Tafsir

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

Al-An'am 6:39

Word by word

وَٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَا صُمٌّ وَبُكْمٌ فِى ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ ۗ مَن يَشَإِ ٱللَّهُ يُضْلِلْهُ وَمَن يَشَأْ يَجْعَلْهُ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

But those who deny Our verses are deaf and dumb within darknesses. Whomever Allāh wills - He sends astray; and whomever He wills - He puts him on a straight path.

والذين كذبوا بحجج الله تعالى صمٌّ لا يسمعون ما ينفعهم، بُكْمٌ لا يتكلمون بالحق، فهم حائرون في الظلمات، لم يختاروا طريقة الاستقامة. من يشأ الله إضلاله يضلله، ومن يشأ هدايته يجعله على صراط مستقيم.
