➋ Gathering it to Us means to make it disappear and annihilate it, because everything returns only to Allah; everything comes from Him and goes back to Him. Thus, it is said: «{ وَ لِلّٰهِ غَيْبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ وَ اِلَيْهِ يُرْجَعُ الْاَمْرُ كُلُّهٗ }» [ ھود : ۱۲۳ ] "And to Allah belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth, and all matters are returned to Him."
➌ {قَبْضًا يَّسِيْرًا :} That is, so gradually that it is extremely difficult to fully perceive its gathering.

[58] Allah Almighty gathers the shadows from their spreading, and even then, He gathers them gradually and slowly. The complete gathering of the shadows occurs exactly at midday or when the sun is overhead, when a right angle is formed. After that, the shadows gradually and slowly begin to increase again. There are many benefits hidden in this gradualness, and in the world, whatever change occurs, the law of gradualness operates in it. If this law of gradualness did not exist, life would become difficult for every living being. For example, if as soon as the sun rose, there was as much intense heat as there is at noon, and this heat remained just as intense until sunset, and then suddenly, upon sunset, it became cold all at once, then this too could prove very harmful for every living being.
