Tafsir

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

Ar-Ra'd 13:42

Word by word

وَقَدْ مَكَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَلِلَّهِ ٱلْمَكْرُ جَمِيعًا ۖ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَكْسِبُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلْكُفَّـٰرُ لِمَنْ عُقْبَى ٱلدَّارِ

And those before them had plotted, but to Allāh belongs the plan entirely. He knows what every soul earns, and the disbelievers will know for whom is the final home.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يقول : ( وقد مكر الذين من قبلهم ) برسلهم ، وأرادوا إخراجهم من بلادهم ، فمكر الله بهم ، وجعل العاقبة للمتقين ، كما قال تعالى : ( وإذ يمكر بك الذين كفروا ليثبتوك أو يقتلوك أو يخرجوك ويمكرون ويمكر الله والله خير الماكرين ) [ الأنفال : 30 ] وقال تعالى : ( ومكروا مكرا ومكرنا مكرا وهم لا يشعرون فانظر كيف كان عاقبة مكرهم أنا دمرناهم وقومهم أجمعين فتلك بيوتهم خاوية بما ظلموا ) الآية [ النمل : 50 - 52 ] .وقوله : ( يعلم ما تكسب كل نفس ) أي : إنه تعالى عالم بجميع السرائر والضمائر ، وسيجزي كل عامل بعمله .( وسيعلم الكافر ) وقرئ : ( الكفار ) ( لمن عقبى الدار ) أي : لمن تكون الدائرة والعاقبة ، لهم أو لأتباع الرسل ؟ كلا بل هي لأتباع الرسل في الدنيا والآخرة ، ولله الحمد والمنة .
