Tafsir Ibn Kathir on Al-An'am 6:43

Surah Al-An'am 6:43



ﲸ ﲹ ﲺ ﲻ ﲼ ﲽ ﲾ ﲿ ﳀ ﳁ ﳂ ﳃ ﳄ ﳅ

Then why, when Our punishment came to them, did they not humble themselves? But their hearts became hardened, and Satan made attractive to them that which they were doing.

فلوﻻ إذ جاءهم بٲسنا تضرعوا

When Our torment reached them, why then did they not believe with humility, Meaning: Why do they not believe and humble themselves before Us when We test them with disaster!'

ولكن قست قلوبهم

But their hearts became hardened, for their hearts are not soft or humble,

وزين لهم الشيطان ما كانوا يعملون

and Shaytan made fair-seeming to them that which they used to do. That is, Shirk, defiance and rebellion
