سُورَةُ النَّحۡلِ
Reading Al-Muyassar fi Gharib al-Qur'an
Ayahs 111–120 of 128
۞ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ تُجَٰدِلُ عَن نَّفْسِهَا وَتُوَفَّىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۢ مَّا عَمِلَتْ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
On the Day when every soul will come disputing for itself, and every soul will be fully compensated for what it did, and they will not be wronged.
﴿تُجَـٰدِلُ عَن نَّفۡسِهَا﴾: تُخاصِمُ عن ذاتِها، وتسعى في خَلاصِها.
﴿وَتُوَفَّىٰ﴾: تُعْطى وافيًا كامِلًا.
وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًۭا قَرْيَةًۭ كَانَتْ ءَامِنَةًۭ مُّطْمَئِنَّةًۭ يَأْتِيهَا رِزْقُهَا رَغَدًۭا مِّن كُلِّ مَكَانٍۢ فَكَفَرَتْ بِأَنْعُمِ ٱللَّهِ فَأَذَٰقَهَا ٱللَّهُ لِبَاسَ ٱلْجُوعِ وَٱلْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَصْنَعُونَ
And Allah presents an example: a city which was safe and secure, its provision coming to it in abundance from every location, but it denied the favors of Allah. So Allah made it taste the envelopment of hunger and fear for what they had been doing.
﴿قَرۡيَةࣰ﴾: أي: مكةَ.
﴿رَغَدࣰا﴾: واسعًا كثيرًا، أو هنيئًا سهلًا.
﴿لِبَاسَ ٱلۡجُوعِ وَٱلۡخَوۡفِ﴾: ما غَشِيَها من صُنوفِ البَلاءِ وإحاطَتِه بها كاللِّباس.
وَلَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ وَهُمْ ظَٰلِمُونَ
And there had certainly come to them a Messenger from among themselves, but they denied him; so punishment overtook them while they were wrongdoers.
﴿مِّنۡهُمۡ﴾: من جنسِهم، يَعْرِفُون نَسَبَه وأمانتَه.
فَكُلُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ حَلَٰلًۭا طَيِّبًۭا وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ إِن كُنتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ
Then eat of what Allah has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And be grateful for the favor of Allah, if it is [indeed] Him that you worship.
﴿وَٱشۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ﴾: بالاعترافِ بها، واستعمالِها في طاعَتِه.
إِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَيْتَةَ وَٱلدَّمَ وَلَحْمَ ٱلْخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦ ۖ فَمَنِ ٱضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ بَاغٍۢ وَلَا عَادٍۢ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ
He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit] - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
﴿ٱلۡمَيۡتَةَ﴾: ما لم يُذْبَحْ بطريقةٍ شَرْعِيَّةٍ من الحَيَوانِ.
﴿وَٱلدَّمَ﴾: أي: المُراقَ من الذَّبِيحةِ.
﴿وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦ﴾: ما ذُكِرَ عليه غيرُ اسمِ اللهِ عندَ ذَبْحِه.
﴿فَمَنِ ٱضۡطُرَّ﴾: فمَن ألجأَتْه الضَّرورةُ إلى أكْلِ شيءٍ من هذه المُحَرَّماتِ.
﴿غَيۡرَ بَاغࣲ﴾: غيرَ طالبٍ للمُحَرَّمِ وهو يَجِدُ غيرَه، أو غيرَ طالبٍ بأَكْلِه التلذُّذَ، أو غيرَ ظالمٍ لمضطرٍ آخرَ يُؤدِّي إلى هَلاكِه.
﴿وَلَا عَادࣲ﴾: ولا متجاوزٍ ما يَسُدُّ جَوْعتَه.
وَلَا تَقُولُوا۟ لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلْسِنَتُكُمُ ٱلْكَذِبَ هَٰذَا حَلَٰلٌۭ وَهَٰذَا حَرَامٌۭ لِّتَفْتَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ لَا يُفْلِحُونَ
And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, "This is lawful and this is unlawful," to invent falsehood about Allah. Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allah will not succeed.
﴿لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلۡسِنَتُكُمُ﴾: لمجرَّدِ وصْفِ ألسنتِكُم للشيء دونَ دليلٍ.
﴿لِّتَفۡتَرُواْ﴾: تختَلِقُوا.
مَتَٰعٌۭ قَلِيلٌۭ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ
[It is but] a brief enjoyment, and they will have a painful punishment.
Explained together with ayah 116
وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ حَرَّمْنَا مَا قَصَصْنَا عَلَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَمَا ظَلَمْنَٰهُمْ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
And to those who are Jews We have prohibited that which We related to you before. And We did not wrong them [thereby], but they were wronging themselves.
﴿ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُواْ﴾: اليهودِ.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لِلَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا۟ ٱلسُّوٓءَ بِجَهَٰلَةٍۢ ثُمَّ تَابُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوٓا۟ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهَا لَغَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌ
Then, indeed your Lord, to those who have done wrong out of ignorance and then repent after that and correct themselves - indeed, your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.
﴿ٱلسُّوٓءَ﴾: الذُّنوبَ والمعاصِيَ.
﴿بِجَهَـٰلَةࣲ﴾: بِجَهْلٍ منهم لعاقبتِها وإيجابِها سَخَطَ اللهِ.
﴿وَأَصۡلَحُوٓاْ﴾: استقامُوا بعد تَوْبَتِهم.
إِنَّ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ كَانَ أُمَّةًۭ قَانِتًۭا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفًۭا وَلَمْ يَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ
Indeed, Abraham was a [comprehensive] leader, devoutly obedient to Allah, inclining toward truth, and he was not of those who associate others with Allah.
﴿أُمَّةࣰ﴾: إمامًا قُدْوةً جامعًا لخِصالِ الخيرِ.
﴿قَانِتࣰا لِّلَّهِ﴾: مُطيعًا خاضِعًا له.
﴿حَنِيفࣰا﴾: مائلًا عن الأديانِ الباطلةِ إلى الدِّينِ الحقِ.
