Translation — Tafsir

Word Meanings:

يُضْلِلِ (Yudlil): Causes to go astray or leads away from guidance.
وَلِيّ (Waliyy): Protector, guardian, or one who takes charge of another's affairs.
مَرَدّ (Maradd): A place of return or a way back (to the worldly life).

Explanation of the Verse:

When a person persists in injustice, oppression, and sin, Allah may abandon them to their own misguided choices as a consequence of their stubbornness and rebellion. For such a person, there is no protector, guide, or helper after Allah's decree of misguidance — no one who can rescue them from their state or lead them back to the path of righteousness. This is a profound warning: the ultimate source of guidance is Allah alone, and when He withholds it due to a person's deliberate wrongdoing, no other force in the universe can compensate for that loss.

Then the verse paints a vivid scene of the Day of Judgment: you, O Messenger, will see the wrongdoers — those who oppressed themselves through disbelief and disobedience — when they actually witness the punishment with their own eyes. At that terrifying moment, all their arrogance and denial crumbles, and they cry out in desperation: "Is there any way to go back to the worldly life?" They plead for another chance, hoping to return so they might repent, believe, and perform righteous deeds. But it will be too late — the opportunity has passed, and no road leads back.

A Call to Reflection and Action:

This verse carries a powerful lesson for every soul: the door of repentance is open *now*, in this life, before the curtain falls. Allah, in His infinite mercy, does not turn away a sincere seeker. He says in another verse: "Say: O My servants who have transgressed against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins" (Az-Zumar 39:53). So do not wait until you see the punishment to wish for a return — for that wish will not be granted then. Seize this precious moment of life, turn to your Lord with a humble heart, and let today be the day you choose guidance over misguidance, obedience over sin, and light over darkness. The path is open before you — walk it before it is sealed forever.

📜 Verse 42-46 — Ash-Shura

42إِنَّمَا السَّبِيلُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَظْلِمُونَ النَّاسَ وَيَبْغُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

The cause is only against the ones who wrong the people and tyrannize upon the earth without right. Those will have a painful punishment.

43وَلَمَن صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمِنْ عَزْمِ الْأُمُورِ

And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is of the matters [requiring] determination.

44وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن وَلِيٍّ مِّن بَعْدِهِ ۗ وَتَرَى الظَّالِمِينَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا الْعَذَابَ يَقُولُونَ هَلْ إِلَىٰ مَرَدٍّ مِّن سَبِيلٍ

And he whom Allah sends astray - for him there is no protector beyond Him. And you will see the wrongdoers, when they see the punishment, saying, "Is there for return [to the former world] any way?"

45وَتَرَاهُمْ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيْهَا خَاشِعِينَ مِنَ الذُّلِّ يَنظُرُونَ مِن طَرْفٍ خَفِيٍّ ۗ وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ الْخَاسِرِينَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۗ أَلَا إِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ فِي عَذَابٍ مُّقِيمٍ

And you will see them being exposed to the Fire, humbled from humiliation, looking from [behind] a covert glance. And those who had believed will say, "Indeed, the [true] losers are the ones who lost themselves and their families on the Day of Resurrection. Unquestionably, the wrongdoers are in an enduring punishment."

46وَمَا كَانَ لَهُم مِّنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ يَنصُرُونَهُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَمَن يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُ مِن سَبِيلٍ

And there will not be for them any allies to aid them other than Allah. And whoever Allah sends astray - for him there is no way.
