    And His words وَمَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ (And that is not difficult for Allah). He says: and the removal of you and the bringing forth of a creation other than you is not burdensome for Allah; rather, that is easy and effortless for Him. He says: so fear Allah, O people, and obey Him before He does that to you.

    وقوله (وَمَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ) يقول: وما إذهابكم والإتيان بخلق سواكم على الله بشديد، بل ذلك عليه يسير سهل، يقول: فاتقوا الله أيها الناس، وأطيعوه قبل أن يفعل بكم ذلك.
