ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٍ۬

[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],

Tafsir

Everyone will know what He has brought on the Day of Judgement Concerning

Allah's statement,

﴿ عَلِمَتۡ نَفۡسٌ۬ مَّآ أَحۡضَرَتۡ

(Every person will know what he has brought.) This is the conclusive response of the previous statements, meaning at the time these matters occur, every soul will know what it has done, and that will be brought forth for it, as Allah says,

﴿ يَوۡمَ تَجِدُ ڪُلُّ نَفۡسٍ۬ مَّا عَمِلَتۡ مِنۡ خَيۡرٍ۬ مُّحۡضَرً۬ا وَمَا عَمِلَتۡ مِن سُوٓءٍ۬ تَوَدُّ لَوۡ أَنَّ بَيۡنَهَا وَبَيۡنَهُ ۥۤ أَمَدَۢا بَعِيدً۬ا‌ۗ

(On the Day when every person will be confronted with all the good he has done, and all the evil he has done, he will wish that there were a great distance between him and his evil.) (3:30) Allah also says,

﴿ يُنَبَّؤُاْ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنُ يَوۡمَٮِٕذِۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ

(On that Day man will be informed of what he sent forward, and what he left behind.) (75:13)

﴿ فَلَآ أُقۡسِمُ بِٱلۡخُنَّسِ ٱلۡجَوَارِ ٱلۡكُنَّسِ وَٱلَّيۡلِ إِذَا عَسۡعَسَ وَٱلصُّبۡحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ إِنَّهُ ۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولٍ۬ كَرِيمٍ۬ ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلۡعَرۡشِ مَكِينٍ۬ مُّطَاعٍ۬ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ۬ وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجۡنُونٍ۬ وَلَقَدۡ رَءَاهُ بِٱلۡأُفُقِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلۡغَيۡبِ بِضَنِينٍ۬ وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَيۡطَـٰنٍ۬ رَّجِيمٍ۬ فَأَيۡنَ تَذۡهَبُونَ إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ۬ لِّلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمۡ أَن يَسۡتَقِيمَ وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ
