلَا يَضُرُّنَا وَنُرَدُّ عَلَى أَعۡقَابِنَا
Say:Shall we invoke others besides Allah, that can do us neither good nor harm, and shall we turn on our heels...
by reverting to disbelief,
بَعۡدَ إِذۡ هَدَانَا اللّهُ
...after Allah has guided us.
for if we do this, our example will be like he whom the devils have caused to wander in confusion throughout the land.
Allah says here, your example, if you revert to disbelief after you believed, is that of a man who went with some people on a road, but he lost his way and the devils led him to wander in confusion over the land. Meanwhile, his companions on the road were calling him to come to them saying, `Come back to us, for we are on the path.' But, he refused to go back to them. This is the example of he who follows the devil after recognizing Muhammad, and Muhammad is the person who is calling the people to the path, and the path is Islam.
Ibn Jarir recorded this statement.
Allah's statement,
كَالَّذِي اسۡتَهۡوَتۡهُ الشَّيَاطِينُ فِي الَارۡضِ
حَيۡرَانَ
Like one whom the Shayatin (devils) have made to go astray confused (wandering) through the land,
refers to ghouls,
لَهُ أَصۡحَابٌ يَدۡعُونَهُ إِلَى الۡهُدَى ايۡتِنَا
his companions calling him to guidance (saying):`Come to us.'
(calling him) by his name, his father's and his grandfather's names. So he follows the devils' call thinking that it is a path of guidance, but by the morning he will find himself destroyed and perhaps they eat him. The Jinns will then let him wander in a wasteland where he will die of thirst.
This is the example of those who follow the false gods that are being worshipped instead of Allah, Most Honored.
Ibn Jarir also recorded this.
Allah said,
قُلۡ إِنَّ هُدَى اللّهِ هُوَ الۡهُدَىَ
Say:Verily, Allah's guidance is the only guidance,
Allah said in other instances,
وَمَن يَهۡدِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن مُّضِلٍّ
And whomsoever Allah guides, for him there will be none to misguide him. (39:37)
and,
إِن تَحۡرِصۡ عَلَى هُدَاهُمۡ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِى مَن يُضِلُّ وَمَا لَهُمۡ مِّن نَّـصِرِينَ
If you covet for their guidance, then verily Allah guides not those whom He makes to go astray. And they will have no helpers. (17:37)
Allah's statement,
وَأُمِرۡنَا لِنُسۡلِمَ لِرَبِّ الۡعَالَمِينَ
and we have been commanded to submit to the Lord of all that exists.
means, we were commanded to worship Allah in sincerity to Him alone, without partners
وَأَنۡ أَقِيمُواۡ الصَّلةَ وَاتَّقُوهُ
And to perform the Salah, and have Taqwa of Him.
meaning, we were commanded to perform the prayer and to fear Allah in all circumstances,
وَهُوَ الَّذِيَ إِلَيۡهِ تُحۡشَرُونَ
and it is He to Whom you shall be gathered.
on the Day of Resurrection
وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالَارۡضَ بِالۡحَقِّ
It is He Who has created the heavens and the earth in truth.
meaning, in justice, and He is their Originator and Owner Who governs their affairs and the affairs of their inhabitants.
Allah said,
وَيَوۡمَ يَقُولُ كُن فَيَكُونُ
and on the Day He will say:Be! it shall become.
Referring to the Day of Resurrection, which will come faster than the blink of an eye, when Allah says to it, `Be.'
قَوۡلُهُ الۡحَقُّ
His Word is the truth.
As-Sur; The Trumpet
Allah's statement,
وَلَهُ الۡمُلۡكُ يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّوَرِ عَالِمُ الۡغَيۡبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ وَهُوَ الۡحَكِيمُ الۡخَبِيرُ
His will be the dominion on the Day when the Sur will be blown. All-Knower of the unseen and the seen. He is the All-Wise, Well-Aware.
يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّوَرِ
(on the Day when the Sur will be blown...),
refers to His statement,
وَيَوۡمَ يَقُولُ كُن فَيَكُونُ
(and on the Day He will say:Be! it shall become). as we stated above.
Or, it means,
وَلَهُ الۡمُلۡكُ يَوۡمَ يُنفَخُ فِي الصُّوَرِ
(His will be the dominion on the Day when the Sur will be blown).
Allah said in other Ayat,
لِّمَنِ الۡمُلۡكُ الۡيَوۡمَ لِلَّهِ الۡوَحِدِ الۡقَهَّارِ
Whose is the kingdom this Day It is Allah's, the One, the Irresistible! (40:16)
and,
الۡمُلۡكُ يَوۡمَيِذٍ الۡحَقُّ لِلرَّحۡمَـنِ وَكَانَ يَوۡماً عَلَى الۡكَـفِرِينَ عَسِيراً
The sovereignty on that Day will be the true (sovereignty), belonging to the Most Beneficent (Allah), and it will be a hard Day for the disbelievers. (25:26)
The Sur is the Trumpet into which the angel Israfil, peace be upon him, will blow.
The Messenger of Allah said,
إِنَّ إِسۡرَافِيلَ قَدِ الۡتَقَمَ الصُّورَ وَحَنَى جَبۡهَتَهُ يَنۡتَظِرُ مَتَى يُوۡمَر فَيَنۡفُخ
Israfil has held the Sur in his mouth and lowered his forehead, awaiting the command to blow in it.
Muslim recorded this Hadith in his Sahih.
Imam Ahmad recorded that Abdullah bin `Amr said,
A Bedouin man said, `O Allah's Messenger! What is the Sur?'
He said,
قَرۡنٌ يُنۡفَخُ فِيه
A Trumpet which will be blown.
