the"creationoftheheavensandtheearth."ThisverserepudiatesthetheoryofdualityofoldPersiantheology,preachedbytheMagians,that

lightanddarknessareeternal.TheyarebothcreaturesoftheLordoftheworlds.Adala,here,meansto hold something as equal to something else.As the ultimate cause of every created thing, in theuniverse, is Allah, no reasonable person, except a disbeliever, can set up any of His creatures asequal,particularlywhenHecherishesandlovesHiscreatures.ToconfoundtheeternalbeingofthetrueGodwith false ideas and superstitions is shirk (polytheism),whichmust be punished.He hascreated light and darkness to helpman to distinguish the true from the false. He alone should bepraisedandglorified.

4} نیضرعم اهنع اوناك الإ مهبر تایآ نم ةیآ نم مهیتأت امو }[Pooya/AliCommentary6:4]Ayat (signs) means revelations, communications and the messengers of Allah and the divinely

appointedsuccessorsoftheHolyProphet(theholyImamsamonghisAhlulBayt),whoputforwardconclusiveargumentstoestablishthetruthofAllah'smessage,buttherejectorsoffaithturnedawayfrom it, and, at last, they learned the reality of what they used to mock at. The shortsighted andarrogant pagans (who supposed that they were firmly established on this earth, secure in theirprivileges) were reminded ofmuch greater nations in the past, who failed in their duty andwerewipedout.

If a book,written on paper,was sent to theHoly Prophet the paganswould have said (in sheerpugnacity)thatitwasobviousmagic,andtheywerenothelpedatallinattainingfaith,becausetheirheartswerediseased.AsimilardemandwasmadebytheJews(seeNisa:153).
