Reading Adwa' al-Bayan by Muhammad al-Amin al-Shinqiti
Ayahs 21–30 of 165
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِـَٔايَٰتِهِۦٓ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ
And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie or denies His verses? Indeed, the wrongdoers will not succeed.
Explained together with ayah 19
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ جَمِيعًۭا ثُمَّ نَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوٓا۟ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآؤُكُمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ
And [mention, O Muhammad], the Day We will gather them all together; then We will say to those who associated others with Allah, "Where are your 'partners' that you used to claim [with Him]?"
Explained together with ayah 19
ثُمَّ لَمْ تَكُن فِتْنَتُهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوا۟ وَٱللَّهِ رَبِّنَا مَا كُنَّا مُشْرِكِينَ
Then there will be no [excuse upon] examination except they will say, "By Allah, our Lord, we were not those who associated."
Explained together with ayah 19
ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَذَبُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۚ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ
See how they will lie about themselves. And lost from them will be what they used to invent.
Explained together with ayah 19
وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًۭا ۚ وَإِن يَرَوْا۟ كُلَّ ءَايَةٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَا ۚ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُوكَ يُجَٰدِلُونَكَ يَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
And among them are those who listen to you, but We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. Even when they come to you arguing with you, those who disbelieve say, "This is not but legends of the former peoples."
Explained together with ayah 19
وَهُمْ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ وَيَنْـَٔوْنَ عَنْهُ ۖ وَإِن يُهْلِكُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ
And they prevent [others] from him and are [themselves] remote from him. And they do not destroy except themselves, but they perceive [it] not.
Explained together with ayah 19
وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ وُقِفُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ فَقَالُوا۟ يَٰلَيْتَنَا نُرَدُّ وَلَا نُكَذِّبَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّنَا وَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
If you could but see when they are made to stand before the Fire and will say, "Oh, would that we could be returned [to life on earth] and not deny the signs of our Lord and be among the believers."
Explained together with ayah 19
بَلْ بَدَا لَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُخْفُونَ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ وَلَوْ رُدُّوا۟ لَعَادُوا۟ لِمَا نُهُوا۟ عَنْهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
But what they concealed before has [now] appeared to them. And even if they were returned, they would return to that which they were forbidden; and indeed, they are liars.
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعادُوا لِما نُهُوا عَنْهُ وإنَّهم لَكاذِبُونَ﴾، هَذِهِ الآيَةُ الكَرِيمَةُ تَدُلُّ عَلى أنَّ اللَّهَ - جَلَّ وعَلا - الَّذِي أحاطَ عِلْمُهُ بِكُلِّ مَوْجُودٍ ومَعْدُومٍ، يَعْلَمُ المَعْدُومَ الَّذِي سَبَقَ في الأزَلِ أنَّهُ لا يَكُونُ لَوْ وُجِدَ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ؛ لِأنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أنَّ رَدَّ الكُفّارِ يَوْمَ القِيامَةِ إلى الدُّنْيا مَرَّةً أُخْرى لا يَكُونُ، ويَعْلَمُ هَذا الرَّدَّ الَّذِي لا يَكُونُ لَوْ وقَعَ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ، كَما صَرَّحَ بِهِ بِقَوْلِهِ: ﴿وَلَوْ رُدُّوا لَعادُوا لِما نُهُوا عَنْهُ وإنَّهم لَكاذِبُونَ﴾ [الأنعام: ٢٨]، وهَذا المَعْنى جاءَ مُصَرَّحًا بِهِ في آياتٍ أُخَرَ.
فَمِن ذَلِكَ أنَّهُ تَعالى سَبَقَ في عِلْمِهِ أنَّ المُنافِقِينَ الَّذِينَ تَخَلَّفُوا عَنْ غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ، لا يَخْرُجُونَ إلَيْها مَعَهُ ﷺ واللَّهُ ثَبَّطَهم عَنْها لِحِكْمَةٍ، كَما صَرَّحَ بِهِ في قَوْلِهِ: ﴿وَلَكِنْ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ انْبِعاثَهم فَثَبَّطَهُمْ﴾ الآيَةَ [التوبة: ٤٦]، وهو يَعْلَمُ هَذا الخُرُوجَ الَّذِي لا يَكُونُ لَوْ وقَعَ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ، كَما صَرَّحَ بِهِ تَعالى في قَوْلِهِ: ﴿لَوْ خَرَجُوا فِيكم ما زادُوكم إلّا خَبالًا﴾ الآيَةَ [التوبة: ٤٧]، ومِنَ الآياتِ الدّالَّةِ عَلى المَعْنى المَذْكُورِ قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿وَلَوْ رَحِمْناهم وكَشَفْنا ما بِهِمْ مِن ضُرٍّ لَلَجُّوا في طُغْيانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ﴾ [المؤمنون: ٧٥]، إلى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الآياتِ.
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا حَيَاتُنَا ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَبْعُوثِينَ
And they say, "There is none but our worldly life, and we will not be resurrected."
Explained together with ayah 28
وَلَوْ تَرَىٰٓ إِذْ وُقِفُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمْ ۚ قَالَ أَلَيْسَ هَٰذَا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ قَالُوا۟ بَلَىٰ وَرَبِّنَا ۚ قَالَ فَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ
If you could but see when they will be made to stand before their Lord. He will say, "Is this not the truth?" They will say, "Yes, by our Lord." He will [then] say, "So taste the punishment because you used to disbelieve."
Explained together with ayah 28
