129. " and to allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the
earth. he will forgive whom he wills, and will punish whom he wills;
and allah is forgiving, merciful."

commentary:
this verse, is an emphasis on the meaning of the previous verse,
saying that the punishments and torments are upto allah, because the
creation and sovereignty of all existence is in his control.

" and to allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is
in the earth. ... "

it is interesting that the persons who are involved with the wrath of
allah or those who receive the mercy of allah are not defined in the
verse. this case may be for the sake that everybody remains between fear
and hope, and neither pride nor despair falls upon them.

"... he will forgive whom he wills, and will punish whom he wills,..."

it is clear, of course, that forgiveness and punishment depend on
both the wisdom ofallah and the bases that the person produces in
oneself and in the society.

"... and allah is forgiving, merciful. "
