Surah Fatir ayat 24 Tafsir Quran 35:24

﴿إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا ۚ وَإِن مِّنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَّا خَلَا فِيهَا نَذِيرٌ﴾
[ فاطر: 24]

35:24 Indeed, We have sent you with the truth as a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And there was no nation but that there had passed within it a warner.

Truly We have sent you with the truth with right guidance as a bearer of good tidings to him who responds to it and a warner to him who does not respond to it. And there is not a community but there has passed there has been in it a warner a prophet to warn it.

We have sent you with the spirit of truth guiding into all truth and never was there a nation but had a Messenger, a spectacle and a warning

The Believer and the Disbeliever are not equal Allah says that these antonyms are clearly not equal, the blind and the seeing are not equal, there is a difference and a huge gap between them.
Darkness and light are not equal, neither are shade and the sun's heat.
By the same token, the living and the dead are not equal.
This is the parable Allah makes of the believers who are the living, and the disbelievers who are the dead.
This is like the Ayat: أَوَمَن كَانَ مَيْتًا فَأَحْيَيْنَـهُ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُ نُورًا يَمْشِي بِهِ فِى النَّاسِ كَمَن مَّثَلُهُ فِي الظُّلُمَـتِ لَيْسَ بِخَارِجٍ مِّنْهَا كَذَلِكَ ( Is he who was dead and We gave him life and set for him a light (of belief ) whereby he can walk amongst men -- like him who is in the ( depths of ) darkness from which he can never come out) ( 6:122 ), مَثَلُ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ كَالاٌّعْمَى وَالاٌّصَمِّ وَالْبَصِيرِ وَالسَّمِيعِ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلاً ( The parable of the two parties is as that of the blind and the deaf and the seer and the hearer.
Are they equal when compared ) ( 11:24 ) The believer sees and hears, and walks in the light upon a straight path in this world and the Hereafter, until he comes to settle in Gardens ( Paradise ) wherein is shade and springs.
The disbeliever is blind and deaf, walking in darkness from which he cannot escape, he is lost in his misguidance in this world and the Hereafter, until he ends up in fierce hot wind and boiling water, and shadow of black smoke, neither cool nor good. إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُ ( Verily, Allah makes whom He wills to hear, ) means.
He guides them to listen to the proof and accept it and adhere it. وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِى الْقُبُورِ ( but you cannot make hear those who are in graves. ) means, `just as the dead cannot benefit from guidance and the call to truth after they have died as disbelievers and ended up in the graves, so too you cannot help these idolators who are decreed to be doomed, and you cannot guide them.' إِنْ أَنتَ إِلاَّ نَذِيرٌ You are only a warner means, all you have to do is to convey the Message and warn them, and Allah leaves astray whomsoever He wills and guides whomsoever He wills. إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَـكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا ( Verily, We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner. ) means, a bearer of glad tidings to the believers and a warner to the disbelievers. وَإِن مِّنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلاَّ خَلاَ فِيهَا نَذِيرٌ ( And there never was a nation but a warner had passed among them. ) means, there was never any nation among the sons of Adam but Allah sent warners to them, and left them with no excuse.
This is like the Ayat: إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرٌ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ ( You are only a warner, and to every people there is a guide ) ( 13:7 ). وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولاً أَنِ اعْبُدُواْ اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُواْ الْطَّـغُوتَ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلَـلَةُ ( And verily, We have sent among every Ummah a Messenger (proclaiming ): "Worship Allah, and avoid all false deities." Then of them were some whom Allah guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified) ( 16:36 ).
And there are many similar Ayat. وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَـتِ ( And if they deny you, those before them also denied.
Their Messengers came to them with clear signs, ) means, clear miracles and definitive proofs. وَبِالزُّبُرِ ( and with the Scriptures, ) means, the Books. وَبِالْكِتَـبِ الْمُنِيرِ ( and with the Book giving light. ) means, clear and obvious. ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ( Then I took hold of those who disbelieved, ) means, `despite all of this, they denied the Messengers and the Message they brought, so I seized them, i.e., with My punishment.' فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ and how terrible was My denial! means, how great and intense and terrible do you think My punishment was؟ And Allah knows best.

