Tafsir Ibn Kathir on Ar-Ra'd 13:41

Surah Ar-Ra'd 13:41



ﲽ ﲾ ﲿ ﳀ ﳁ ﳂ ﳃ ﳄ ﳅ ﳆ ﳇ ﳈ ﳉ ﳊ ﳋ ﳌ ﳍ ﳎ

Have they not seen that We set upon the land, reducing it from its borders? And Allah decides; there is no adjuster of His decision. And He is swift in account.

أولم يروا أنا نٲتي اﻻرض ننقصها من أطرافها

See they not that We gradually reduce the land from its outlying borders. Ibn Abbas commented, "See they not that We are granting land after land to Muhammad!'' Al-Hasan and Ad-Dahhak commented that; this Ayah refers to Muslims gaining the upper hand over idolators, just as Allah said in another Ayah,

ولقد أهلكنا ما حولكم من القرى

And indeed We have destroyed towns round about you. (46:27)

والله يحكم ﻻ معقب لحكمه

وهو سريع الحساب

And Allah judges, there is none to put back His judgement, and He is swift at reckoning
