قرآن حکیم (شرح آیات منتخب)

نزدیک است آسمان‌ها از بالا متلاشی شود

این جمله به دو صورت تفسیر شده است: نخست این‌که با مسئلةٌ وحی که موضوع بحث آیات گذشته بودء در ارتباط است و در حقیقت شبیه مطلبی است که در آَیةٌ ۲۱ سورةٌ حشر آمده است: «اگر این قرآن را بر کوهی نازل می‌کردیم؛ می‌دیدی که در برابر آن خاشع می‌شود و از خوف خدا می‌شکافد.» آری» این کلام خداست که نزولش از آسمان‌ها لرزه بر آنها می‌افکند و نزدیک است آنها را از هم متلاشی کند و اگر بر کوه‌ها نازل می‌شد. از هم می‌شکافت؛ چرا که سخنی عظیم از سوی خداوندی حکیم است. تنهاء این قلب انسان لجوج و خیره‌سر است که در برابر آن نرم و تسلیم نمی‌شود. تفسیر دیگر این که نزدیک است آسمان‌ها به خاطر شرک و بت‌پرستی این مشرکان که پست‌ترین موجودات را هم‌ردیف با مبداً بزرگ عالم هستی قرار می‌دهندء از هم متلاشی گردد (برای آگاهی بیشترء ر.ک. به: توضیح آَیةٌ ۹۰ سورةٌ مریم).
