Tafsir

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

An-Nisa 4:56

Word by word

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا سَوْفَ نُصْلِيهِمْ نَارًا كُلَّمَا نَضِجَتْ جُلُودُهُم بَدَّلْنَـٰهُمْ جُلُودًا غَيْرَهَا لِيَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَزِيزًا حَكِيمًا

Indeed, those who disbelieve in Our verses - We will drive them into a fire. Every time their skins are roasted through, We will replace them with other skins so they may taste the punishment. Indeed, Allāh is ever Exalted in Might and Wise.

إن الذين جحدوا ما أنزل الله من آياته ووحي كتابه ودلائله وحججه، سوف ندخلهم نارًا يقاسون حرَّها، كلما احترقت جلودهم بدَّلْناهم جلودًا أخرى; ليستمر عذابهم وألمهم. إن الله تعالى كان عزيزًا لا يمتنع عليه شيء، حكيمًا في تدبيره وقضائه.
