The tafsir of Surah Fatir verse 39 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Fatir ayat 38 which provides the complete commentary from verse 38 through 39.
64. This can have two meanings:
(1) Now He has settled you on His earth after the passing away of the previous generations and nations.
(2) The powers and authority that He has given to you over different things in the earth are not meant to make you the owners of these things but are meant to enable you to function as the representatives of their real Owner.
65. If the previous sentence is taken to mean that you have been made successors to the previous nations, this sentence would mean this: The one who did not learn any lesson from the fate of the previous nations and adopted the conduct of disbelief due to which those nations have gone to their doom, will himself see the evil end of his folly. And if the sentence is taken to mean this that Allah has delegated to you powers and authority as His vicegerents in the earth, this sentence would mean: He who forgot this position of vicegerency and became independent, or he who adopted service of someone else, apart from his real Master, would see the evil end of his rebellious conduct himself.
