And they do not esteem God as He should be esteemed they do not understand His true nature or it means that they do not exalt Him with the exaltation truly worthy of Him when they associate others with Him. And the entire earth jamī‘an is a circumstantial qualifier in other words the seven earths will be in His grasp in other words it shall be grasped by Him meaning that it will be in His possession and at His disposal on the Day of Resurrection and the heavens will be rolled up brought together in His Right Hand by His power. Glory be to Him! And exalted be He above what they associate! with Him of partners.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed) they do not magnify Allah as He should be magnified when they say: �Allah's Hands are tight�, �Allah is poor and is requesting a loan from us�, the latter being what the Jew Malik Ibn al-Sayf, may Allah forsake him, said, (when the whole earth is His handful) when the whole earth is in His possession (on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens are rolled in His right hand) and the heavens are rolled by His power on the Day of Resurrection. Knowing that both Hands of Allah, Exalted is He, are right. (Glorified is He) Allah exonerated Himself from the claim of the Jews (and High Exalted) He is free and far elevated (from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him)) of partners.
