Tafsir

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

Al-Isra 17:45

Word by word

وَإِذَا قَرَأْتَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ حِجَابًا مَّسْتُورًا

And when you recite the Qur’ān, We put between you and those who do not believe in the Hereafter a concealed partition.

وإذا قرأت القرآن فسمعه هؤلاء المشركون، جعلنا بينك وبين الذين لا يؤمنون بالآخرة حجابًا ساترًا يحجب عقولهم عن فَهْمِ القرآن؛ عقابًا لهم على كفرهم وإنكارهم.
