Tafsir

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

At-Tawbah 9:129

Word by word

فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

But if they turn away, [O Muḥammad], say, "Sufficient for me is Allāh; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne."

فإن أعرض المشركون والمنافقون عن الإيمان بك -أيها الرسول- فقل لهم: حسبي الله، يكفيني جميع ما أهمَّني، لا معبود بحق إلا هو، عليه اعتمدت، وإليه فَوَّضْتُ جميع أموري; فإنه ناصري ومعيني، وهو رب العرش العظيم، الذي هو أعظم المخلوقات.
