* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ إِنِّي تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رَبِّي وَرَبِّكُمْ مَّا مِن دَآبَّةٍ إِلاَّ هُوَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَآ إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ }

Truly I have put my trust in God my Lord and your Lord; there is no mā min min is extra creature no living thing that treads upon this earth but He takes it by the forelock that is but He is its possessor and subjugator so that no benefit or harm occurs except by His permission — the forelock is specifically used here because he who is taken by his forelock suffers the ultimate humiliation. Surely my Lord is on a straight path that is on the way of truth and justice.
