سُورَةُ الرَّعۡدِ

Reading Al-Muyassar fi Gharib al-Qur'an

Ayahs 31–40 of 43

31

وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْءَانًۭا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ ٱلْجِبَالُ أَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۗ بَل لِّلَّهِ ٱلْأَمْرُ جَمِيعًا ۗ أَفَلَمْ يَا۟يْـَٔسِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ لَهَدَى ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِيعًۭا ۗ وَلَا يَزَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ تُصِيبُهُم بِمَا صَنَعُوا۟ قَارِعَةٌ أَوْ تَحُلُّ قَرِيبًۭا مِّن دَارِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِىَ وَعْدُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ ٱلْمِيعَادَ

And if there was any qur'an by which the mountains would be removed or the earth would be broken apart or the dead would be made to speak, [it would be this Qur'an], but to Allah belongs the affair entirely. Then have those who believed not accepted that had Allah willed, He would have guided the people, all of them? And those who disbelieve do not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity - or it will descend near their home - until there comes the promise of Allah. Indeed, Allah does not fail in [His] promise.

﴿سُيِّرَتۡ بِهِ ٱلۡجِبَالُ﴾: نُقِلَتْ عن أماكنِها.

﴿قُطِّعَتۡ بِهِ ٱلۡأَرۡضُ﴾: شُقِّقَتْ به، فتَصِيرُ عيونًا وأنهارًا.

﴿كُلِّمَ بِهِ ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ﴾: بأَنْ تُحْيا، ويُقْرَأَ عليهم فَيفْهَمُوه كالأحياءِ.

﴿أَفَلَمۡ يَاْيۡـَٔسِ﴾: أفلم يَعْلَمْ ويتبيَّنْ.

﴿قَارِعَةٌ﴾: مصيبةٌ تَنْزِلُ بهم وتُهْلِكُهُم.

﴿وَعۡدُ ٱللَّهِ﴾: النصرُ عليهم، أو قيامُ الساعةِ.

32

وَلَقَدِ ٱسْتُهْزِئَ بِرُسُلٍۢ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَأَمْلَيْتُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ

And already were [other] messengers ridiculed before you, and I extended the time of those who disbelieved; then I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.

﴿فَأَمۡلَيۡتُ﴾: أمْهَلْتُ مدةً طويلةً.

33

أَفَمَنْ هُوَ قَآئِمٌ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ ۗ وَجَعَلُوا۟ لِلَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ قُلْ سَمُّوهُمْ ۚ أَمْ تُنَبِّـُٔونَهُۥ بِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَم بِظَٰهِرٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ ۗ بَلْ زُيِّنَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مَكْرُهُمْ وَصُدُّوا۟ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِنْ هَادٍۢ

Then is He who is a maintainer of every soul, [knowing] what it has earned, [like any other]? But to Allah they have attributed partners. Say, "Name them. Or do you inform Him of that which He knows not upon the earth or of what is apparent of speech?" Rather, their [own] plan has been made attractive to those who disbelieve, and they have been averted from the way. And whomever Allah leaves astray - there will be for him no guide.

﴿قَآئِمٌ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ نَفۡسِۭ﴾: رقيبٌ وحافظٌ عليها، وهو اللهُ.

﴿قُلۡ سَمُّوهُمۡ﴾: اذكُروا أسماءَ الشُّركاءِ وصِفاتِهم.

﴿أَم بِظَـٰهِرࣲ مِّنَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ﴾: بل أتُسَمُّونهم شركاءَ بقولٍ باطِلٍ لا حقيقةَ له.

﴿زُيِّنَ﴾: حَسَّنَ الشَّيطانُ.

﴿مَكۡرُهُمۡ﴾: كفْرُهم وقولُهم الباطِلَ.

﴿هَادࣲ﴾: أحدٍ يُوَفِّقُه إلى الخيرِ.

34

لَّهُمْ عَذَابٌۭ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ أَشَقُّ ۖ وَمَا لَهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَاقٍۢ

For them will be punishment in the life of [this] world, and the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe. And they will not have from Allah any protector.

