Tafsir

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 34:43

Open in Qurani

The Saying of the Disbelievers about the Prophets, and its refutation Allah tells;

وإذا تتلى عليهم آياتنا بينات

And when Our Clear Verses are recited to them, Allah tells us that the disbeliever deserve to be severely punished by Him, because when His clear Verses were recited to them, and they heard them fresh from the lips of His Messenger, they said:

قالوا ما هذا إﻻ رجل يريد أن يصدكم عما كان يعبد آباوكم

They say: "This is naught but a man who wishes to hinder you from that which your fathers used to worship.'' meaning, that the religion of their fathers was the truth and that what the Messenger brought to them was false -- may the curse of Allah be upon them and their fathers!

وقالوا ما هذا إﻻ إفك مفترى

And they say: "This is nothing but an invented lie.'' referring to the Qur'an.

وقال الذين كفروا للحق لما جاءهم إن هذا إﻻ سحر مبين

And those who disbelieve say of the truth when it has come to them: "This is nothing but evident magic!'' Allah says:

وما آتيناهم من كتب يدرسونها وما أرسلنا إليهم قبلك من نذير
