Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

حُكْمًا عَرَبِيًّا: A decisive, clear judgment revealed in the Arabic language.
أَهْوَاءَهُم: Their desires and whims—specifically, the false beliefs and practices they wish to impose.
وَلِيٍّ: A protector, ally, or one who takes charge of your affairs.
وَاقٍ: A defender or shield that guards against harm or punishment.

Tafsir (Explanation):

Just as Allah sent down His previous scriptures to His prophets in the languages of their own peoples to make the message clear and accessible, He sent down to you, O Prophet, the Qur’an as a decisive and just criterion—revealed in the pure Arabic tongue. It is a complete code of life, distinguishing truth from falsehood, and it carries the final and most comprehensive divine guidance for all of humanity.

And if you were to follow the desires of the disbelievers and the People of the Book—who seek to distort the truth and pull you away from what has been revealed—after the clear knowledge that has come to you from your Lord, then know that you would have no protector from Allah and no defender to shield you from His punishment. This is a stern warning directed to the Prophet ﷺ, but its message extends to every believer: the truth has been made manifest, and turning away from it—even slightly—in pursuit of worldly approval or compromise leaves one utterly exposed and without divine support.

This verse serves as a powerful reminder of the honor and responsibility of carrying this divine message. The Qur’an is not merely a book to be recited; it is a living constitution for justice, mercy, and righteousness. Its Arabic revelation was a deliberate choice, making it a timeless miracle that transcends geography and generation. Hold fast to it, for in it lies your success, your protection, and your salvation. Let this inspire you to cherish the Qur’an, study it, and implement it in your life—for whoever clings to it will never be led astray, and whoever abandons it has no true ally or guardian besides Allah.

📜 Verse 35-39 — Ar-Ra'd

35۞ مَّثَلُ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَ ۖ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ ۖ أُكُلُهَا دَائِمٌ وَظِلُّهَا ۚ تِلْكَ عُقْبَى الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوا ۖ وَّعُقْبَى الْكَافِرِينَ النَّارُ

The example of Paradise, which the righteous have been promised, is [that] beneath it rivers flow. Its fruit is lasting, and its shade. That is the consequence for the righteous, and the consequence for the disbelievers is the Fire.

36وَالَّذِينَ آتَيْنَاهُمُ الْكِتَابَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَمِنَ الْأَحْزَابِ مَن يُنكِرُ بَعْضَهُ ۚ قُلْ إِنَّمَا أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَلَا أُشْرِكَ بِهِ ۚ إِلَيْهِ أَدْعُو وَإِلَيْهِ مَآبِ

And [the believers among] those to whom We have given the [previous] Scripture rejoice at what has been revealed to you, [O Muhammad], but among the [opposing] factions are those who deny part of it. Say, "I have only been commanded to worship Allah and not associate [anything] with Him. To Him I invite, and to Him is my return."

37وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَاهُ حُكْمًا عَرَبِيًّا ۚ وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَاءَهُم بَعْدَمَا جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا وَاقٍ

And thus We have revealed it as an Arabic legislation. And if you should follow their inclinations after what has come to you of knowledge, you would not have against Allah any ally or any protector.

38وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّن قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً ۚ وَمَا كَانَ لِرَسُولٍ أَن يَأْتِيَ بِآيَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۗ لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍ كِتَابٌ

And We have already sent messengers before you and assigned to them wives and descendants. And it was not for a messenger to come with a sign except by permission of Allah. For every term is a decree.

39يَمْحُو اللَّهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ ۖ وَعِندَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ

Allah eliminates what He wills or confirms, and with Him is the Mother of the Book.
