Ibn Abbas Commentary

(Lo! We inherit the earth and all who are thereon,) We possess the earth; it is also said that this means: We cause to die whoever is in the earth and give them life again (and unto Us they are returned) on the Day of Judgement such that I reward them for their deeds: a good deed for a good deed and an evil deed for an evil deed.
