Surah Yasin — Verse 76

Word Meanings:

• لَا يَحْزُنكَ — Do not let it grieve you or cause you distress.
• قَوْلُهُمْ — Their speech, referring to the mockery, denial, and false accusations of the disbelievers.
• يُسِرُّونَ — What they conceal in their hearts and keep hidden.
• يُعْلِنُونَ — What they openly declare and say with their tongues.

Tafsir (Explanation):

O Messenger, do not let the words of those who deny you and mock your message weigh heavily on your heart. Their claims that you are not a true messenger, their accusations that you are merely a poet or a madman, and their relentless ridicule are nothing but empty falsehoods. Allah, your Lord, hears every word they utter and sees every intention they harbor. Nothing escapes His knowledge—not the secrets they bury deep within their chests, nor the slanders they proclaim openly in public gatherings. He knows their plots, their schemes, and their ultimate end. And because He knows all, He will hold them fully accountable for every single thing they have said and done. Their punishment is certain, and their fate is sealed in His perfect justice.

A Call to the Reader:

This verse carries a profound comfort for every believer who faces rejection or mockery for the sake of truth. When people belittle your faith, ridicule your devotion, or spread lies about you, remember that Allah sees and knows all. Your duty is not to be consumed by grief or despair, but to remain steadfast, knowing that the One who created the heavens and the earth is fully aware of every whisper and every declaration. Let this be a source of strength: the oppressor may seem triumphant for a while, but Allah’s knowledge is perfect, His justice is absolute, and His promise to the truthful is never broken. So take heart, persevere with patience, and trust in the One who never abandons His sincere servants.
