أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَـٰدِلُونَ فِىٓ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ أَنَّىٰ يُصْرَفُونَ ﴿69﴾
See you not those who dispute about the Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allâh? How are they turning away [from the truth, (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism to the falsehood (i.e. polytheism)]?
أَلَمْ alam Do not
تَرَ tara you see
إِلَى ilā [to]
ٱلَّذِينَ alladhīna those who
يُجَـٰدِلُونَ yujādilūna dispute
فِىٓ concerning
ءَايَـٰتِ āyāti (the) Signs
ٱللَّهِ l-lahi (of) Allah
أَنَّىٰ annā How
يُصْرَفُونَ yuṣ'rafūna they are turned away

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 69) { اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذِيْنَ يُجَادِلُوْنَ …:} In this surah, from the beginning up to this point, the baseless argumentation of the disbelievers and its condemnation has been mentioned five times. See verses (4, 5, 35, 56, 69). Here, the Prophet (peace be upon him) and every person who hears or reads these verses are told that (from the discourse from the beginning of the surah up to this point) have you not realized that those who argue unjustly and dispute crookedly about the signs of Allah, despite knowing the proofs of their authenticity, from where do they stumble and fall into the pit of misguidance?
