Surah Hajj ayat 16 Tafsir Quran 22:16

﴿وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَاهُ آيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِي مَن يُرِيدُ﴾
[ الحج: 16]

22:16 And thus have We sent the Qur'an down as verses of clear evidence and because Allah guides whom He intends.

So just as We revealed the previous verse We revealed it that is the remainder of the Qur’ān as clear signs manifest signs bayyināt ‘clear signs’ is a circumstantial qualifier and indeed God guides whomever He desires that he be guided wa-anna’Llāha yahdī man yurīdu a supplement to the suffixed pronoun hā’ ‘it’ of anzalnāhu ‘We revealed it’.

Thus did We reveal it -the Quran- embodying clear and plain revelations guiding out of darkness and superstition of later times and out of want of spiritual and intellectual sight into illumination and enlightenment; Allah does indeed guide whom He will

Allah will definitely help His Messenger Ibn `Abbas said, "Whoever thinks that Allah will not help Muhammad ﷺ in this world and the Hereafter, let him stretch out a rope إِلَى السَّمَآءِ ( to the ceiling ) to the ceiling in his house, ثُمَّ لْيَقْطَعْ ( and let him strangle himself. ) let him hang himself with it." This was also the view of Mujahid, `Ikrimah, `Ata', Abu Al-Jawza', Qatadah and others.
The meaning is: whoever thinks that Allah will not support Muhammad ﷺ and His Book and His Religion, let him go and kill himself if it annoys him so much.
For Allah will most certainly help and support him.
Allah says: إِنَّا لَنَنصُرُ رُسُلَنَا وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ فِى الْحَيَوةِ الدُّنْيَا وَيَوْمَ يَقُومُ الاٌّشْهَـدُ ( Verily, We will indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe in this world's life and on the Day when the witnesses will stand forth. ) 40:51.
Allah says here: فَلْيَنْظُرْ هَلْ يُذْهِبَنَّ كَيْدُهُ مَا يَغِيظُ ( Then let him see whether his plan will remove that whereat he rages! ) As-Suddi said, "Meaning, in the case of Muhammad " `Ata' Al-Khurasani said, "Let him see whether that will cure the rage he feels in his heart." وَكَذلِكَ أَنزَلْنَـهُ ( Thus have We sent it down ) the Qur'an. ءَايَـتٌ بَيِّنَـتٌ ( as clear Ayat, ) clear in its wording and its meaning, evidence from Allah to mankind. وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَهْدِى مَن يُرِيدُ ( and surely, Allah guides whom He wills. ) He sends astray whomsoever He wills and He guides whomsoever He wills, and He has complete wisdom and definitive proof in doing so. لاَ يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْـَلُونَ ( He cannot be questioned about what He does, while they will be questioned. ) 21:23.
Because of His wisdom, mercy, justice, knowledge, dominion and might, no one can overturn His ruling, and He is swift in bringing to account.

( Thus We reveal it as plain revelations ) thus We send Gabriel with revelations, expositing the lawful and the unlawful ( and verily Allah guideth ) to His religion ( whom He will ) whoever deserves it.

Thus have We sent it (this Quran) down (to Muhammad SAW) as clear signs, evidences and proofs, and surely, Allah guides whom He wills.
