سُوْرَةُ يُوْنُسَ

Surah Yunus (10) — Ayah 60

Jonas · Meccan · Juz 11 · Page 215

وَمَا ظَنُّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ ﴿60﴾
And what think those who invent a lie against Allâh, on the Day of Resurrection? [i.e. Do they think that they will be forgiven and excused! Nay, they will have an eternal punishment in the Fire of Hell]. Truly, Allâh is full of Bounty to mankind, but most of them are ungrateful.
وَمَا wamā And what

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 60) ➊ { وَ مَا ظَنُّ الَّذِيْنَ يَفْتَرُوْنَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَ يَوْمَ الْقِيٰمَةِ:} That is, what treatment will be given to them? (Fath-ur-Rahman) Do they think that by declaring lawful as unlawful and unlawful as lawful without any evidence and by fabricating lies against Allah, they will not be held accountable and will be left alone like this?

➋ The tanween in { اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ …: ’’ فَضْلٍ ‘‘} is for magnification, meaning Allah is indeed the possessor of great bounty upon people that He created them, granted them intellect and every blessing, then gave them respite, and despite their disobedience did not decrease their sustenance. But seeing His gentleness and respite (giving time), they become even bolder in sins and declare whatever they wish from His provided sustenance as lawful or unlawful. Both the polytheists and the People of the Book were involved in such ingratitude, as they had made many things part of the religion from their own side. (Ibn Kathir)
