Quran 48:7 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
And to God belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth; and God is ever Mighty in His kingdom Wise in His actions in other words He is ever possessed of such attributes.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
For again, to Allah belong the forces, specific and generic, of the heavens and the earth; and He has always been Azizun (Almighty) and Hakimun (Wise)
Quran 48:7 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Allah sent down the Sakinah into the Hearts of the Believers
Allah the Exalted said,
هُوَ الَّذِى أَنزَلَ السَّكِينَةَ
( He it is Who sent down As-Sakinah ), meaning, tranquility.
Qatadah commented, "Grace into the hearts of the believers", that is, the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, on the Day of Al-Hudaybiyyah.
The companions were they, who accepted the call of Allah and His Messenger and obeyed the decisions of Allah and His Messenger .
When their hearts felt content with acceptance and were at peace, Allah increased their faith, joining it to the faith they already had.
Al-Bukhari, and other Imams, relied on this Ayah as proof that faith increases and decreases in the hearts.
Allah the Exalted said next that had He willed, He would have inflicted defeat on the disbelievers, Allah says;
وَلِلَّهِ جُنُودُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ
( And to Allah belong the armies of the heavens and the earth ) and had He willed to send only one angel to them, that angel would have brought destruction to all what they had.
However, Allah the Exalted willed Jihad and fighting to be established for, and by, the believers for great wisdom, clear reasons and unequivocal evidences that He had in all this.
This is why Allah the Great said next,
وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيماً حَكِيماً
( and Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise. ) Allah the Exalted and Most Honored said,
لِّيُدْخِلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَـتِ جَنَّـتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الاٌّنْهَـرُ خَـلِدِينَ فِيهَا
( That He may admit the believing men and the believing women to Gardens under which rivers flow to abide therein forever, ) We mentioned the Hadith that Anas narrated in which the Companions said, "Congratulations, O Allah's Messenger! This good news is for you, so what good news do we have" Allah the Exalted sent down this Ayah,
لِّيُدْخِلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَـتِ جَنَّـتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الاٌّنْهَـرُ خَـلِدِينَ فِيهَا
( That He may admit the believing men and the believing women to Gardens under which rivers flow to abide therein forever, ) meaning they will remain in Paradise forever,
وَيُكَفِّرَ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَـتِهِمْ
( and He may expiate from them their sins; ) Allah will not punish them for their errors and mistakes.
Rather, He will forgive, absolve and pardon them and cover the errors, grant mercy and appreciate,
وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ عِندَ اللَّهِ فَوْزاً عَظِيماً
( and that is with Allah supreme success. ) Allah the Exalted said in a similar Ayah,
فَمَن زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ
( And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. ) ( 3:185 ) Allah said,
وَيُعَذِّبَ الْمُنَـفِقِينَ وَالْمُنَـفِقَـتِ وَالْمُشْرِكِينَ وَالْمُشْرِكَـتِ الظَّآنِّينَ بِاللَّهِ ظَنَّ السَّوْءِ
( And that He may punish the hypocrites, men and women, and also the idolators, men and women, who think evil thoughts about Allah, ) who question the wisdom in Allah's decisions and think that the Messenger and his Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, might be killed and exterminated.
This is why Allah the Exalted said,
عَلَيْهِمْ دَآئِرَةُ السَّوْءِ وَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَعَنَهُمْ
( for them is a disgraceful torment.
And the anger of Allah is upon them, and He has cursed them ) He has cast them away from His mercy,
وَأَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَهَنَّمَ وَسَآءَتْ مَصِيراً
( and prepared Hell for them -- and worst indeed is that destination. ) Allah the Exalted and Most Honored asserted His ability to take revenge from the enemies of Islam and all disbelievers and hypocrites,
وَلِلَّهِ جُنُودُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَزِيزاً حَكِيماً
( And to Allah belong the armies of the heavens and the earth.
And Allah is Ever All-Powerful, All-Wise. )
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(48:7) To Allah belong the legions of the heavens and the earth. Allah is Most Mighty, Most Wise. *13
And to Allah belong the soldiers of meaning
*13) Here the theme of verse 4 has been reiterated for another object.
There, the object was to state that AIlah instead of employing His supernatural hosts to fight the disbelievers had employed the believers for it only because He willed to favor them.
Here, the theme has been repeated to say that in order to punish the one whom Allah wills to punish He can employ whichever of His countless hosts He likes for the purpose; no one has the power to avert His punishment by his own plans.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( Allah’s are the hosts of the heavens ) the angels ( and the earth ) the believers; He gives help to whomever He will, ( and Allah is ever Mighty ) in retribution against the disbelievers and hypocrites, ( Wise ) in bestowing honour on true believers because of their faith; and it is also said that this means: Allah is ever Mighty in His dominion and sovereignty, Wise in His command, decree and help of His Prophet against his enemies.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And to Allah belong the hosts of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is Ever All-Knower, All-Wise.
