Tafsir

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

Al-Ma'idah 5:17

Word by word

لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ ۚ قُلْ فَمَن يَمْلِكُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ شَيْـًٔا إِنْ أَرَادَ أَن يُهْلِكَ ٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَأُمَّهُۥ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ۗ وَلِلَّهِ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ۚ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allāh is Christ, the son of Mary. Say, "Then who could prevent Allāh at all if He had intended to destroy Christ, the son of Mary, or his mother or everyone on the earth?" And to Allāh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. He creates what He wills, and Allāh is over all things competent.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

يقول تعالى مخبرا وحاكما بكفر النصارى في ادعائهم في المسيح ابن مريم - وهو عبد من عباد الله ، وخلق من خلقه - أنه هو الله الحكم بكفر النصارى ، تعالى الله عن قولهم علوا كبيرا .ثم قال مخبرا عن قدرته على الأشياء وكونها تحت قهره وسلطانه : ( قل فمن يملك من الله شيئا إن أراد أن يهلك المسيح ابن مريم وأمه ومن في الأرض جميعا ) أي : لو أراد ذلك ، فمن ذا الذي كان يمنعه ؟ أو من ذا الذي يقدر على صرفه عن ذلك؟ثم قال : ( ولله ملك السماوات والأرض وما بينهما يخلق ما يشاء ) أي : جميع الموجودات ملكه وخلقه ، وهو القادر على ما يشاء ، لا يسأل عما يفعل ، لقدرته وسلطانه ، وعدله وعظمته ، وهذا رد على النصارى عليهم لعائن الله المتتابعة إلى يوم القيامة .
