[All] praise is [due] to Allah , to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and to Him belongs [all] praise in the Hereafter. And He is the Wise, the Acquainted.
Tafseer
{الحمد لله} حمد تعالى نفسه بذلك، والمراد به الثناء بمضمونه من ثبوت الحمد وهو الوصف بالجميل لله تعالى {الذي له ما في السماوات وما في الأرض} ملكا وخلقا {وله الحمد في الآخرة} كالدنيا يحمده أولياؤه إذا دخلوا الجنة {وهو الحكيم} في فعله {الخبير} في خلقه.
{Praise be to God} God Almighty praised Himself for that, and what is meant by it is praise in its meaning of affirming praise, which is describing God Almighty with beauty {To whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth} in dominion and creation {and to Him is praise in the Hereafter} like this world, His friends praise Him when they enter Paradise {and He is the Wise} in His actions {the Acquainted} with His creation.
