Tafseer 6

Al Salam Alaikum wa Rahmat Allah wa Barakatoh

"ولو أن قرآنًا سيرت به الجبال أو قطعت به الأرض أو كلم به الموتى بل لله الأمر جميعًا أفلم ييأس الذين آمنوا أن لو يشاء الله لهدى الناس جميعًا ولا يزال الذين كفروا تصيبهم بما صنعوا قارعة أو تحل قريبًا من دارهم حتى يأتي وعد الله إن الله لا يخلف الميعاد"

Meaning:  And if there had been a Qur'an with which mountains could be moved (from their places) or the earth could be cloven asunder, or the dead could be made to speak (it would not have been other than this Qur'an).  But the decision of all things is certainly with Allah.  Have not then those who believed yet known that had mankind?  And a disaster will not cease to strike those who disbelieved because of their (evil) deeds or it (i.e. the disaster) settles close to their homes, until the Promise of Allah comes to pass.  Certainly, Allah breaks not His Promise.

"ولقد استهزىء برسل من قبلك فأمليت للذين كفروا ثم أخذتهم فكيف كان عقاب"

And indeed (many) Messengers were mocked at before you (O Muhammad Salla Allah alaihi wa Sallam), but I granted respite to those who disbelieved, and finally I punished them.  Then how (terrible) was My punishment!

"أفمن هو قائم على كل نفس بما كسبت وجعلوا لله شركاء قل سموهم أم تنبئونه بما لا يعلم في الأرض أم بظاهر من القول بل زين للذين كفروا مكرهم وصدوا عن السبيل ومن يضلل الله فما له من هاد"

I then He (Allah) Who takes charge (guards, maintains, provides) of every person and knows all that he has earned (like any other deity who knows nothing)?  Yet, they ascribe partners to Allah.  Say:  "Name them!  Is it that you will inform Him of something He knows not in the earth or is it (just) a show of false words?"  Nay!  To those who disbelieved, their plotting is made fair-seeming, and they have been hindered from the Right Path;  and whom Allah sends astray, for him there is no guide.

"لهم عذاب في الحياة الدنيا ولعذاب الآخرة أشق وما لهم من الله من واق"

For them is a torment is the life of this world, and certainly, harder is the torment of the Hereafter.  And they have no Waq (defender or protector) against Allah.
