56-1. Just as these scholars used to explain in the world as well.
56-2. By کِتَا بِ اللّٰہِ is meant Allah's knowledge and His decree, that is, the Preserved Tablet (al-Lawh al-Mahfuz).
56-3. That is, from the time of birth until the Day of Resurrection.
56-4. That it will come, rather you used to demand it as a mockery and denial.
