Surah Ta Ha : Continued (Part 2)
Chapter 20:1-8

"We have not sent down the Quran to thee to be (an occasion)for thy distress, but only as an admonition to those who fear (ALLAH)- a revelation from Him Who created the earth and the heavens on high.(ALLAH)Most Gracious is firmly established on the throne (of authority)"
[Surah 20:2-5]

ALLAH's revelation may cause some human trouble for two reasons:(1) it checks man's selfishness and narrowness of view, and (2) it annoys the wicked and causes them to jeer and persecute. These are mere incidental things, due to man's own shortcomings. As far as the trouble is concerned, the revelation is meant to give a warning, so that persecutors may be reclaimed, (and of course for men of faith it is comfort and consolation, though that point does not arise in this context).
If things seem to be wrong in our imperfect vision on this earth, we must remember that ALLAH (Subhana Wa Ta'la), Who encompasses all Creation and sits on the throne of Grace and Mercy, is in command, and our Faith tells us that all must be right. Allah's authority is not like an authority on earth, which may be questioned, or which may not last. His authority is "firmly established". See also 10:3

"Verily your Lord is ALLAH, Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days, then He established Himself on the Throne (of authority), regulating and governing all things. No intercessor (can plead with Him)except after His leave (hath been obtained). This is ALLAH your Lord; Him therefore serve ye: will yet not receive admonition? "
[Surah Yunus 10:3]

"His design comprehended the heavens." to emphasize the fact that the heavens were not eternal or co-eternal with Him, but were and part of His design, and in a sense, as they appear to man subjectively, a complement to the creation of man's Earth. As here and in 7:54 and elsewhere, the meaning seems to be"to mount or ascend" and to be firmly established, to sit firm and unshaken, beyond question. The Throne of authority represents many ideas: e.g.,
(1) that ALLAH is high above all His Creation;
(2) that He regulates and governs it, as king does, whose authority is unquestionably recognized;
(3)that He is not, therefore, like the gods of Greece and Paganism, who were imagined to be in a world apart, careless of mankind, but on the contrary, He
(4) disposes of their affairs and all affairs continuously and with justice;
(5) that the authority of His prophets, ministers and messengers is derived from Him and such intercession as they can make is by His will and permission.

"Your Guardian-Lord is ALLAH. Who created the heavens and earth in six Days, then He established Himself on the Throne (of authority): He draweth the night as a veil o'er the day, each seeking the other in rapid succession: He created the sun, the moon and the stars, (all)governed by laws under His Command. It is not His to create and to govern? Blessed be ALLAH, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds! "
[Surah Al Araf 7:54]

"It is He Who hath created for you all things that are on earth; then He turned to the heaven and made them into seven firmaments. And of all things He hath perfect knowledge. "
[Surah Al Baqarah 2:29]

"His people disputed with him. He said:"(Come)ye to dispute with me, about ALLAH, when He (Himself) hath guided me? I fear not (the beings) ye associate with ALLAH: unless my Lord willeth, (Nothing can happen). My Lord comprehendeth in His knowledge all things. Will ye not (yourselves)be admonished? "
[Surah Al Anam 6:80]
