Reading Al-Muyassar fi Gharib al-Qur'an

Ayahs 111–120 of 286

111

وَقَالُوا۟ لَن يَدْخُلَ ٱلْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَن كَانَ هُودًا أَوْ نَصَٰرَىٰ ۗ تِلْكَ أَمَانِيُّهُمْ ۗ قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَٰنَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

And they say, "None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian." That is [merely] their wishful thinking, Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."

﴿أَمَانِيُّهُمۡ﴾: أوهامُهم الفاسدةُ.

﴿بُرۡهَـٰنَكُمۡ﴾: حُجَّتَكم.

112

بَلَىٰ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَجْهَهُۥ لِلَّهِ وَهُوَ مُحْسِنٌۭ فَلَهُۥٓ أَجْرُهُۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

Yes [on the contrary], whoever submits his face in Islam to Allah while being a doer of good will have his reward with his Lord. And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.

﴿أَسۡلَمَ﴾: أخلَصَ لطاعَتِه.

﴿وَهُوَ مُحۡسِنࣱ﴾: مُتَّبِعٌ للرسولِ ﷺ.

113

وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ لَيْسَتِ ٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍۢ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ لَيْسَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍۢ وَهُمْ يَتْلُونَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ ۚ فَٱللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

The Jews say "The Christians have nothing [true] to stand on," and the Christians say, "The Jews have nothing to stand on," although they [both] recite the Scripture. Thus the polytheists speak the same as their words. But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

﴿عَلَىٰ شَيۡءࣲ﴾: أي: من الدِّينِ الصَّحيحِ.

﴿وَهُمۡ يَتۡلُونَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ﴾: يَقْرَؤون التوراةَ والإنجيلَ، وفيهما الإيمانُ بالأنبياءِ جميعًا.

﴿ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ﴾: هم مُشْرِكو العربِ وغيرُهم.

﴿يَحۡكُمُ﴾: يَفْصِلُ، ويَقْضي.

114

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن مَّنَعَ مَسَٰجِدَ ٱللَّهِ أَن يُذْكَرَ فِيهَا ٱسْمُهُۥ وَسَعَىٰ فِى خَرَابِهَآ ۚ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ أَن يَدْخُلُوهَآ إِلَّا خَآئِفِينَ ۚ لَهُمْ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا خِزْىٌۭ وَلَهُمْ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌۭ

And who are more unjust than those who prevent the name of Allah from being mentioned in His mosques and strive toward their destruction. It is not for them to enter them except in fear. For them in this world is disgrace, and they will have in the Hereafter a great punishment.

﴿وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ﴾: لا أحدَ أظلمُ.

﴿خِزۡيࣱ﴾: ذِلَّةٌ وهَوانٌ.

115

وَلِلَّهِ ٱلْمَشْرِقُ وَٱلْمَغْرِبُ ۚ فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا۟ فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌۭ

And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of Allah. Indeed, Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

﴿تُوَلُّواْ﴾: تَتَوَجَّهُوا.

﴿فَثَمَّ وَجۡهُ﴾: فإنكم مُبْتَغُون وجْهَه.

﴿وَ ٰ⁠سِعٌ﴾: واسعُ الرحمةِ بعبادِه.

116

وَقَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدًۭا ۗ سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ ۖ بَل لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ كُلٌّۭ لَّهُۥ قَٰنِتُونَ

They say, "Allah has taken a son." Exalted is He! Rather, to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. All are devoutly obedient to Him,

﴿سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥ﴾: تَنَزَّهَ عن هذا الباطلِ.

﴿قَـٰنِتُونَ﴾: خاضِعُون له، مُطيعون.

بَدِيعُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ وَإِذَا قَضَىٰٓ أَمْرًۭا فَإِنَّمَا يَقُولُ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ

Originator of the heavens and the earth. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.

﴿بَدِيعُ﴾: مُبْدِعٌ على غيرِ مثالٍ سَبَقَ.

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ لَوْلَا يُكَلِّمُنَا ٱللَّهُ أَوْ تَأْتِينَآ ءَايَةٌۭ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ ۘ تَشَٰبَهَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۗ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍۢ يُوقِنُونَ

Those who do not know say, "Why does Allah not speak to us or there come to us a sign?" Thus spoke those before them like their words. Their hearts resemble each other. We have shown clearly the signs to a people who are certain [in faith].

﴿لَوۡلَا﴾: هَلّا.

﴿ءَايَةࣱ﴾: مُعْجزةٌ.

﴿تَشَـٰبَهَتۡ﴾: في الكُفرِ والعِنادِ.

﴿يُوقِنُونَ﴾: يُصَدِّقُون ويَتَّبِعُون الرسولَ ﷺ.

إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ بَشِيرًۭا وَنَذِيرًۭا ۖ وَلَا تُسْـَٔلُ عَنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Indeed, We have sent you, [O Muhammad], with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner, and you will not be asked about the companions of Hellfire.

﴿بَشِيرࣰا﴾: للمؤمنين بخَيْرَي الدُّنيا و الآخرةِ.

﴿وَنَذِيرࣰا﴾: ومُخَوِّفًا للمعانِدِين بالعذابِ.

وَلَن تَرْضَىٰ عَنكَ ٱلْيَهُودُ وَلَا ٱلنَّصَٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى ٱللَّهِ هُوَ ٱلْهُدَىٰ ۗ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم بَعْدَ ٱلَّذِى جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن وَلِىٍّۢ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ

And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance." If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or helper.

﴿مِلَّتَهُمۡ﴾: دينَهم.

﴿هُوَ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ﴾: الدِّينُ الصحيحُ.

﴿وَلِيࣲّ﴾: قريبٍ يمنعُك من عذابِ اللهِ.
