Tafsir

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

Fussilat 41:43

Word by word

مَّا يُقَالُ لَكَ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ قِيلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِن قَبْلِكَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ وَذُو عِقَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Nothing is said to you, [O Muḥammad], except what was already said to the messengers before you. Indeed, your Lord is a possessor of forgiveness and a possessor of painful penalty.

ما يقول لك هؤلاء المشركون -أيها الرسول- إلا ما قد قاله مَن قبلهم مِنَ الأمم لرسلهم، فاصبر على ما ينالك في سبيل الدعوة إلى الله. إن ربك لذو مغفرة لذنوب التائبين، وذو عقاب لمن أصرَّ على كفره وتكذيبه.
