Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 16:40

Open in Qurani

Verily, Our Word to a thing when We intend it, is only that We say to it: "Be!'' - and it is. meaning, We issue the command once, and then it happens. Allah does not need to repeat or confirm whatever He commands, because there is nothing that can stop Him or oppose Him. He is the One, the Compelling, the Almighty, whose power, might and dominion have subjected all things. None has the right to be worshipped except Him, and there is no Lord other than Him
