Surah Al Isra ayat 75 Tafsir Quran 17:75

﴿إِذًا لَّأَذَقْنَاكَ ضِعْفَ الْحَيَاةِ وَضِعْفَ الْمَمَاتِ ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ لَكَ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيرًا﴾
[ الإسراء: 75]

17:75 Then [if you had], We would have made you taste double [punishment in] life and double [after] death. Then you would not find for yourself against Us a helper.

Then had you inclined We would have surely made you taste a double chastisement in life and a double chastisement upon death in other words twice the chastisement that any other person would receive in this world and the Hereafter. Then you would not have found for yourself any helper against Us anyone to shield you from it.

But then, by consequence, We would have made you taste a double punishment in life and at death, besides the second death, and no protector would be found to render void Our decree

(17:75) But if you had done so, We would have made you taste double chastisement in this world as well as in the Hereafter: then you would have found no helper against Us. *88

Then [if you had], We would have meaning

*88) This review implies two things: ( 1 ) " If you had compromised with falsehood after recognizing the Truth, you might have pleased your degenerate people but would have incurred the wrath of Allah and would have received double chastisement both in this world and in the Hereafter. " ( 2 ) " No man, not even a Messenger of Allah, can fight single-handed against the deceitful methods of falsehood, unless he receives the succour of Allah. " It was the fortitude which Allah had bestowed upon the Holy Prophet, which helped him to retrain steadfast on the right position he had taken, so that no persecution, howsoever great, could turn him away in the least from that position.

 

( Then ) if you had granted to them what they requested ( had We made thee taste a double (punishment ) of living) the chastisement of this worldly life ( and a double (punishment ) of dying) the chastisement of the Hereafter, ( then hadst thou found no helper against Us ) you would not find anyone to save you from Us.

In that case, We would have made you taste a double portion (of punishment) in this life and a double portion (of punishment) after death. And then you would have found none to help you against Us.
