Tafsir

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

Fatir 35:2

Word by word

مَّا يَفْتَحِ ٱللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَا ۖ وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ

Whatever Allāh grants to people of mercy - none can withhold it; and whatever He withholds - none can release it thereafter. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

ما يفتح الله للناس من رزق ومطر وصحة وعلم وغير ذلك من النعم، فلا أحد يقدر أن يمسك هذه الرحمة، وما يمسك منها فلا أحد يستطيع أن يرسلها بعده سبحانه وتعالى. وهو العزيز القاهر لكل شيء، الحكيم الذي يرسل الرحمة ويمسكها وَفْق حكمته.
