Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 44:39

Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.

وأنه ما خلقهما إلا بالحق أي: نفس خلقهما بالحق وخلقهما مشتمل على الحق، وأنه أوجدهما ليعبدوه وحده لا شريك له وليأمر العباد وينهاهم ويثيبهم ويعاقبهم. { وَلَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ } فلذلك لم يتفكروا في خلق السماوات والأرض.
