Tafsir

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

Ibrahim 14:12

Word by word

وَمَا لَنَآ أَلَّا نَتَوَكَّلَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ وَقَدْ هَدَىٰنَا سُبُلَنَا ۚ وَلَنَصْبِرَنَّ عَلَىٰ مَآ ءَاذَيْتُمُونَا ۚ وَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ

And why should we not rely upon Allāh while He has guided us to our [good] ways. And we will surely be patient against whatever harm you should cause us. And upon Allāh let those who would rely [indeed] rely."

وكيف لا نعتمد على الله، وهو الذي أرشدنا إلى طريق النجاة من عذابه باتباع أحكام دينه؟ ولنصبرنَّ على إيذائكم لنا بالكلام السيئ وغيره، وعلى الله وحده يجب أن يعتمد المؤمنون في نصرهم، وهزيمة أعدائهم.
