Surah Ankabut ayat 43 Tafsir Quran 29:43

﴿وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ ۖ وَمَا يَعْقِلُهَا إِلَّا الْعَالِمُونَ﴾
[ العنكبوت: 43]

29:43 And these examples We present to the people, but none will understand them except those of knowledge.

And such similitudes in the Qur’ān We strike them We coin them for the sake of mankind; but none understands them none grasp them except those who know those who reflect.

Such parables do We discourse to people -that they might hopefully ponder-. Such examples and illustrations are only grasped with the minds of those who know the facts and apprehend them with their senses

The parable of those who seek protectors from other than Allah is that of a spider who builds a house; but indeed, the weakest of houses is the spider's house – if they but knew ( 41 )Verily, Allah knows what things they invoke instead of Him.
He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise ( 42 )And these are the examples We give for mankind; but none will understand them except those who have knowledge ( of Allah )( 43 ) Likening the gods of the Idolators to the House of a Spider This is how Allah described the idolators in their reverence of gods besides Him, hoping that they would help them and provide for them, and turning to them in times of difficulties.
In this regard, they were like the house of a spider, which is so weak and frail, because by clinging to these gods they were like a person who holds on to a spider's web, who does not gain any benefit from that.
If they knew this, they would not take any protectors besides Allah.
This is unlike the Muslim believer, whose heart is devoted to Allah, yet he still does righteous deeds and follows the Laws of Allah, for he has grasped the most trustworthy handle that will never break because it is so strong and firm. Then Allah warns those who worship others besides Him and associate others with Him that He knows what they do and the rivals they associate with Him.
He will punish them for their attribution, for He is All-Wise and All-Knowing.
Then He says: وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ ۖ وَمَا يَعْقِلُهَا إِلَّا الْعَالِمُونَ ( And these are the examples We give for mankind; but none will understand them except those who have knowledge. ) meaning, no one understands them or ponders them except those who are possessed of deep knowledge.
Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that 'Amr bin Murrah said, "I never came across an Ayah of the Book of Allah that I did not know, but it grieved me, because I heard that Allah says: وَتِلْكَ الْأَمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ ۖ وَمَا يَعْقِلُهَا إِلَّا الْعَالِمُونَ ( And these are the examples We give for mankind; but none will understand them except those who have knowledge. )"

( As for these similitudes, We coin them ) We explain them ( for mankind, but none will grasp their meaning ) i.e. the meaning of the similitude of the Qur’an ( save the wise ) those who profess Allah’s divine Oneness.

And these similitudes We put forward for mankind, but none will understand them except those who have knowledge (of Allah and His Signs, etc.).
