Commentary
The entire earth, all the heavens and all the creatures will be on the Fingers of Allāh, His Fingers are as They suit to the Self of the Almighty. As it is impossible to know the reality and the condition of Allāh's Self, similarly, the reality and the condition of His Fingers is beyond our knowledge and comprehension.
