وَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا لِتُبَيِّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ فِيهِ ۙ وَهُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةًۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يُؤْمِنُونَ
سُورَةُ النَّحۡلِ

English — Sahih International
And We have not revealed to you the Book, [O Muhammad], except for you to make clear to them that wherein they have differed and as guidance and mercy for a people who believe.
اردو — مودودی
ہم نے یہ کتاب تم پر اس لیے نازل کی ہے کہ تم اُن اختلافات کی حقیقت اِن پر کھول دو جن میں یہ پڑے ہوئے ہیں یہ کتاب رہنمائی اور رحمت بن کر اتری ہے اُن لوگوں کے لیے جو اِسے مان لیں
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Dan Kami tidak menurunkan kepadamu Al-Kitab (Al Quran) ini, melainkan agar kamu dapat menjelaskan kepada mereka apa yang mereka perselisihkan itu dan menjadi petunjuk dan rahmat bagi kaum yang beriman.
Ibn Kathir
Finding Consolation in the Reminder of Those Who came before
Allah says, `He sent Messengers to the nations of the past, and they were rejected. You, O Muhammad, have an example in your brothers among the Messengers, so do not be distressed by your people's rejection. As for the idolators' rejection of the Messengers, the reason for this is that the Shaytan made their deeds attractive to them.'
فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ الْيَوْمَ
(So today he (Shaytan) is their helper,) meaning they will be suffering punishment while Shaytan is their only helper, and he cannot save them, so they have no one to answer their calls for help, and theirs is a painful punishment.
The Reason why the Qur'an was revealed
Then Allah says to His Messenger that He has revealed the Book to him to explain the truth to mankind in matters which they dispute over. So the Qur'an is a decisive arbitrator for every issue that they argue about.
وَهَدَى
(and (as) a guidance) meaning, for their hearts.
وَرَحْمَةً
(and a mercy) meaning, for the one who adheres to it.
لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
(for a people who believe.) Just as Allah causes the Qur'an to bring life to hearts that were dead from disbelief, so He brings the earth to life after it has died, by sending down water from the sky.
إِنَّ فِى ذلِكَ لآيَةً لِقَوْمٍ يَسْمَعُونَ
(Surely that is a sign for people who listen.) meaning those who understand the words and their meanings.
المُيَسَّر
وما أنزلنا عليك القرآن -أيها الرسول- إلا لتوضح للناس ما اختلفوا فيه من الدين والأحكام؛ لتقوم الحجة عليهم ببيانك ورشدًا ورحمة لقوم يؤمنون.
