* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لآتَيْنَا كُلَّ نَفْسٍ هُدَاهَا وَلَـٰكِنْ حَقَّ ٱلْقَوْلُ مِنِّي لأَمْلأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ }

(And if We had so willed, We could have given every soul its guidance) its God-fearingness, (but the word from Me concerning evil-doers took effect) My word decreed (that I will fill hell with the jinn and mankind together) with the disbelievers among the jinn and mankind. Had it not been for this, I would have honoured every single soul with knowledge and the confession of Allah's divine Oneness.
