سُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ
Reading Al-Muyassar fi Gharib al-Qur'an
Ayahs 141–150 of 286
تِلْكَ أُمَّةٌۭ قَدْ خَلَتْ ۖ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَلَكُم مَّا كَسَبْتُمْ ۖ وَلَا تُسْـَٔلُونَ عَمَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
That is a nation which has passed on. It will have [the consequence of] what it earned, and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do.
﴿خَلَتۡ﴾: مَضَتْ.
﴿كَسَبَتۡ﴾: عَمِلَتْ.
۞ سَيَقُولُ ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ مِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَا وَلَّىٰهُمْ عَن قِبْلَتِهِمُ ٱلَّتِى كَانُوا۟ عَلَيْهَا ۚ قُل لِّلَّهِ ٱلْمَشْرِقُ وَٱلْمَغْرِبُ ۚ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍۢ مُّسْتَقِيمٍۢ
The foolish among the people will say, "What has turned them away from their qiblah, which they used to face?" Say, "To Allah belongs the east and the west. He guides whom He wills to a straight path."
﴿ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ﴾: الجُهّالُ وضِعافُ العقولِ، وهم اليهودُ.
﴿مَا وَلَّىٰهُمۡ﴾: أيُّ شيءٍ صَرَفَ المسلمين؟
﴿عَن قِبۡلَتِهِمُ﴾: عن بيتِ المقْدِسِ، وهي قِبلة المسلمين أولَ الإسلامِ.
﴿صِرَ ٰطࣲ﴾: طريقٍ.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَٰكُمْ أُمَّةًۭ وَسَطًۭا لِّتَكُونُوا۟ شُهَدَآءَ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَيَكُونَ ٱلرَّسُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ شَهِيدًۭا ۗ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا ٱلْقِبْلَةَ ٱلَّتِى كُنتَ عَلَيْهَآ إِلَّا لِنَعْلَمَ مَن يَتَّبِعُ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِمَّن يَنقَلِبُ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيْهِ ۚ وَإِن كَانَتْ لَكَبِيرَةً إِلَّا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَدَى ٱللَّهُ ۗ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَٰنَكُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِٱلنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ
And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels. And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allah has guided. And never would Allah have caused you to lose your faith. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful.
﴿وَسَطࣰا﴾: عُدُولًا خِيارًا، لا إفراطَ عندكم، ولا تفْريطَ.
﴿لِّتَكُونُواْ شُهَدَآءَ﴾: لتَشْهَدُوا على الأممِ في الآخرةِ أنّ رُسُلَهم بَلَّغُوا.
﴿شَهِيدࣰا﴾: يشهدُ أنه بَلَّغَ الرسالةَ إلى أمَّتِه.
﴿ٱلَّتِي كُنتَ عَلَيۡهَآ﴾: التي صَرَفْناك عنها إلى الكعبةِ.
﴿يَنقَلِبُ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيۡهِ﴾: يَرْتَدُّ عن دينِه.
﴿وَإِن كَانَتۡ﴾: وإنّ تحويلَ الِقْبلَةِ.
﴿لَكَبِيرَةً﴾: لَثقيلةً شاقةً.
﴿لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَـٰنَكُمۡ﴾: يُبْطِلَ صلاتَكم إلى القِبْلَةِ السّابقةِ.
قَدْ نَرَىٰ تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۖ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةًۭ تَرْضَىٰهَا ۚ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۚ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُۥ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ لَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ
We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muhammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.
﴿فِي ٱلسَّمَآءِ﴾: أي: انتظارًا للوَحْي في شأنِ القِبْلَةِ.
﴿فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ﴾: فَلنُوَجِّهَنّك.
﴿فَوَلِّ وَجۡهَكَ﴾: اصرِفْ وجْهَك.
﴿شَطۡرَ﴾: جِهَةَ.
﴿فَوَلُّواْ﴾: فَتَوجَّهُوا.
﴿أَنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّ﴾: أن تحويلَكَ إلى الكعبةِ هو الثابتُ في كُتُبهِم.
