Surah Muhammad ayat 14 Tafsir Quran 47:14

﴿أَفَمَن كَانَ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِ كَمَن زُيِّنَ لَهُ سُوءُ عَمَلِهِ وَاتَّبَعُوا أَهْوَاءَهُم﴾
[ محمد: 14]

47:14 So is he who is on clear evidence from his Lord like him to whom the evil of his work has been made attractive and they follow their [own] desires?

Is he who follows a clear sign a definitive argument and proof from his Lord and these are the believers like those whose evil deeds have been adorned for them so that they see them as fair deeds and these are the disbelievers of Mecca and who follow their desires? by worshipping graven images. In other words there is no similarity between the two.

Can he who has acknowledged the truth captivating his hearts ears and his minds eyes compare with him whose deeds of evil and iniquity allured his minds eyes and induced him to hug his irreverent conviction to his heart? Or can he compare with such persons who have entertained sensuous notions and in vain have wasted their days

(47:14) Then, can he, who is on a Clear Guidance from His Lord, be like him whose evil deeds have been embellished to him, and who pursued their lusts? *19

So is he who is on clear meaning

*18) The Holy Prophet was sorely distressed on leaving Makkah.
When he was compelled to emigrate, he had stood facing the city outside it and said: " O Makkah, you are the most beloved city in the sight of AIIah, and I have the greatest love for you out of all the cities of Allah; if the polytheists had not driven me out I would never have left you. " About this it has been said: " After driving you out of the city the people of Makkah think that they have achieved a great success, whereas, in fact, they have hastened only their own ruin by this evil act. " The style of the verse clearly indicates that it must have been sent, down close after the Hijrah.

*19) That is, " How is it possible that when the Prophet and his followers have been guided by God to a clear and straight path and they have started following it in the light of full knowledge and vision, they should walk along, with those who are still persisting in their ways of ignorance, who regard their deviation as guidance and their evildoing as a praiseworthy thing, and who judge on the basis of their personal desires, and not by argument as to what is the truth and what is falsehood.
Now, neither can the lives of these two groups be alike in this world nor can their end be alike in the Hereafter. "
 

( Is he who relieth on a clear proof ) and a religion ( from his Lord ) i.e. Muhammad ( pbuh ) ( like those for whom the evil that they do is beautified ) like him whose evil works are beautified, i.e. Abu Jahl ( while they follow their own lusts ) through the worship of idols?

Is he who is on a clear proof from his Lord, like those for whom their evil deeds that they do are beautified for them, while they follow their own lusts (evil desires)?
