... the term shaytan - which is derived from the word shatana, "he was [or became] remote [from all that is good and true]" - is often used in the Quran to describe the "satanic" (i.e., exceedingly evil) propensities in man's own soul, and especially all impulses which run counter to truth and morality. (Rāghib)

"The expression "God has willed upon Himself as law" occurs in the Quran only twice - here and in verse 54 of this surah - and in both instances with reference to His grace and mercy (rahmah); none of the other divine attributes has been similarly described."

... root verb of the participial noun kafir is kafara, "he covered [a thing]": Thus in 57:20 the tiller of the soil (w/out any pejorative implication) is called kafir, "one who covers" i.e., the down seed with earth, just as both the verb and the nouns derived from it have a connotation of "concealing" something that exists or "denying" something that is true.
