Tafsir

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

Al-Baqarah 2:253

Word by word

۞ تِلْكَ ٱلرُّسُلُ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ ۘ مِّنْهُم مَّن كَلَّمَ ٱللَّهُ ۖ وَرَفَعَ بَعْضَهُمْ دَرَجَـٰتٍ ۚ وَءَاتَيْنَا عِيسَى ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ وَأَيَّدْنَـٰهُ بِرُوحِ ٱلْقُدُسِ ۗ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا ٱقْتَتَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ وَلَـٰكِنِ ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ ءَامَنَ وَمِنْهُم مَّن كَفَرَ ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَا ٱقْتَتَلُوا۟ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يُرِيدُ

Those messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allāh spoke, and He raised some of them in degree. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., Gabriel]. If Allāh had willed, those [generations] succeeding them would not have fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them. But they differed, and some of them believed and some of them disbelieved. And if Allāh had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allāh does what He intends.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

هؤلاء الرسل الكرام فضَّل الله بعضهم على بعض، بحسب ما منَّ الله به عليهم: فمنهم مَن كلمه الله كموسى ومحمد عليهما الصلاة والسلام، وفي هذا إثبات صفة الكلام لله عز وجل على الوجه اللائق بجلاله، ومنهم مَن رفعه الله درجاتٍ عاليةً كمحمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، بعموم رسالته، وختم النبوة به، وتفضيل أمته على جميع الأمم، وغير ذلك. وآتى الله تعالى عيسى ابن مريم عليه السلام البينات المعجزات الباهرات، كإبراء مَن ولد أعمى بإذن الله تعالى، ومَن به برص بإذن الله، وكإحيائه الموتى بإذن الله، وأيده بجبريل عليه السلام. ولو شاء الله ألا يقتتل الذين جاؤوا مِن بعد هؤلاء الرسل مِن بعد ما جاءتهم البينات ما اقتتلوا، ولكن وقع الاختلاف بينهم: فمنهم مَن ثبت على إيمانه، ومنهم مَن أصر على كفره. ولو شاء الله بعد ما وقع الاختلاف بينهم، الموجب للاقتتال، ما اقتتلوا، ولكن الله يوفق مَن يشاء لطاعته والإيمان به، ويخذل مَن يشاء، فيعصيه ويكفر به، فهو يفعل ما يشاء ويختار.
