means, praise be to Allah, Who does not punish anyone except after establishing plea against him, warning him (and leaving him with no excuse).

Allah says;
سَيُرِيكُمْ ايَاتِهِ فَتَعْرِفُونَهَا
(He will show you His Ayat (signs), and you shall recognize them), This is like the Ayah,

سَنُرِيهِمْ ءَايَـتِنَا فِى الاٌّفَاقِ وَفِى أَنفُسِهِمْ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ

We will show them Our signs in the universe, and in themselves, until it becomes manifest to them that this is the truth. (41;53)

وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ



And your Lord is not unaware of what you do.

It was recorded that Imam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy upon him, used to recite the following two lines of verse, whether they were written by him or someone else;

"If you are alone one day, do not say, `I am alone.' Rather say, `Someone is watching me.'

Do not think that Allah will let His attention wander for even an instant, or that anything is hidden from Him."

This is the end of the Tafsir of Surah Al-Naml. All praise and thanks be to Allah.
