الحال.

فهذا الجزاء يسمى ملك الآلاء، وهو أعظم الملك. وهو قوله -تعالى-: ﴿وجوه يومئذ ناضرة إلى ربها ناظرة﴾ [القيامة: ٢٢، ٢٣] أي نعم ربها: جمع آلاء. و﴿إلى ربها﴾ المضافة إليه هنا الذي يستحقها لو قبل الجزاء الذي هذه صفته، فتكون تلك جزاء هٰؤلاء. وهذا من باب ما طلب الله من عباده فقال:

﴿اذكروني﴾ [البقرة: ١٥٢] و﴿اعبدوني﴾ [يس: ٦١] ﴿وأطيعون﴾ [آل عمران: ٥٠] ﴿واشكروا لي ولا تكفرون﴾ [البقرة: ١٥٢] وهذا كله جزاء من العبد في مقابلة ما أنعم الله عليه به من الوجود خاصة، فكيف إذا انضاف إلى ذٰلك ما خلق من أجله من النعم المعنوية والحسية، قال -تعالى-: ﴿وما خلقت الجن والإنس إلا ليعبدون﴾ [الذاريات: ٥٦] فعلل: فيعبدوه لكونه أنعم عليهم بالإيجاد لكمال مرتبة العلم والوجود، من حيث من ذكر من الأجناس. فاعلم ذٰلك. لا لكمال مرتبة الوجود والمعرفة من غير هٰذا التقييد؛ فإن ذٰلك يكفي فيه خلق محدث واحد، وإيجاد العلم المحدث فيه المتعلق بالله والكون. ولكن لما كانت الأجناس منحصرة عند الله، وأوجدها كلها، وبقي هذان الجنسان؛ أوقع الإخبار عنهما بما ذكر، فشرحناه بما تعطيه الحال المقصودة لخالقهما -تعالى- بهما.

state receive.

This recompense is called the dominion of bounties, and it is the greatest dominion. This is His saying, exalted is He: “Faces that day are radiant, looking toward their Lord” [75:22–23]—that is, the blessings of their Lord—[ilā has] the plural ālāʾ. The “ilā of their Lord” attributed to Him here is that which He would deserve, were He to accept recompense of this description. Those things therefore become the recompense of these people. This belongs to the same subject as what God asks of His servants, saying:

“Remember Me” [2:152], “Worship Me” [36:61], “Obey Me” [3:50], and “Give thanks to Me and do not deny Me” [2:152]. All this is recompense from the servant in return for God's blessing him with existence alone. How much more when there is added to this what He created for his sake of inward and sensory blessings! He, exalted is He, says: “I created jinn and humankind only that they should worship Me” [51:56]. He thus gives a reason: they worship Him because He has blessed them by bringing them into existence, for the completeness of the rank of knowledge and existence in respect of the kinds mentioned. Know this. It is not for the completeness of the rank of existence and knowledge without this qualification, for that would be sufficiently attained by creating one originated thing and bringing into existence within it originated knowledge concerning God and created being. But since the kinds are delimited with God, and He brought them all into existence while these two kinds remained, He communicated concerning them what He mentioned. We have explained it according to what their Creator, exalted is He, intends in creating them, as the situation gives.
