📖 Translation (English Meaning)

📖 English Meaning

And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, you recognize in the faces of those who disbelieve disapproval. They are almost on the verge of assaulting those who recite to them Our verses. Say, "Then shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that? [It is] the Fire which Allah has promised those who disbelieve, and wretched is the destination."

Translation — Tafsir

Key Words and Meanings:

يَسْطُونَ (yasṭūna): to assault, attack, or pounce upon someone with aggression and force.
الْمُنكَرَ (al-munkar): here refers to the visible signs of disapproval, anger, and aversion.
بَيِّنَاتٍ (bayyināt): clear, manifest, and self-evident verses.
تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ (ta‘rifu fī wujūhihim): you can plainly see and recognize on their faces.
أُنَبِّئُكُم (unabbi’ukum): shall I inform or tell you.

Explanation of the Verse:

When the clear verses of Allah are recited to the disbelievers, you can see on their faces the unmistakable marks of disgust and hostility. Their faces darken, their expressions harden, and anger radiates from them. They are so enraged by the truth that they can barely restrain themselves from physically attacking those who recite the verses of Allah to them. Such is their hatred for the message of guidance that they wish to silence it by force.

Then Allah instructs His Prophet (peace be upon him) to say to them: "Shall I tell you of something far worse than this anger and aversion you feel? It is the Fire of Hell, which Allah has promised to the disbelievers. And what an evil destination it is!"

This verse serves as a powerful reminder that the temporary anger and discomfort the disbelievers feel upon hearing the truth is nothing compared to the eternal punishment that awaits them if they persist in their rejection. The reciters of the Qur’an, on the other hand, are promised the highest ranks in Paradise for their patience and steadfastness in conveying the message.

Reflection and Da‘wah:

Dear reader, reflect on the profound mercy of Allah in this verse. He does not merely warn the disbelievers; He invites them to reconsider before it is too late. The Prophet (peace be upon him) was commanded to speak to them with gentleness even in the face of their hostility, offering them the chance to turn back. This teaches us the beautiful character of Islam: to respond to hatred with wisdom and to never cease calling others to the truth, no matter how harsh their reaction.

If you find yourself among those who feel discomfort when the Qur’an is recited, know that this is a sign of a heart that has not yet surrendered to its Creator. The Qur’an is not a burden; it is a healing for what is in the breasts. Open your heart to it, and you will find peace that surpasses all understanding. The fire of anger in this world is fleeting, but the Fire of Hell is eternal. Choose the path of guidance today, and you will be saved from a destiny that is truly evil.

📜 Verse 70-74 — Al-Hajj

70أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۗ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ فِي كِتَابٍ ۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيرٌ

Do you not know that Allah knows what is in the heaven and earth? Indeed, that is in a Record. Indeed that, for Allah, is easy.

71وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَزِّلْ بِهِ سُلْطَانًا وَمَا لَيْسَ لَهُم بِهِ عِلْمٌ ۗ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِن نَّصِيرٍ

And they worship besides Allah that for which He has not sent down authority and that of which they have no knowledge. And there will not be for the wrongdoers any helper.

72وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا بَيِّنَاتٍ تَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الْمُنكَرَ ۖ يَكَادُونَ يَسْطُونَ بِالَّذِينَ يَتْلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِنَا ۗ قُلْ أَفَأُنَبِّئُكُم بِشَرٍّ مِّن ذَٰلِكُمُ ۗ النَّارُ وَعَدَهَا اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ۖ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ

73يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ضُرِبَ مَثَلٌ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ ۚ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ لَن يَخْلُقُوا ذُبَابًا وَلَوِ اجْتَمَعُوا لَهُ ۖ وَإِن يَسْلُبْهُمُ الذُّبَابُ شَيْئًا لَّا يَسْتَنقِذُوهُ مِنْهُ ۚ ضَعُفَ الطَّالِبُ وَالْمَطْلُوبُ

O people, an example is presented, so listen to it. Indeed, those you invoke besides Allah will never create [as much as] a fly, even if they gathered together for that purpose. And if the fly should steal away from them a [tiny] thing, they could not recover it from him. Weak are the pursuer and pursued.

74مَا قَدَرُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ قَدْرِهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ

They have not appraised Allah with true appraisal. Indeed, Allah is Powerful and Exalted in Might.
