Tafsir

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

Hud 11:56

Word by word

إِنِّى تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رَبِّى وَرَبِّكُم ۚ مَّا مِن دَآبَّةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ ءَاخِذٌۢ بِنَاصِيَتِهَآ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

Indeed, I have relied upon Allāh, my Lord and your Lord. There is no creature but that He holds it by its forelock [i.e., controls it]. Indeed, my Lord is on a path [that is] straight.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

إني توكلت على الله ربي وربكم مالك كل شيء والمتصرف فيه، فلا يصيبني شيء إلا بأمره، وهو القادر على كل شيء، فليس من شيء يدِبُّ على هذه الأرض إلا والله مالكه، وهو في سلطانه وتصرفه. إن ربي على صراط مستقيم، أي عدل في قضائه وشرعه وأمره. يجازي المحسن بإحسانه والمسيء بإساءته.
