The Consequences of that Allah tells us that no one rejects or disputes His
signs after clear proof has come,
[إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُواْ]
(but those who disbelieve), i.e., those who reject the signs of Allah and His
proof and evidence.
[فَلاَ يَغْرُرْكَ
تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِى الْبِلاَدِ]
(So let not their ability of going about here and there through the land
deceive you!) means, their wealth and luxurious life. This is like the Ayah:
[لاَ يَغُرَّنَّكَ
تَقَلُّبُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فِى الْبِلَـدِ - مَتَـعٌ قَلِيلٌ ثُمَّ مَأْوَاهُمْ
جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ ]
(Let not the free disposal (and affluence) of the disbelievers throughout the
land deceive you. A brief enjoyment; then, their ultimate abode is Hell; and
worst indeed is that place for rest.) (3:196-197)
[نُمَتِّعُهُمْ
قَلِيلاً ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ إِلَى عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ ]
(We let them enjoy for a little while, then in the end We shall oblige them
to (enter) a great torment.) (31:24). Then Allah consoles His Prophet Muhammad
for the rejection of his people. He tells him that he has an example in the
Prophets who came before him, may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon them
all, for their nations disbelieved them and opposed them, and only a few
believed in them.
[كَذَّبَتْ
قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ]
(The people of Nuh denied before these;) Nuh was the first Messenger whom
Allah sent to denounce and forbid idol worship.
[وَالاٌّحْزَابُ مِن
بَعْدِهِمْ]
(and the groups after them) means, from every nation.
[وَهَمَّتْ كُـلُّ
أُمَّةٍ بِرَسُولِهِمْ لِيَأْخُذُوهُ]
(and every (disbelieving) nation plotted against their Messenger to seize
him,) means, they wanted to kill him by any means possible, and some of them did
kill their Messenger.
[وَجَـدَلُوا
بِالْبَـطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُواْ بِهِ الْحَقَّ]
(and disputed by means of falsehood to refute therewith the truth.) means,
they came up with specious arguments with which to dispute the truth which was
so plain and clear.
[فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ]
(So I seized them) means, `I destroyed them, because of the sins they
committed.'
[فَكَيْفَ كَانَ
عِقَابِ]
(and how was My punishment!) means, `how have you heard that My punishment
and vengeance was so severe and painful.' Qatadah said, "It was terrible, by
Allah.''
[وَكَذَلِكَ حَقَّتْ
كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحَـبُ النَّارِ ]
(Thus has the Word of your Lord been justified against those who disbelieved,
that they will be the dwellers of the Fire.) means, `just as the Word of
punishment was justified against those of the past nations who disbelieved, so
too is it justified against these disbelievers who have rejected you and gone
against you, O Muhammad, and it is even more justified against them, because if
they have disbelieved in you, there is no certainty that they will believe in
any other Prophet.' And Allah knows best.
[الَّذِينَ
يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ
وَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ رَبَّنَا وَسِعْتَ
كُـلَّ شَىْءٍ رَّحْمَةً وَعِلْماً فَاغْفِرْ لِلَّذِينَ تَابُواْ وَاتَّبَعُواْ
سَبِيلَكَ وَقِهِمْ عَذَابَ الْجَحِيمِ - رَبَّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّـتِ عَدْنٍ
الَّتِى وَعَدْتَّهُمْ وَمَن صَـلَحَ مِنْ ءَابَآئِهِمْ وَأَزْوَجِهِمْ
وَذُرِّيَّـتِهِمْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ - وَقِهِمُ السَّيِّئَـتِ
وَمَن تَقِ السَّيِّئَـتِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَدْ رَحِمْتَهُ وَذَلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ
الْعَظِيمُ ]
(7. Those (angels) who bear the Throne (of Allah) and those around it glorify
the praises of their Lord, and believe in Him, and ask forgiveness for those who
believe (saying): "Our Lord! You comprehend all things in mercy and knowledge,
so forgive those who repent and follow Your way, and save them from the torment
of the blazing Fire!) (8. Our Lord! And make them enter the `Adn (Eternal)
Gardens which you have promised them -- and to the righteous among their
fathers, their wives, and their offspring! Verily, You are the Almighty, the
All-Wise.) (9. And save them from the sins, and whomsoever You save from the
sins that Day, him verily, You have taken into mercy.'' And that is the supreme
success.)
