Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 16:127

Open in Qurani

واصبر وما صبرك إﻻ بالله

And be patient, and your patience will not be but by the help of Allah. This emphasizes the command to be patient and tells us that patience cannot be acquired except by the will, help, decree and power of Allah. Then Allah says:

وﻻ تحزن عليهم

And do not grieve over them, meaning, those who oppose you, for Allah has decreed that this should happen.

وﻻ تك في ضيق

and do not be distressed, means do not be worried or upset.

مما يمكرون

by their plots. meaning; because of the efforts they are putting into opposing you and causing you harm, for Allah is protecting, helping, and supporting you, and He will cause you to prevail and defeat them

إن الله مع الذين اتقوا والذين هم محسنون
