Surah Yasin ayat 25 Tafsir Quran 36:25

﴿إِنِّي آمَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاسْمَعُونِ﴾
[ يس: 25]

36:25 Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."

Lo! I believe in your Lord. So listen to me!’ in other words hear what I have to say; but they stoned him and he died.

Hear me, he said, as I declare that I have acknowledged Allah, your Creator, and accepted His system of faith and worship with a consenting mind and you shall bear witness to this declaration here and Hereafter

قَالَ يقَوْمِ اتَّبِعُواْ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ( He said: "O my people! Obey the Messengers." ) -- he urged his people to follow the Messengers who had come to them. اتَّبِعُواْ مَن لاَّ يَسْـَلُكُمْ أَجْراً ( Obey those who ask no wages of you, ) means, `for the Message which they convey to you, and they are rightly-guided in what they are calling you to, the worship of Allah Alone with no partner or associate.' وَمَا لِىَ لاَ أَعْبُدُ الَّذِى فَطَرَنِى ( And why should I not worship Him Who has created me ) means, `and what is there to stop me from sincerely worshipping the One Who has created me, and worshipping Him Alone, with no partner or associate' وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ ( and to Whom you shall be returned. ) means, `on the Day of Resurrection, when He will requite you for your deeds: if they are good then you will be rewarded and if they are evil then you will be punished.' أَءَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِ ءَالِهَةً ( Shall I take besides Him gods ) This is a rhetorical question intended to rebuke and chastise. إِن يُرِدْنِ الرَّحْمَـنُ بِضُرٍّ لاَّ تُغْنِ عَنِّى شَفَـعَتُهُمْ شَيْئاً وَلاَ يُنقِذُونَ ( If the Most Gracious intends me any harm, their intercession will be of no use for me whatsoever, nor can they save me. ) means, `these gods whom you worship instead of Him possess no power whatsoever, if Allah wills me some harm,' فَلاَ كَـشِفَ لَهُ إِلاَّ هُوَ ( none can remove it but He ) ( 6:17 ).
`These idols can neither cause any harm nor bring any benefit, and they cannot save me from the predicament I am in.' إِنِّى إِذاً لَّفِى ضَلَـلٍ مُّبِينٍ ( Then verily, I should be in plain error. ) means, `if I were to take them as gods instead of Allah.' إِنِّى ءَامَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاسْمَعُونِ ( Verily, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me! ) Ibn Ishaq said, quoting from what had reached him from Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Ka`b and Wahb, "He said to his people: إِنِّى ءَامَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ( `Verily, I have believed in your Lord ) in Whom you have disbelieved, فَاسْمَعُونِ ( so listen to me! )' means, listen to what I say." Or it may be that he was addressing the Messengers when he said: إِنِّى ءَامَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ( Verily, I have believed in your Lord, ) meaning, `Who has sent you,' فَاسْمَعُونِ ( so listen to me! ) meaning, `bear witness to that before Him.' This was narrated by Ibn Jarir, who said, "And others said that this was addressed to the Messengers, and he said to them: `Listen to what I say and bear witness to what I say before my Lord, that I have believed in your Lord and have followed you.' This interpretation is more apparent, and Allah knows best.
Ibn Ishaq said, quoting from what had reached him from Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Ka`b and Wahb, `When he said that, they turned on him as one, and killed him at once, and he had no one to protect him from that."' Qatadah said, "They started to stone him while he was saying, `O Allah, guide my people for they do not know, and they kept stoning him until he died a violent death, and he was still praying for them.' May Allah have mercy on him."

(36:25) I believe in your Lord; *21 so listen to me.'

Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, meaning

*21) This sentence again contains a subtle point of the wisdom of preaching.
Saying this the man made the people realize: " The Lord in Whom I have believed is not merely my Lord but your Lord, too.
I have committed no error by believing in Him, but you, in fact, are certainly committing an error by not believing in Him.
"

( Lo! I have believed in your Lord, so hear me ) so obey me regarding faith; it is also said that he said this to the apostles: ’I believe in your Lord, so be witnesses that I am the slave of Allah’. He was then taken away and killed, crucified and trodden upon until his entrails burst forth from his rectum.

Verily! I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me!"
