Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 16:19
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic. This commentary explains ayahs 16:19-20 together.
تفسير الآيتين 19 و20 :ـ وكما أن رحمته واسعة وجوده عميم ومغفرته شاملة للعباد فعلمه محيط بهم، { يَعْلَمُ مَا تُسِرُّونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ } بخلاف من عبد من دونه، فإنهم { لَا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئًا } قليلا ولا كثيرا { وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ } فكيف يخلقون شيئا مع افتقارهم في إيجادهم إلى الله تعالى؟\"
