رَفِيعُ ٱلدَّرَجَـٰتِ ذُو ٱلْعَرْشِ يُلْقِى ٱلرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِۦ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ لِيُنذِرَ يَوْمَ ٱلتَّلَاقِ ١٥

[He is] the Exalted above [all] degrees, Owner of the Throne; He places the inspiration of His command upon whom He wills of His servants to warn of the Day of Meeting.

Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

Allah sends the Revelation to warn His Servants of the Day of Mutual Meeting Allah tells us of His might and pride, and that His Mighty Throne is raised aboveرَفِيعُ الدَّرَجَاتِ ذُو الْعَرْشِ(He is Allah) Owner of high ranks and degrees, the Owner of the Throne.Allah tells us of His might and pride, and that His Mighty Throne is raised above all of His creation like a roof.This is like the Ayah:مِّنَ اللَّهِ ذِي الْمَعَارِجِتَعْرُجُ الْمَلَـيِكَةُ وَالرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِى يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍFrom Allah, the Lord of the ways of ascent. The angels and the Ruh (Jibril) ascend to Him in a Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years. (70:3-4) If Allah wills, we will discuss below which is the most correct view the distance between the Throne and the seventh earth according to a group of earlier and later scholars. More than one scholar said that the Throne is made of red rubies. The width between two corners of it is the distance of a fifty thousand year long journey and its height above the seventh earth is the distance of a fifty thousand years long journey.يُلْقِي الرُّوحَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَى مَن يَشَاء مِنْ عِبَادِهِHe sends the revelation of His command to any of His servants He wills,This is like the Ayat:يُنَزِّلُ الْمَلَـيِكَةَ بِالْرُّوحِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلَى مَن يَشَأءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ أَنْ أَنْذِرُواْ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَـهَ إِلَا أَنَاْ فَاتَّقُونِHe sends down the angels with the Ruh (revelation) of His command to whom of His servants He wills (saying):"Warn mankind that none has the right to be worshipped but I, so have Taqwa of Me." (16:2)and,وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَـلَمِينَنَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الاٌّمِينُعَلَى قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُنْذِرِينَAnd truly, this is a revelation from the Lord of all that exits, Which the trustworthy Ruh (Jibril) has brought down Upon your heart that you may be (one) of the warners. (26:192-194)Allah says:لِيُنذِرَ يَوْمَ التَّلَقِthat he may warn (men) of the Day of Mutual Meeting.Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn Abbas said:"The Day of Mutual Meeting is one of the names of the Day of Resurrection, of which Allah warns His servants."That is the Day when everyone will find out about his deeds, good and bad
