Tafsir

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

Al-An'am 6:37

Word by word

وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦ ۚ قُلْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَادِرٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُنَزِّلَ ءَايَةً وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

And they say, "Why has a sign not been sent down to him from his Lord?" Say, "Indeed, Allāh is Able to send down a sign, but most of them do not know."

وقال المشركون -تعنتًا واستكبارًا-: هلا أنزل الله علامة تدل على صدق محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم من نوع العلامات الخارقة، قل لهم -أيها الرسول-: إن الله قادر على أن ينزل عليهم آية، ولكن أكثرهم لا يعلمون أن إنزال الآيات إنما يكون وَفْق حكمته تعالى.
