Quran 23:77 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn


Until hattā is for inceptiveness when We opened on them the gate of a severe chastisement namely the day of Badr slaying them behold! they are aghast thereat despairing of anything good.


Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim


They persisted in wrong -doing until We closed the gate of mercy in their faces and opened the gate of torture and put them to torment (that they may be brought back to their senses) But to the contrary. they only nursed despair which led to recklessness and to heedlessness arising from despair

Quran 23:77 Tafsir Ibn Kathir


وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَـهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ ( And indeed We seized them with punishment, ) means, `We tried and tested them with difficulties and calamities.' His saying: فَمَا اسْتَكَانُواْ لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ ( but they humbled not themselves to their Lord, nor did they invoke with submission to Him. ) means, that did not deter them from their disbelief and resistance, rather they persisted in their sin and misguidance, فَمَا اسْتَكَانُواْ ( but they humbled not themselves ) وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ ( nor did they invoke (Allah ) with submission to Him.
) they did not call on Him.
This is like the Ayah: فَلَوْلا إِذْ جَآءَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُواْ وَلَـكِن قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ( When Our torment reached them, why then did they not humble themselves But their hearts became hardened, ) 6:43 Ibn Abi Hatim recorded that Ibn `Abbas said, "Abu Sufyan came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, `O Muhammad, I ask you by Allah and by the ties of kinship between us, we have been reduced to eating camel hair and blood.' Then Allah revealed, وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَـهُمْ بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا اسْتَكَانُواْ ( And indeed We seized them with punishment, but they humbled not themselves. ) This was also recorded by An-Nasa'i.
The basis of this Hadith is in the Two Sahihs, where it says that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed against the Quraysh when he could not make any headway with them, and he said,
«اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَيْهِمْ بِسَبْعٍ كَسَبْعِ يُوسُف»
( O Allah, help me against them sending on them seven years (of famine ) like the seven ( years of drought ) of Yusuf.) حَتَّى إِذَا فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَاباً ذَا عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ إِذَا هُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ ( Until, when We open for them the gate of severe punishment, then lo! they will be plunged in despair. ) When the command of Allah reaches them and the Hour comes to them suddenly, and they are overtaken by the punishment of Allah which they were not expecting, then they will despair of any ease and goodness, and all their hopes will disappear. A reminder of the Blessings of Allah and His immense Power Then Allah mentions His blessings to His servants, in that He has given them hearing, sight and understanding through which they come to know things and draw lessons from them, the signs which attest to the Oneness of Allah and indicate that He is the One Who does what He wills and chooses what He wants. قَلِيلاً مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ ( Little thanks you give. ) means, how little you thank Allah for the blessings He has given you.
This is like the Ayah: وَمَآ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ( And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire it eagerly. ) 12:103 Then Allah tells us about His great power and overwhelming authority, for He is the One Who originated creation and put people in all parts of the earth, with their different nations, languages and characteristics, then on the Day of Resurrection He will gather them all together, the first of them and the last, at a fixed time on a day appointed, and none will be left out, young or old, male or female, noble or insignificant, but all will be brought back as they were originally created.
Allah said: وَهُوَ الَّذِى يُحْىِ وَيُمِيتُ ( And it is He Who gives life and causes death, ) meaning, He will bring the scattered bones back to life and cause the death of the nations, وَلَهُ اخْتِلَـفُ الَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ ( and His is the alternation of night and day.
)
meaning, by His command night and day are subjugated, each of them following the other and never departing from that pattern, as Allah says: لاَ الشَّمْسُ يَنبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تدْرِكَ القَمَرَ وَلاَ الَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ ( It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day )36:40. أَفَلاَ تَعْقِلُونَ ( Will you not then understand ) means, do you not have minds that tell you of the Almighty, All-Knowing to Whom all things are subjugated, Who has power over all things and to Whom all things submit The Idolators thought that Resurrection after Death was very unlikely Then Allah tells us about those who denied the resurrection, who were like the disbelievers who came before them: بَلْ قَالُواْ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الاٌّوَّلُونَ - قَالُواْ أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَاباً وَعِظَـماً أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ ( Nay, but they say the like of what the men of old said.
They said: "When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we be resurrected indeed" )
They thought it very unlikely that this would happen after they had disintegrated into nothing. لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا هَـذَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَـذَآ إِلاَّ أَسَـطِيرُ الاٌّوَّلِينَ ( "Verily, this we have been promised -- we and our fathers before (us )! This is only the tales of the ancients!") This means, "It is impossible that we could be brought back.
This was said by those who learned it from the books and disputes of the ancients." This denial and rejection on their part is like the Ayah where Allah tells us about them: أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَـماً نَّخِرَةً - قَالُواْ تِلْكَ إِذاً كَرَّةٌ خَـسِرَةٌ - فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَحِدَةٌ - فَإِذَا هُم بِالسَّاهِرَةِ ( "Even after we are crumbled bones" They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!" But it will be only a single Zajrah, When behold, they find themselves on the surface of the earth alive after their death. ) 79:11-14 أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الإِنسَـنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَـهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مٌّبِينٌ - وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلاً وَنَسِىَ خَلْقَهُ قَالَ مَن يُحىِ الْعِظَـمَ وَهِىَ رَمِيمٌ - قُلْ يُحْيِيهَا الَّذِى أَنشَأَهَآ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ خَلْقٍ عَلِيمٌ ( Does not man see that We have created him from Nutfah.
Yet behold he (stands forth )
as an open opponent.
And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation.
He says: "Who will give life to these bones after they are rotten and have become dust" Say: "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time! And He is the All-Knower of every creation!") 36:77-79 قُل لِّمَنِ الاٌّرْضُ وَمَن فِيهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ - سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفَلاَ تَذَكَّرُونَ - قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ السَّمَـوَتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ سَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّهِ قُلْ أَفَلاَ تَتَّقُونَ-

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(23:77) However, when We will smite them with a dreadful scourge, you will see that they will despair of all good and become desperate. *73

Until when We have opened before them meaning

*73) The Arabic word mublis is used for one whom frustration makes so desperate and obdurate that he dces not hesitate to resort to any crime.
The Devil has been called Iblis for the same reason.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs


( Until ) give them respite, O Muhammad, until ( when We open for them the gate of extreme punishment ) i.e. of hunger, ( behold! they are aghast thereat ) they despair of all goodness.


Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali

Until, when We open for them the gate of severe punishment, then lo! They will be plunged into destruction with deep regrets, sorrows and in despair.
