Surah Hud ayat 101 Tafsir Quran 11:101

﴿وَمَا ظَلَمْنَاهُمْ وَلَٰكِن ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ ۖ فَمَا أَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ آلِهَتُهُمُ الَّتِي يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ لَّمَّا جَاءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۖ وَمَا زَادُوهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيبٍ﴾
[ هود: 101]

11:101 And We did not wrong them, but they wronged themselves. And they were not availed at all by their gods which they invoked other than Allah when there came the command of your Lord. And they did not increase them in other than ruin.

And We did not wrong them destroying them for not having committed any sins but they wronged themselves through idolatry. Their gods did not avail defend them in any way min shay’in min is extra those gods upon whom they called whom they worshipped besides God that is other than Him when the command of your Lord His chastisement came; and they their gods — through their the disbelievers’ worship of these gods did not increase them in anything but ruin but loss.

Never did Allah do injustice to them nor did We deprive them wrongfully of anything, but it was they who imprudently wronged themselves. Nor did their gods they invoked besides Him avail them anything nor did they afford them help when the command of Allah, your Creator, came to pass. To the contrary, they added to their ruin and incurred their privation of Allahs mercy

The Lesson taken from the Destroyed Towns When Allah mentioned the story of the Prophets and what happened with them and their nations -- how He destroyed the disbelievers and saved the believers -- He goes on to say, ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنْبَآءِ الْقُرَى ( That is some of the news of the (population of ) towns) meaning, news of them نَقُصُّهُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهَا قَآئِمٌ ( which We relate unto you; of them, some are (still ) standing,) This means still remaining. وَحَصِيدٌ ( and some have been (already ) reaped.) This means totally destroyed. وَمَا ظَلَمْنَـهُمْ ( We wronged them not, ) This means, "When We destroyed them." وَلَـكِن ظَلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ ( but they wronged themselves. ) their rejecting their Messengers and disbelieving in them. فَمَا أَغْنَتْ عَنْهُمْ ءَالِهَتَهُمُ ( So their gods, profited them not... ) This is referring to their idols that they used to worship and invoke. مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ ( other than Allah naught ) the idols did not benefit them, nor did they save them when Allah's com- mand came for their destruction. وَمَا زَادُوهُمْ غَيْرَ تَتْبِيبٍ ( nor did they add aught to them but destruction. ) Mujahid, Qatadah and others said, "This means loss.
Because the reason for their destruction and their ruin was that they followed those false gods.
Therefore, they were losers in this life and the Hereafter."

( We wronged them not ) when We destroyed them, ( but they did wrong themselves ) by engaging in disbelief, idolatry and idol worship; ( and their gods on whom they call ) they worship ( beside Allah ) when Allah’s chastisement seized them ( availed them naught then came your Lords command ) your Lord’s punishment; ( they added to them ) the worship of idols ( naught save ruin ) loss.

We wronged them not, but they wronged themselves. So their aliha (gods), other than Allah, whom they invoked, profited them naught when there came the Command of your Lord, nor did they add aught (to their lot) but destruction.
