Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Idolators have no ExcuseAllah states that He has left no excuse for the idolators, for He has sent to them the Book that the Messenger came with, and which is explained in detail, كِتَابٌ أُحْكِمَتْ ءايَـتُهُ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ((This is) a Book, the Ayat whereof are perfected (in every sphere of knowledge), and then explained in detail ) 11:1 Allah said next, فَصَّلْنَـهُ عَلَى عِلْمٍ(We have explained in detail with knowledge) meaning, `We have perfect knowledge of what We explained in it'.