﴿لَّهُمۡ عَذَابࣱ فِي ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا﴾: بالقَتْلِ والأسْرِ وغيرِهما.

﴿وَاقࣲ﴾: مانعٍ وعاصمٍ.

35

۞ مَّثَلُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِى وُعِدَ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ ۖ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ ۖ أُكُلُهَا دَآئِمٌۭ وَظِلُّهَا ۚ تِلْكَ عُقْبَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوا۟ ۖ وَّعُقْبَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ ٱلنَّارُ

The example of Paradise, which the righteous have been promised, is [that] beneath it rivers flow. Its fruit is lasting, and its shade. That is the consequence for the righteous, and the consequence for the disbelievers is the Fire.

﴿أُكُلُهَا دَآئِمࣱ﴾: ثَمَرُها لا انقطاعَ لأنواعِه.

﴿وَظِلُّهَا﴾: دائمٌ لا يزولُ.

36

وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَمِنَ ٱلْأَحْزَابِ مَن يُنكِرُ بَعْضَهُۥ ۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ ٱللَّهَ وَلَآ أُشْرِكَ بِهِۦٓ ۚ إِلَيْهِ أَدْعُوا۟ وَإِلَيْهِ مَـَٔابِ

And [the believers among] those to whom We have given the [previous] Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], but among the [opposing] factions are those who deny part of it. Say, "I have only been commanded to worship Allah and not associate [anything] with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return."

﴿ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ﴾: التوراةَ والإنجيلَ.

﴿وَمِنَ ٱلۡأَحۡزَابِ﴾: مَن تَحزَّبَ على الكفرِ من اليهودِ والنصارى.

﴿وَإِلَيۡهِ مَـَٔابِ﴾: مَرْجِعي إلى اللهِ وحدَه.

37

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ حُكْمًا عَرَبِيًّۭا ۚ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم بَعْدَمَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ مَا لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّۢ وَلَا وَاقٍۢ

And thus We have revealed it as an Arabic legislation. And if you should follow their inclinations after what has come to you of knowledge, you would not have against Allah any ally or any protector.

﴿وَكَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ أَنزَلۡنَـٰهُ حُكۡمًا عَرَبِيࣰّا﴾: وكما أنزَلْنا الكتبَ على الأنبياءِ بلسانِهم، أنزَلْنا القرآنَ بلغةِ العربِ؛ لتَحْكُمَ به.

﴿وَلِيࣲّ﴾: ناصرٍ يَليِ أمْرَك، ويَدْفَعُ عنك.

38

وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًۭا مِّن قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَٰجًۭا وَذُرِّيَّةًۭ ۚ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِىَ بِـَٔايَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍۢ كِتَابٌۭ

And We have already sent messengers before you and assigned to them wives and descendants. And it was not for a messenger to come with a sign except by permission of Allah. For every term is a decree.

﴿بِـَٔايَةٍ﴾: مُعْجِزَةٍ دالَّةٍ على صِدْقِه.

﴿لِكُلِّ أَجَلࣲ كِتَابࣱ﴾: لكلِّ أمرٍ قضاه اللهُ كتابٌ وأجَلٌ كَتَبَه عنده، أو لكلِّ وقتٍ حُكْمٌ معيَّن يُكتَبُ على العباد.

39

يَمْحُوا۟ ٱللَّهُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيُثْبِتُ ۖ وَعِندَهُۥٓ أُمُّ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ

Allah eliminates what He wills or confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book.

﴿وَيُثۡبِتُ﴾: يُبْقي ما يشاءُ من الأحكامِ وغيرِها وفْقَ حِكْمَتِه.

﴿أُمُّ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ﴾: أصلُه، وهو اللَّوحُ المحفوظُ الذي لا يَتغيَّرُ.

40

وَإِن مَّا نُرِيَنَّكَ بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى نَعِدُهُمْ أَوْ نَتَوَفَّيَنَّكَ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْبَلَٰغُ وَعَلَيْنَا ٱلْحِسَابُ

And whether We show you part of what We promise them or take you in death, upon you is only the [duty of] notification, and upon Us is the account.
