Al-Kashshaf on Yunus 10:103

Surah Yunus 10:103



ﲙ ﲚ ﲛ ﲜ ﲝ ﲞ ﲟ ﲠ ﲡ ﲢ ﲣ

Then We will save our messengers and those who have believed. Thus, it is an obligation upon Us that We save the believers

{So do they wait for anything except...}

{The days of those who passed away before them} The events of God Almighty regarding them. Just as it is said: "The days of the Arabs" referring to their battles.

{Then We save Our messengers} This is conjoined to an omitted statement indicated by His saying: {except the likes of the days of those who passed away before them}. It is as if it were said: "We destroy the nations, then We save Our messengers," recounting past circumstances.

{And those who believed} And those who believed along with them.

{Likewise, We save the believers} In the same manner of salvation, We save the believers among you, and We destroy the polytheists.

{A duty upon Us} This is a parenthetical clause, meaning: that salvation is a duty upon Us, truly. It has also been recited as nunajjī (with the jīm doubled).

{Say, "O mankind, if you are in doubt as to my religion - then I do not worship those you worship besides Allah; but I worship Allah, who takes your souls. And I have been commanded to be of the believers."}
