Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Allah's Knowledge, Power and Kingdom are LimitlessAllah the Exalted states that He created the heavens and earth, and all that is between them, in six Days and then rose over the Throne after He created them. We discussed this before in the explanation of Surat Al-A`raf, so it is not necessary to repeat the meaning here.
