Tafsir

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

Al-Hashr 59:19

Word by word

وَلَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ نَسُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَأَنسَىٰهُمْ أَنفُسَهُمْ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْفَـٰسِقُونَ

And be not like those who forgot Allāh, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient.

ولا تكونوا -أيها المؤمنون- كالذين تركوا أداء حق الله الذي أوجبه عليهم، فأنساهم بسبب ذلك حظوظ أنفسهم من الخيرات التي تنجيهم من عذاب يوم القيامة، أولئك هم الموصوفون بالفسق، الخارجون عن طاعة الله طاعة ورسوله.
