Tafsir

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

Al-Anbya 21:44

Word by word

بَلْ مَتَّعْنَا هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْعُمُرُ ۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّا نَأْتِى ٱلْأَرْضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنْ أَطْرَافِهَآ ۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ

But, [on the contrary], We have provided good things for these [disbelievers] and their fathers until life was prolonged for them. Then do they not see that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? Is it they who will overcome?

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى مخبرا عن المشركين : إنما غرهم وحملهم على ما هم فيه من الضلال ، أنهم متعوا في الحياة الدنيا ، ونعموا وطال عليهم العمر فيما هم فيه ، فاعتقدوا أنهم على شيء .ثم قال واعظا لهم : ( أفلا يرون أنا نأتي الأرض ننقصها من أطرافها ) اختلف المفسرون في معناه ، وقد أسلفناه في سورة " الرعد " ، وأحسن ما فسر بقوله تعالى : ( ولقد أهلكنا ما حولكم من القرى وصرفنا الآيات لعلهم يرجعون ) [ الأحقاف : 27 ] .وقال الحسن البصري : يعني بذلك ظهور الإسلام على الكفر .والمعنى : أفلا يعتبرون بنصر الله لأوليائه على أعدائه ، وإهلاكه الأمم المكذبة والقرى الظالمة ، وإنجائه لعباده المؤمنين; ولهذا قال : ( أفهم الغالبون ) يعني : بل هم المغلوبون الأسفلون الأخسرون الأرذلون .