(35:24) We have sent you with the Truth to proclaim good news and to warn. Never has there been a nation but a warner came to it. *45

Indeed, We have sent you with the meaning

*45) That there has been no community in the world for whose guidance Allah did not appoint the Prophets, has been stated at several places in the Qur'an.
In Surah Ar-Ra'd: 7, it was said: " Every people has its guide ; " in Surah Al-Hijr: 10: " O Prophet, We have already sent Messengers before you among many of the ancient peoples; " in Surah An-Nahl: 36: " We sent to every community a Messenger; " and in Surah Ash-Shu'ara: 208: " We have never destroyed a habitation unless it had its warners to administer admonition.
" But, in this connection, one should note two things so that there remains no misunderstanding.
First, one and the same Prophet is enough for the lands to which his message may reach.
It is not necessary that Prophets be sent to every separate habitation and to every separate community.
Second, no new Prophet needs to be sent as long as the message and teaching and guidance given by a previous Prophet remains safe and intact.
It is not necessary that a separate Prophet be sent for every race and every generation.

 

The Believer and the Disbeliever are not equal Allah says that these antonyms are clearly not equal, the blind and the seeing are not equal, there is a difference and a huge gap between them.
Darkness and light are not equal, neither are shade and the sun's heat.
By the same token, the living and the dead are not equal.
This is the parable Allah makes of the believers who are the living, and the disbelievers who are the dead.
This is like the Ayat: أَوَمَن كَانَ مَيْتًا فَأَحْيَيْنَـهُ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُ نُورًا يَمْشِي بِهِ فِى النَّاسِ كَمَن مَّثَلُهُ فِي الظُّلُمَـتِ لَيْسَ بِخَارِجٍ مِّنْهَا كَذَلِكَ ( Is he who was dead and We gave him life and set for him a light (of belief ) whereby he can walk amongst men -- like him who is in the ( depths of ) darkness from which he can never come out) ( 6:122 ), مَثَلُ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ كَالاٌّعْمَى وَالاٌّصَمِّ وَالْبَصِيرِ وَالسَّمِيعِ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلاً ( The parable of the two parties is as that of the blind and the deaf and the seer and the hearer.
Are they equal when compared ) ( 11:24 ) The believer sees and hears, and walks in the light upon a straight path in this world and the Hereafter, until he comes to settle in Gardens ( Paradise ) wherein is shade and springs.
The disbeliever is blind and deaf, walking in darkness from which he cannot escape, he is lost in his misguidance in this world and the Hereafter, until he ends up in fierce hot wind and boiling water, and shadow of black smoke, neither cool nor good. إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُ ( Verily, Allah makes whom He wills to hear, ) means.
He guides them to listen to the proof and accept it and adhere it. وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِى الْقُبُورِ ( but you cannot make hear those who are in graves. ) means, `just as the dead cannot benefit from guidance and the call to truth after they have died as disbelievers and ended up in the graves, so too you cannot help these idolators who are decreed to be doomed, and you cannot guide them.' إِنْ أَنتَ إِلاَّ نَذِيرٌ You are only a warner means, all you have to do is to convey the Message and warn them, and Allah leaves astray whomsoever He wills and guides whomsoever He wills. إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَـكَ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا ( Verily, We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner. ) means, a bearer of glad tidings to the believers and a warner to the disbelievers. وَإِن مِّنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلاَّ خَلاَ فِيهَا نَذِيرٌ ( And there never was a nation but a warner had passed among them. ) means, there was never any nation among the sons of Adam but Allah sent warners to them, and left them with no excuse.
This is like the Ayat: إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرٌ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هَادٍ ( You are only a warner, and to every people there is a guide ) ( 13:7 ). وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولاً أَنِ اعْبُدُواْ اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُواْ الْطَّـغُوتَ فَمِنْهُم مَّنْ هَدَى اللَّهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ حَقَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الضَّلَـلَةُ ( And verily, We have sent among every Ummah a Messenger (proclaiming ): "Worship Allah, and avoid all false deities." Then of them were some whom Allah guided and of them were some upon whom the straying was justified) ( 16:36 ).
And there are many similar Ayat. وَإِن يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ جَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَـتِ ( And if they deny you, those before them also denied.
Their Messengers came to them with clear signs, ) means, clear miracles and definitive proofs. وَبِالزُّبُرِ ( and with the Scriptures, ) means, the Books. وَبِالْكِتَـبِ الْمُنِيرِ ( and with the Book giving light. ) means, clear and obvious. ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ ( Then I took hold of those who disbelieved, ) means, `despite all of this, they denied the Messengers and the Message they brought, so I seized them, i.e., with My punishment.' فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ and how terrible was My denial! means, how great and intense and terrible do you think My punishment was؟ And Allah knows best.

( Lo! We have sent thee ) O Muhammad ( with the Truth ) with the Qur’an, ( a bearer of glad tidings ) announcing Paradise for whoever believes in Allah ( and a warner ) from the Fire for whoever disbelieves in Allah; ( and there is not a nation but a warner has passed among them ) except that they had a warning messenger.

Verily! We have sent you with the truth, a bearer of glad tidings, and a warner. And there never was a nation but a warner had passed among them.
