Fatir - 35:5

English - Ibn Kathir
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ

O mankind!

Verily, the promise of Allah is true.

meaning the Resurrection will undoubtedly come to pass.

فَلَ تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا

So, let not this present life deceive you,

means, `this life is as nothing in compare to the great good that Allah has promised to His close friends and the followers of His Messengers, so do not let these transient attractions distract you from that which is lasting.'

وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ



and let not the chief deceiver deceive you about Allah.

This refers to Shaytan, as stated by Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him.

Meaning, do not let the Shaytan tempt you and divert you away from following the Messengers of Allah and believing what they say, for he is the chief deceiver and arch-liar.

This Ayah is like the Ayah that appears at the end of Surah Luqman:

فَلَ تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيَوةُ الدُّنْيَا وَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكُم بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ

let not then this (worldly) present life deceive you, nor let the chief deceiver deceive you about Allah. (31:33)

Muhammad 47:24
English - Tafsir ibn kathir

*The Command to reflect upon the Qur'an*

Commanding the people to reflect and ponder upon the Qur'an, and prohibiting them from turning away from it, Allah says,

أَفَلَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْانَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا

Will they not then reflect upon the Qur'an, or are there locks upon their hearts?

means, there indeed are locks upon some hearts, firmly closing them so that none of its meanings can reach them.

Ibn Jarir recorded from Hisham bin Urwah, from his father, may Allah be pleased with him, that;

Allah's Messenger once recited this Ayah,
أَفَلَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْانَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا
(Will they not then reflect upon the Qur'an, or are there locks upon their hearts), and a young man from Yemen said,

"Indeed, there are locks upon them -- until Allah opens them totally or slightly."

After that Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, always liked that young man, and kept that to himself until he became in charge, upon which he utilized him (as a consultant).
Condemning Apostasy

An-Nisa' 4:82
English - Tafsir ibn kathir

*The Qur'an is True*

Allah says;

أَفَلَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْانَ

Do they not then consider the Qur'an carefully!

Allah commands them to contemplate about the Qur'an and forbids them from ignoring it, or ignoring its wise meanings and eloquent words.

Allah states that there are no inconsistencies, contradictions, conflicting statements or discrepancies in the Qur'an, because it is a revelation from the Most-Wise, Worthy of all praise. Therefore, the Qur'an is the truth coming from the Truth, Allah.

This is why Allah said in another Ayah,

أَفَلَ يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْانَ أَمْ عَلَى قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَا

Do they not then think deeply in the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up (from understanding it). (47:24)

Allah then said,

وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ عِندِ غَيْرِ اللّهِ

Had it been from other than Allah,

meaning, had it been fraudulent and made up, as the ignorant idolators and hypocrites assert in their hearts.

لَوَجَدُواْ فِيهِ اخْتِلَفًا

they would surely, have found therein contradictions,

discrepancies and inconsistencies

كَثِيرًا

in abundance.

However, this Qur'an is free of shortcomings, and therefore, it is from Allah.

Similarly, Allah describes those who are firmly grounded in knowledge,

ءَامَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا

We believe in it, all of it is from our Lord. (3:7)

meaning, the Muhkam sections (entirely clear) and the Mutashabih sections (not entirely clear) of the Qur'an are all true. So they understand the not entirely clear from the clear, and thus gain guidance.

As for those in whose heart is the disease of hypocrisy, they understand the Muhkam from the Mutashabih; thus only gaining misguidance.

Allah praised those who have knowledge and criticized the wicked.

Imam Ahmad recorded that `Amr bin Shu`ayb said that his father said that his grandfather said,

"I and my brother were present in a gathering, which is more precious to me than red camels. My brother and I came and found that some of the leaders of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah were sitting close to a door of his. We did not like the idea of being separate from them, so we sat near the room. They then mentioned an Ayah and began disputing until they raised their voices.

The Messenger of Allah was so angry that when he went out his face was red. He threw sand on them and said to them,

مَهْلً يَا قَوْمِ بِهَذَا أُهْلِكَتِ الاُْمَمُ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِاخْتِلَفِهِمْ عَلى أَنْبِيَايِهِمْ وَضَرْبِهِمِ الْكُتُبَ بَعْضَهَا بِبَعْضٍ إِنَّ الْقُرْانَ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ يُكَذِّبُ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا إِنَّمَا يُصَدِّقُ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضًا فَمَا عَرَفْتُمْ مِنْهُ فَاعْمَلُوا بِهِ وَمَا جَهِلْتُمْ مِنْهُ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلى عَالِمِه

Behold, O people! This is how the nations before you were destroyed, because of their disputing with their Prophets and their contradicting parts of the Books with other parts. The Qur'an does not contradict itself. Rather, it testifies to the truth of itself. Therefore, whatever of it you have knowledge in, then implement it, and whatever you do not know of it, then refer it to those who have knowledge in it."

Ahmad recorded that Abdullah bin `Amr said,

"I went to the Messenger of Allah one day. When we were sitting, two men disputed about an Ayah, and their voices became loud. The Prophet said,

إِنَّمَا هَلَكَتِ الاُْمَمُ قَبْلَكُمْ بِاخْتِلَفِهِمْ فِي الْكِتَاب

Verily, the nations before you were destroyed because of their disagreements over the Book.

Muslim and An-Nasa'i recorded this Hadith.
