Surah Najm ayat 30 Tafsir Quran 53:30

﴿ذَٰلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُم مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اهْتَدَىٰ﴾
[ النجم: 30]

53:30 That is their sum of knowledge. Indeed, your Lord is most knowing of who strays from His way, and He is most knowing of who is guided.

That namely the desire of this world is the full extent of their knowledge that is the limit of their knowledge namely that they have preferred this life to that of the Hereafter. Truly your Lord knows best those who have strayed from His way and He knows best those who are rightly guided He has knowledge of both and will requite both.

For this is the ultimate end and the highest attainable point of their intellectual acquaintance with, and perception of, the facts and the truth. Allah is He Who knows best those who wandered from His path, the path of righteousness, and those who have been guided by the spirit of truth into all truth

Refuting the Claim of the Idolators that the Angels are Allah's Daughters Allah the Exalted admonishes the idolators for calling the angels female names and claiming that they are Allah's daughters.
Allah is far removed from what they ascribe to Him.
Allah the Exalted said in another Ayah, وَجَعَلُواْ الْمَلَـئِكَةَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَادُ الرَّحْمَـنِ إِنَـثاً أَشَهِدُواْ خَلْقَهُمْ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَـدَتُهُمْ وَيُسْـَلُونَ ( And they make females the angels, who themselves are servants of the Most Gracious.
Did they witness their creation Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned! )( 43:19 ) Allah's statement here, وَمَا لَهُم بِهِ مِنْ عِلْمٍ ( But they have no knowledge thereof. ) meaning, they have no correct knowledge testifying to their statements.
What they say is all lies, falsehood, fake and utter atheism, إِن يَتَّبِعُونَ إِلاَّ الظَّنَّ وَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ لاَ يُغْنِى مِنَ الْحَقِّ شَيْئاً ( They follow but conjecture, and verily, conjecture is no substitute for the truth. ) meaning, conjecture is of no benefit and never takes the place of truth.
In a Hadith recorded in the Sahih, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,
«إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظَّنَّ، فَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ أَكْذَبُ الْحَدِيث»
( Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the most lying speech. ) The Necessity of turning away from the People of Misguidance Allah's statement, فَأَعْرِضْ عَن مَّن تَوَلَّى عَن ذِكْرِنَا ( Therefore withdraw from him who turns away from Our Reminder ), means, stay away from those who turn away from the Truth and shun them, وَلَمْ يُرِدْ إِلاَّ الْحَيَوةَ الدُّنْيَا ( and desires nothing but the life of this world. ) meaning, whose aim and knowledge are concentrated on this life; this is the goal of those who have no goodness in them, ذَلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُمْ مِّنَ الْعِلْمِ ( That is what they could reach of knowledge. ) meaning, seeking this life and striving hard in its affairs is the best knowledge they have acquired.
There is also the reported supplication:
«اللْهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا، وَلَا مَبْلَغَ عِلْمِنَا»
( O Allah! Make not this life the greatest of our concerns nor the best knowledge that we can attain. ) Allah's statement, إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن ضَلَّ عَن سَبِيلِهِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنِ اهْتَدَى ( Verily, your Lord is He, Who knows best him who goes astray from His path, and He knows best him who receives guidance. ) meaning, He is the Creator of all creatures and He knows whatever benefits His servants.
Allah is the One Who guides whom He wills and misguides whom He wills, and all of this indicates His power, knowledge and wisdom.
Certainly, He is Just and never legislates or decrees unjustly.

(53:30) that *26 being the utmost of their knowledge. *27 Surely your Lord fully knows those who have strayed away from His Path and He also fully knows those who are rightly guided.

That is their sum of knowledge. Indeed, meaning

*26) This is a parenthetical sentence which has been inserted here as an explanation of the preceding verse.

*27) That is, " These people neither know nor can think anything beyond the world and its immediate gains; therefore, it is futile merely to expend time and energy on them.

( Such is their sum of knowledge ) such is the extent at which their knowledge, intellect and opinion end, since they claimed that the angels are Allah’s daughters and that there is no Hereafter. ( Lo! thy Lord ) O Muhammad ( is best aware of him who strayeth ) from His religion, in reference here to Abu Jahl, ( and He is best aware of him who goeth right ) to His religion, in reference here to Abu Bakr.

That is what they could reach of knowledge. Verily, your Lord it is He Who knows best him who goes astray from His Path, and He knows best him who receives guidance.
