Tafsir

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

Al-An'am 6:44

Word by word

فَلَمَّا نَسُوا۟ مَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَٰبَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا فَرِحُوا۟ بِمَآ أُوتُوٓا۟ أَخَذْنَـٰهُم بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْلِسُونَ

So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We opened to them the doors of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were [then] in despair.

فلما تركوا العمل بأوامر الله تعالى معرضين عنها، فتحنا عليهم أبواب كل شيء من الرزق فأبدلناهم بالبأساء رخاءً في العيش، وبالضراء صحة في الأجسام; استدراجا منا لهم، حتى إذا بطروا، وأعجبوا بما أعطيناهم من الخير والنعمة أخذناهم بالعذاب فجأة، فإذا هم آيسون منقطعون من كل خير.
