* Note 079:026. The Tafsir [= Interpretation by] Al-Tibri interpreted the two words in this verse الۡاٰخِرَةِ وَالۡاُوۡلٰى very narrowly and maintained that they meant the Last Transgression of Pharaoh (“I am your Lord, the Supreme” – 079:025) and the First Transgression of Pharaoh (“I do not know that you have any God other than me” – 028:039). That Interpretation did not translate these two words broadly as stated above, e.g., ‘The Time or People coming later in the future’ or ‘The Time or People already gone by in the past.’
