[2400] God Almighty rules Supreme and none can stop Him from bringing His will into reality (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, al-Saʿdī); but most people are oblivious to this. Thus this aya begins with the attention-calling particle a-lā, translated here as ‘nay’ to impart a similar affective force (cf. Riḍā).
