  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

337. This means to believe a Prophet is a cause of Divine punishment. But the delay in the coming of this punishment is because this is Prophet's mercy. Allah Almighty is Merciful, one should not be deceived by His tolerance.

Ibn-Kathir

147. If they deny you say: “Your Lord is the Owner of vast mercy, and never will His wrath be turned back from the people who are criminals.”) Allah says, if your opponents among the idolators, Jews and their likes reject you, O Muhammad,


﴿فَقُل رَّبُّكُمْ ذُو رَحْمَةٍ وَسِعَةٍ﴾

(Say: “Your Lord is the Owner of vast mercy…”) encouraging them to seek Allah’s vast mercy and follow His Messenger ,

﴿وَلاَ يُرَدُّ بَأْسُهُ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ﴾

(and never will His wrath be turned back from the people who are criminals.) discouraging them from defying the Messenger, the Final Prophet, Muhammad . Allah often joins encouragement with threats in the Qur’an. Allah said at the end of this Surah:

﴿إِنَّ رَبَّكَ سَرِيعُ الْعِقَابِ وَإِنَّهُ لَغَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ﴾

(Surely, your Lord is swift in retribution, and certainly He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.) ﴿6:165﴾ Allah also said,

﴿وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو مَغْفِرَةٍ لِّلنَّاسِ عَلَى ظُلْمِهِمْ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَشَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ﴾

(But verily, your Lord is full of forgiveness for mankind in spite of their wrongdoing. And verily, your Lord is (also) severe in punishment.) ﴿13:6﴾, and

﴿نَبِّىءْ عِبَادِى أَنِّى أَنَا الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ – وَأَنَّ عَذَابِى هُوَ الْعَذَابُ الاٌّلِيمُ ﴾

(Declare unto My servants, that truly, I am the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. And that My torment is indeed the most painful torment.) ﴿15:49-50﴾, and

﴿غَافِرِ الذَّنبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقَابِ﴾

(The Forgiver of sin, the Acceptor of repentance, the Severe in punishment.) ﴿40:3﴾ and,

﴿إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ – إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِىءُ وَيُعِيدُ – وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الْوَدُودُ ﴾

(Verily, the punishment of your Lord is severe and painful. Verily, He it is Who begins and repeats. And He is Oft-Forgiving, full of love.)﴿85:12-14﴾. There are many other Ayat on this subject.

(6:147) ‘Then if they give you the lie, say: ‘Your Lord is of unbounded mercy; but His punishment shall not be averted from the guilty folk.’[123]

Ala-Maududi

(6:147) ‘Then if they give you the lie, say: ‘Your Lord is of unbounded mercy; but His punishment shall not be averted from the guilty folk.’[123]


123. If they could still give up their disobedience and return to the true service of God, they would find Him ready to embrace them with His mercy. But if they persisted, they should remember that no one could save them from His wrath.
