On the verse: See they not know how We visit the land, reducing it of its outlying parts, commentators, focusing on the word land, have presented different views; land of unbelievers in Mecca, land of all unbelievers, all habitants of the earth, the earth and all those living on it are the meanings viewed by commentators. Again, for the reducing of land`s outlying parts, the meanings of the Prophet and his friends` conquest of Mecca`s outer parts, Muslims` conquest of unbelievers` land, death of religious scholars and the best habitants of the earth, destruction of the lands` gifts, geometrical form of the earth, reduction of human body during old ages, stopping speeches on right during some periods of time, reduction of vices of one`s inner land, death of pagans and cruels, reduction of unlawful wealth of those opposing right. It is, therefore, necessary to comment the verse on a more agreeable base. The paper has taken the Quranic phrase to mean threatening unbelievers and giving glad tiding to believers. The meaning may agree with death of religious scholars and the best habitants of land as a hermeneutic meaning