وَلَئِنْ أَتَيْتَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ بِكُلِّ ءَايَةٍۢ مَّا تَبِعُوا۟ قِبْلَتَكَ ۚ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِتَابِعٍۢ قِبْلَتَهُمْ ۚ وَمَا بَعْضُهُم بِتَابِعٍۢ قِبْلَةَ بَعْضٍۢ ۚ وَلَئِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَآءَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ ۙ إِنَّكَ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
And if you brought to those who were given the Scripture every sign, they would not follow your qiblah. Nor will you be a follower of their qiblah. Nor would they be followers of one another's qiblah. So if you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, indeed, you would then be among the wrongdoers.
﴿ءَايَةࣲ﴾: حُجَّةٍ.
﴿ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ﴾: لأنفسِهم، المخالِفِين لأمرِ ربِّهم.
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ يَعْرِفُونَهُۥ كَمَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْنَآءَهُمْ ۖ وَإِنَّ فَرِيقًۭا مِّنْهُمْ لَيَكْتُمُونَ ٱلْحَقَّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
Those to whom We gave the Scripture know him as they know their own sons. But indeed, a party of them conceal the truth while they know [it].
﴿ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيۡنَـٰهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ﴾: هم أحبارُ اليهود، وعلماءُ النَّصارى.
﴿يَعۡرِفُونَهُۥ﴾: يَعْرِفُون محمدًا، أو يَعْرِفُون أن البيتَ الحرامَ قِبْلَتُهم، وقبلةُ الأنبياءِ السابقين.
ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ ۖ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْمُمْتَرِينَ
The truth is from your Lord, so never be among the doubters.
﴿ٱلۡمُمۡتَرِينَ﴾: الشّاكِّين.
وَلِكُلٍّۢ وِجْهَةٌ هُوَ مُوَلِّيهَا ۖ فَٱسْتَبِقُوا۟ ٱلْخَيْرَٰتِ ۚ أَيْنَ مَا تَكُونُوا۟ يَأْتِ بِكُمُ ٱللَّهُ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدِيرٌۭ
For each [religious following] is a direction toward which it faces. So race to [all that is] good. Wherever you may be, Allah will bring you forth [for judgement] all together. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.
﴿وَلِكُلࣲّ وِجۡهَةٌ﴾: ولكلِّ أهلِ دينٍ قبلةٌ.
﴿هُوَ مُوَلِّيهَا﴾: مُتَوَجِّهٌ إليها في صلاتِه.
﴿فَٱسۡتَبِقُواْ﴾: فبادِرُوا، وسارِعُوا.
﴿يَأۡتِ بِكُمُ﴾: يومَ القيامةِ.
وَمِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجْتَ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۖ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
So from wherever you go out [for prayer, O Muhammad] turn your face toward al- Masjid al-Haram, and indeed, it is the truth from your Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
﴿فَوَلِّ وَجۡهَكَ﴾: تَوَجَّهْ.
﴿شَطۡرَ﴾: نَحْوَ.
﴿وَإِنَّهُۥ﴾: وإنّ تَوَجُّهَك إليه.
وَمِنْ حَيْثُ خَرَجْتَ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۚ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُۥ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَيْكُمْ حُجَّةٌ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ فَلَا تَخْشَوْهُمْ وَٱخْشَوْنِى وَلِأُتِمَّ نِعْمَتِى عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
And from wherever you go out [for prayer], turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram. And wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces toward it in order that the people will not have any argument against you, except for those of them who commit wrong; so fear them not but fear Me. And [it is] so I may complete My favor upon you and that you may be guided.
﴿حُجَّةٌ﴾: هي قولُهم حينَ تَوَجَّهَ إلى المسجدِ الحرامِ: اشتاقَ إلى دينِ قومِه.
﴿ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ﴾: هم مشركُو قريشٍ، أو المعاندون أهلُ الكتابِ، فسيَبْقَون على جِدالهم وعِنادهِم.
﴿وَلِأُتِمَّ نِعۡمَتِي﴾: باختيار أكملِ الشَّرائعِ لكم.
