Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Yunus 10:98

Word by word

فَلَوْلَا كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ ءَامَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَآ إِيمَـٰنُهَآ إِلَّا قَوْمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّآ ءَامَنُوا۟ كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْخِزْىِ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

لم ينفع الإيمان أهل قرية آمنوا عند معاينة العذاب إلا أهل قرية يونس بن مَتَّى، فإنهم لمَّا أيقنوا أن العذاب نازل بهم تابوا إلى الله تعالى توبة نصوحا، فلمَّا تبيَّن منهم الصدق في توبتهم كشف الله عنهم عذاب الخزي بعد أن اقترب منهم، وتركهم في الدنيا يستمتعون إلى وقت إنهاء آجالهم.
