Tafsir

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

Al-Kahf 18:98

Word by word

قَالَ هَـٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّى ۖ فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّى جَعَلَهُۥ دَكَّآءَ ۖ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّى حَقًّا

[Dhul-Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes [i.e., approaches], He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( قال هذا رحمة من ربي ) أي : لما بناه ذو القرنين ( قال هذا رحمة من ربي ) أي : بالناس حيث جعل بينهم وبين يأجوج ومأجوج حائلا يمنعهم من العيث في الأرض والفساد . ( فإذا جاء وعد ربي ) أي : إذا اقترب الوعد الحق ( جعله دكاء ) أي : ساواه بالأرض . تقول العرب : ناقة دكاء : إذا كان ظهرها مستويا لا سنام لها . وقال تعالى : ( فلما تجلى ربه للجبل جعله دكا ) [ الأعراف : 143 ] أي : مساويا للأرض .وقال عكرمة في قوله : ( فإذا جاء وعد ربي جعله دكاء ) قال : طريقا كما كان .( وكان وعد ربي حقا ) أي : كائنا لا محالة .
