Tafsir

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

Al-Baqarah 2:176

Word by word

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ نَزَّلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لَفِى شِقَاقٍۭ بَعِيدٍ

That is [deserved by them] because Allāh has sent down the Book in truth. And indeed, those who differ over the Book are in extreme dissension.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( ذلك بأن الله نزل الكتاب بالحق ) أي : إنما استحقوا هذا العذاب الشديد لأن الله تعالى أنزل على رسوله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلى الأنبياء قبله كتبه بتحقيق الحق وإبطال الباطل ، وهؤلاء اتخذوا آيات الله هزوا ، فكتابهم يأمرهم بإظهار العلم ونشره ، فخالفوه وكذبوه . وهذا الرسول الخاتم يدعوهم إلى الله تعالى ، ويأمرهم بالمعروف وينهاهم عن المنكر ، وهم يكذبونه ويخالفونه ويجحدونه ، ويكتمون صفته ، فاستهزأوا بآيات الله المنزلة على رسله ; فلهذا استحقوا العذاب والنكال ; ولهذا قال : ( ذلك بأن الله نزل الكتاب بالحق وإن الذين اختلفوا في الكتاب لفي شقاق بعيد ) .
