Tafsir

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

An-Nisa 4:93

Word by word

وَمَن يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِنًا مُّتَعَمِّدًا فَجَزَآؤُهُۥ جَهَنَّمُ خَـٰلِدًا فِيهَا وَغَضِبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَعَنَهُۥ وَأَعَدَّ لَهُۥ عَذَابًا عَظِيمًا

But whoever kills a believer intentionally - his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allāh has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

ومن يَعْتَدِ على مؤمن فيقتله عن عمد بغير حق فعاقبته جهنم، خالدًا فيها مع سخط الله تعالى عليه وطَرْدِهِ من رحمته، إن جازاه على ذنبه وأعدَّ الله له أشد العذاب بسبب ما ارتكبه من هذه الجناية العظيمة. ولكنه سبحانه يعفو ويتفضل على أهل الإيمان فلا يجازيهم بالخلود في جهنم.
