أَكَانَ لِلنَّاسِ عَجَبًا أَنْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ رَجُلٍۢ مِّنْهُمْ أَنْ أَنذِرِ ٱلنَّاسَ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَنَّ لَهُمْ قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ ۗ قَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ ۝٢

Was it a wonder to the people that We revealed to a man (i.e., Muḥammad) from among themselves, saying: “Warn the people, and give good news to those who believe that they have a firm footing with their Lord”?! The unbelievers say, “This man is surely an obivous sorcerer.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

When affliction touches a man, he calls Us while lying on his side, or while sitting or even while standing.

When distress befalls man, he supplicates Us, [lying] on his side, sitting, or standing; but when We remove his distress, he passes on as if he had never supplicated Us concerning the distress that had befallen him.

When Our clear revelations are recited to the idol-worshippers of Mecca, those who do not hope to meet Us say, “Bring a Qur’ān other than this, or, at the least, change it to accommodate our ideas.” O Muḥammad, say, “It is not right for me to change it of my own accord.

O Muḥammad, say, “I cannot accept your request because whatever I say is not from me; it is from Allāh. If Allāh had wished, I would not even have recited the revelation to you in the first place, nor would He have taught it to you. O people of Mecca, I have lived among you a lifetime before the revelation, and you know that I never brought such messages before. You also testify to my truthfulness and know that no one has taught me—so do you not then understand that what I have brought to you is not my invention; rather, it is a message of God?!”S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Say, ‘Had Allah [so] wished, I would not have recited it to you, nor would He have made it known to you, for I have dwelled among you for a lifetime before it. Do you not exercise your reason?’Ali Quli Qarai

The Meccan polytheists worship besides Allāh the idols that can neither harm them nor benefit them, and they say, “These are our intercessors with God.” O Muḥammad, say, “By saying this, do you intend to inform Allāh of what He does not know in the heavens and the earth?! Glory be to Him! He is exalted above what they associate with Him.”S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

They worship besides Allah that which neither causes them any harm, nor brings them any benefit, and they say, ‘These are our intercessors with Allah.’ Say, ‘Will you inform Allah about something He does not know in the heavens or on the earth?’ Immaculate is He and exalted above [having] any partners that they ascribe [to Him]!Ali Quli Qarai

And they worship other than Allāh that which neither harms them nor benefits them, and they say, "These are our intercessors with Allāh."

In the beginning, people were but one united community, then they differed about the divine guidance—some accepted it, others rejected it. Had not a word —about deferring their punishment to the day of judgement— preceded from your Lord, the matter would have been immediately resolved about which they differed.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

Mankind were but a single [religious] community; then they differed. And were it not for a prior decree of your Lord, decision would have been made between them concerning that about which they differ.Ali Quli Qarai

The Meccans also say, “Why has not a sign, other than the Qur’ān, been sent down to him (i.e., Muḥammad) from his Lord?” O Muḥammad, say, “The sign comes from the realm of the unseen (al-ghayb)—and the unseen belongs only to Allāh; therefore wait, I too am waiting with you.”S.

When We make the people of Mecca taste mercy (i.e., the Qur’ān) after an affliction (i.e., ignorance) has visited them, lo! they devise plans against Our revelations. O Muḥammad, say, “Allāh is swifter at devising plans against you.” Surely the angels who act as Our messengers are writing down what you are devising.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

When We let people taste [Our] mercy after a distress that has befallen them, behold, they scheme against Our signs! Say, ‘Allah is more swift at devising.’ Indeed Our messengers write down what you scheme.Ali Quli Qarai

And when We give the people a taste of mercy after adversity has touched them, at once they conspire against Our verses. Say, "Allāh is swifter in strategy." Indeed, Our messengers [i.e., angels] record that which you conspire.Saheeh International

He is the one Who makes you travel on land and sea. Yet you don’t appreciate His help until when you are in the ships that sail with the passengers in a pleasant breeze, and they rejoice at it, there comes upon them a strong wind and the waves come on them from every side, and they fear that they have been encompassed— they call upon Allāh, being sincere to Him in regard to the religion by praying: “If You deliver us from this situation, we shall surely be among the grateful ones.”S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

It is He who carries you across land and sea. When you are in the ships, and they sail along with them with a favourable wind, exulting in it, there comes upon them a tempestuous wind and waves assail them from every side, and they think that they are besieged, they invoke Allah putting exclusive faith in Him, ‘If You deliver us from this, we will surely be among the grateful.’Ali Quli Qarai

It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea until, when you are in ships and they sail with them by a good wind and they rejoice therein, there comes a storm wind and the waves come upon them from every place and they expect to be engulfed, they supplicate Allāh, sincere to Him in religion, "If You should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful."Saheeh International

But when He delivers them, lo! they wrongfully become insolent in the earth. “O people! Your insolence is only against yourselves; it is only a provision of the present life—eventually unto Us shall be your return, then We shall inform you of what you were doing.”S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

But when He delivers them, behold, they commit violations on the earth unduly! O mankind! Your violations are only to your own detriment. [These are] the wares of the life of this world; then to Us will be your return, whereat We will inform you concerning what you used to do.Ali Quli Qarai

The parable of the present life is as the water which We send down from the cloud: it mingles with the plants of the earth (which people and cattle eat) until the earth gets its vanity and becomes beautiful with its gardens and crops, and its inhabitants start to think that they have power over it. But then Our command (in the form of a natural disaster) comes to it by night or day and destroys it, and thus We change it into a field which has already been harvested as though yesterday it was not rich with crops at all. In this way, We make clear the revelations about the worldly life for the people who reflect.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

The parable of the life of this world is that of water which We send down from the sky. It mingles with the earth’s vegetation from which humans and cattle eat. When the earth puts on its luster and is adorned, and its inhabitants think they have power over it, Our edict comes to it, by night or day, whereat We turn it into a mown field, as if it did not flourish the day before. Thus do We elaborate the signs for a people who reflect.Ali Quli Qarai

The example of [this] worldly life is but like rain which We have sent down from the sky that the plants of the earth absorb - [those] from which men and livestock eat - until, when the earth has taken on its adornment and is beautified and its people suppose that they have capability over it, there comes to it Our command by night or by day, and We make it as a harvest, as if it had not flourished yesterday. Thus do We explain in detail the signs for a people who give thought.Saheeh International

As for those who have earned evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed will be the like of it, and shame will come upon them (they shall have none to protect them from Allāh) as if their faces have been covered with part of the dark night—they are the inmates of the Fire, in it they shall abide.S. M. Rizvi (Explanatory)

For those who have committed misdeeds, the requital of a misdeed shall be its like, and they shall be overcast by abasement. They shall have no one to protect [them] from Allah. [They will be] as if their faces were covered with dark patches of the night. They shall be the inmates of the Fire, and they shall remain in it [forever].Ali Quli Qarai

But they who have earned [blame for] evil doings - the recompense of an evil deed is its equivalent, and humiliation will cover them. They will have from Allāh no protector. It will be as if their faces are covered with pieces of the night - so dark [are they]. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.Saheeh International

O Muḥammad, recite to them the story of Nūḥ who was striving hard to guide his people all by himself; but they would not listen to him.

M. Rizvi (Explanatory)
