    168. This means I have given you information about the battle long before it and did not attack you all of a sudden so that like us, you too can prepare for it. Or I preached to all of you in the same manner. Thus in this verse there is a refutation of the false sects. 

     

    169. This means without Divine revelation 

    1 . do not, just, understand whether the punishment of Allah Almighty is far or near from mere conjecture and analogy. Thus these verses "And the true promise drew near" (S21 V97) and "The accountability of the people is near" (S21 VI), are not contrary to the above verse. The Holy Prophet knew that the Day of Judgement is near He himself had said "Qiyamat and I are jomed like the first and second fingers" (after the thumb)
