Reading Al-Muyassar fi Gharib al-Qur'an

Ayahs 81–90 of 128

81

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَٰلًۭا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ أَكْنَٰنًۭا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ سَرَٰبِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ ٱلْحَرَّ وَسَرَٰبِيلَ تَقِيكُم بَأْسَكُمْ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْلِمُونَ

And Allah has made for you, from that which He has created, shadows and has made for you from the mountains, shelters and has made for you garments which protect you from the heat and garments which protect you from your [enemy in] battle. Thus does He complete His favor upon you that you might submit [to Him].

﴿ظِلَـٰلࣰا﴾: ما تَسْتظِلُّون به من شدَّةِ الحرِّ.

﴿أَكۡنَـٰنࣰا﴾: أماكنَ وِقايةٍ وسِتْرٍ، كالكهوفِ.

﴿سَرَ ٰ⁠بِيلَ﴾: كلَّ ما يُلْبَس من ثيابٍ أو دُروعٍ.

﴿بَأۡسَكُمۡ﴾: الشدَّةَ في حروبِكم، كالطَّعْنِ والضَّرْبِ والشَّظايا.

﴿تُسۡلِمُونَ﴾: تَنقادُون وتَخْضَعُون لأمرِ اللهِ وحُكْمِه.

82

فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْبَلَٰغُ ٱلْمُبِينُ

But if they turn away, [O Muhammad] - then only upon you is [responsibility for] clear notification.

﴿تَوَلَّوۡاْ﴾: أعْرَضُوا.

﴿ٱلۡمُبِينُ﴾: الواضحُ.

83

يَعْرِفُونَ نِعْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنكِرُونَهَا وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ

They recognize the favor of Allah; then they deny it. And most of them are disbelievers.

Explained together with ayah 82

84

وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍۢ شَهِيدًۭا ثُمَّ لَا يُؤْذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ

And [mention] the Day when We will resurrect from every nation a witness. Then it will not be permitted to the disbelievers [to apologize or make excuses], nor will they be asked to appease [Allah].

﴿شَهِيدࣰا﴾: هو رسولُهم يَشْهَدُ على مَن آمَنَ منهم، وعلى مَن كَفَرَ.

﴿لَا يُؤۡذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ﴾: بالاعتذار عَمّا وقَعَ منهم.

﴿وَلَا هُمۡ يُسۡتَعۡتَبُونَ﴾: لا يُطْلَبُ منهم العُتْبى، أي: الرجوعُ إلى ما يُرْضي اللهَ من التوبةِ والعملِ الصّالحِ.

85

وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ فَلَا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ

And when those who wronged see the punishment, it will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved.

﴿يُنظَرُونَ﴾: يُمْهَلُون ويُؤَخَّرون عنه.

86

وَإِذَا رَءَا ٱلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا۟ شُرَكَآءَهُمْ قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ شُرَكَآؤُنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كُنَّا نَدْعُوا۟ مِن دُونِكَ ۖ فَأَلْقَوْا۟ إِلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقَوْلَ إِنَّكُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ

And when those who associated others with Allah see their "partners," they will say," Our Lord, these are our partners [to You] whom we used to invoke besides You." But they will throw at them the statement, "Indeed, you are liars."

﴿شُرَكَآءَهُمۡ﴾: آلهتَهم المزعومةَ.

﴿نَدۡعُواْ﴾: نعبدُ.

﴿فَأَلۡقَوۡاْ إِلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ﴾: رَدَّتِ الآلهةُ على عابدِيها قائلين.

87

وَأَلْقَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلسَّلَمَ ۖ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ

And they will impart to Allah that Day [their] submission, and lost from them is what they used to invent.

﴿وَأَلۡقَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ يَوۡمَئِذٍ ٱلسَّلَمَ﴾: أظهرَ المشركونَ خُضوعَهم وانقيادَهم للهِ يومَ القيامةِ.

﴿وَضَلَّ﴾: غابَ وضاعَ.

﴿يَفۡتَرُونَ﴾: يختلِقُونَه مِن الأكاذيبِ.

88

ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ زِدْنَٰهُمْ عَذَابًۭا فَوْقَ ٱلْعَذَابِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يُفْسِدُونَ

Those who disbelieved and averted [others] from the way of Allah - We will increase them in punishment over [their] punishment for what corruption they were causing.

Explained together with ayah 87

89

وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍۢ شَهِيدًا عَلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ۚ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ تِبْيَٰنًۭا لِّكُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ وَهُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةًۭ وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ

And [mention] the Day when We will resurrect among every nation a witness over them from themselves. And We will bring you, [O Muhammad], as a witness over your nation. And We have sent down to you the Book as clarification for all things and as guidance and mercy and good tidings for the Muslims.

﴿شَهِيدًا عَلَىٰ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ﴾: تَشْهَدُ على أمَّتِك أنكَ بَلَّغْتَهم رسالةَ ربِّك.

﴿ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ﴾: القرآنَ.

﴿تِبۡيَـٰنࣰا﴾: بَيانًا وتوضيحًا.

﴿لِّكُلِّ شَيۡءࣲ﴾: مما يَحْتاجُ إليه الناسُ من أمورِ الشريعةِ.

90

۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِٱلْعَدْلِ وَٱلْإِحْسَٰنِ وَإِيتَآئِ ذِى ٱلْقُرْبَىٰ وَيَنْهَىٰ عَنِ ٱلْفَحْشَآءِ وَٱلْمُنكَرِ وَٱلْبَغْىِ ۚ يَعِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

Indeed, Allah orders justice and good conduct and giving to relatives and forbids immorality and bad conduct and oppression. He admonishes you that perhaps you will be reminded.

﴿بِٱلۡعَدۡلِ﴾: بالتوسُّطِ والإنصافِ في الأمور.

﴿وَٱلۡإِحۡسَـٰنِ﴾: كمالِ العملِ وإتقانِه، وإيصالِ النفعِ إلى الخَلْقِ.

﴿وَإِيتَآيِٕ ذِي ٱلۡقُرۡبَىٰ﴾: إعطاءِ القَرابةِ حَقَّهم من الصِّلةِ والبِرِّ.

﴿ٱلۡفَحۡشَآءِ﴾: ما عَظُمَ قُبْحُه من الذنوبِ قولًا أو فعلًا.

﴿وَٱلۡبَغۡيِ﴾: ظُلْمِ الناسِ وتجاوُزِ الحَدِّ في الاستعلاءِ والتعدِّي عليهم.
