Note 3
Since the first audience of this verse was using the lunar calendar, we can find the velocity of the divine ruling in terms of km/day by calculating the sidereal distance covered by the moon in one thousand years. Interestingly, we end up with the speed of light, which is 299792.5 km/s. In other words, the light is 1000 x 12 x 27.321661 faster than the moon. Time is relative. See 22:47; 70:4.

I.e., the Day of Judgment will seem to be endless to those who are judged. In the ancient Arabic idiom, a day that is trying or painful is described as "long", just as a happy day is spoken of as "short" (Maraghi XXI, 105).

The majority of humans ``insist'' upon going to Hell, by choosing to ignore God's invitations to redeem them. God willnot put a single person in Hell. Those who fail to redeem themselves bydenouncing idolatry and devoting themselves to God ALONE, and fail to developtheir souls through the practices prescribed by our Creator, will have torun to Hell on their own volition. They will be too weak to stand the physicalpresence of God's energy.

With this passage the discourse returns to the theme enunciated at the beginning of this surah - namely, the divine origin of the revelation granted to Muhammad, which, as the present passage points out, proceeds from the same source as that granted to Moses (the last of the great apostles of God accepted as such by all the three monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam). Furthermore, the identity of the fundamental truths in all divine revelations, stressed in the above verse, implies an identity of the moral demands made of the followers of those revelations irrespective of period, race or social environment.

This interpolation reflects Zamakhshari's commentary on the above passage, to the effect that the Qur'an is destined to provide guidance and light so long as the community's religious leaders are patient in adversity and steadfast in their faith: an interpretation which implies that the Qur'an will cease to be of benefit to people who have lost their moral virtues and their faith.
