Interpretation of Surah Ibrahim Journal Article

Machine summary:

Allah the Glorified introduces His heavenly laws as a bright light and a straight path that He has legislated through His power of perfection; He then calls the heavens, the earth, and their contents His own property so that the people of the world may know that He alone, who created man and the world and is aware of their characteristics and details, possesses the right to legislate; and that the limited and short-sighted thoughts of man, in the face of God's law, yield nothing but darkness and entanglement. In the following verse, this same precise and firm system of the world is presented as the reason for the content of the previous verse, as if saying: "Since the creation of the earth, heavens, humans, and beings is established on the foundation of truth and order and sequence are observed in all of them, everyone must receive the wage and reward of their own action from the one for whom it was performed and reach the goal and purpose they were pursuing, not from somewhere else and a different reward. 3. At the end of the verses, Abraham presents himself like a kind and polite father, saying: O God: whoever among my children follows my way in abandoning idolatry and performing prayer is my child, and whoever disobeys me—which is indeed disobedience to You—I neither accept him because he has disobeyed You, nor do I reject him, because he is my child and Your servant; rather, I call upon Your forgiveness and mercy as an intercessor and mediator for this matter.
