Tafsir

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

Al-An'am 6:107

Word by word

وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مَآ أَشْرَكُوا۟ ۗ وَمَا جَعَلْنَـٰكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظًا ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ عَلَيْهِم بِوَكِيلٍ

But if Allāh had willed, they would not have associated. And We have not appointed you over them as a guardian, nor are you a manager over them.

ولو شاء الله تعالى أن لا يشرك هؤلاء المشركون لما أشركوا، لكنه تعالى عليم بما سيكون من سوء اختيارهم واتباعهم أهواءهم المنحرفة. وما جعلناك -أيها الرسول- عليهم رقيبًا تحفظ عليهم أعمالهم، وما أنت بقَيِّمٍ عليهم تدبر مصالحهم.
