Tafsir

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

Ash-Shuraa 42:17

Word by word

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ ۗ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَرِيبٌ

It is Allāh who has sent down the Book in truth and [also] the balance [i.e., justice]. And what will make you perceive? Perhaps the Hour is near.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

ثم قال : ( الله الذي أنزل الكتاب بالحق ) يعني : الكتب المنزلة من عنده على أنبيائه ( والميزان ) ، وهو : العدل والإنصاف ، قاله مجاهد ، وقتادة . وهذه كقوله تعالى : ( لقد أرسلنا رسلنا بالبينات وأنزلنا معهم الكتاب والميزان ليقوم الناس بالقسط ) [ الحديد : 25 ] وقوله : ( والسماء رفعها ووضع الميزان . ألا تطغوا في الميزان . وأقيموا الوزن بالقسط ولا تخسروا الميزان ) [ الرحمن : 7 - 9 ] .وقوله : ( وما يدريك لعل الساعة قريب ) فيه ترغيب فيها ، وترهيب منها ، وتزهيد في الدنيا .
