Tafsir

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

An-Nisa 4:48

Word by word

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَن يُشْرَكَ بِهِۦ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَمَن يُشْرِكْ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱفْتَرَىٰٓ إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا

Indeed, Allāh does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allāh has certainly fabricated a tremendous sin.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

إن الله تعالى لا يغفر ولا يتجاوز عمَّن أشرك به أحدًا من مخلوقاته، أو كفر بأي نوع من أنواع الكفر الأكبر، ويتجاوز ويعفو عمَّا دون الشرك من الذنوب، لمن يشاء من عباده، ومن يشرك بالله غيره فقد اختلق ذنبًا عظيمًا.
