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.

ذلك العذاب الذي استحقوه بسبب أن الله تعالى نزَّل كتبه على رسله مشتملة على الحق المبين، فكفروا به. وإن الذين اختلفوا في الكتاب فآمنوا ببعضه وكفروا ببعضه، لفي منازعة ومفارقة بعيدة عن الرشد والصواب.
