Tafsir

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

Hud 11:59

Word by word

وَتِلْكَ عَادٌ ۖ جَحَدُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَعَصَوْا۟ رُسُلَهُۥ وَٱتَّبَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ

And that was ʿAad, who rejected the signs of their Lord and disobeyed His messengers and followed the order of every obstinate tyrant.

وتلك عاد كفروا بآيات الله وعصَوا رسله، وأطاعوا أمر كل مستكبر على الله لا يقبل الحق ولا يُذْعن له.
