Tafsir

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

Hud 11:92

Word by word

قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ أَرَهْطِىٓ أَعَزُّ عَلَيْكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَٱتَّخَذْتُمُوهُ وَرَآءَكُمْ ظِهْرِيًّا ۖ إِنَّ رَبِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ

He said, "O my people, is my family more respected for power by you than Allāh? But you put Him behind your backs [in neglect]. Indeed, my Lord is encompassing of what you do.

قال: يا قوم أعشيرتي أعزُّ وأكرم عليكم من الله؟ ونبذتم أمر ربكم فجعلتموه خلف ظهوركم، لا تأتمرون به ولا تنتهون بنهيه، إن ربي بما تعملون محيط، لا يخفى عليه من أعمالكم مثقال ذرة، وسيجازيكم عليها عاجلا وآجلا.
