لِيَكْفُرُوا۟ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُوا۟ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
66
سُورَةُ العَنكَبُوتِ
English — Sahih International
So that they will deny what We have granted them, and they will enjoy themselves. But they are going to know.
اردو — مودودی
تاکہ اللہ کی دی ہوئی نجات پر اس کا کفران نعمت کریں اور (حیات دنیا کے) مزے لوٹیں اچھا، عنقریب اِنہیں معلوم ہو جائے گا
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
agar mereka mengingkari nikmat yang telah Kami berikan kepada mereka dan agar mereka (hidup) bersenang-senang (dalam kekafiran). Kelak mereka akan mengetahui (akibat perbuatannya).
Ibn Kathir
Allah tells us how insignificant and transient this world is, and how it will soon end. All that it
وَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الاٌّخِرَةَ لَهِىَ الْحَيَوَانُ
(Verily, the home of the Hereafter -- that is the life indeed,) means, the true everlasting life that will never end, but will continue forever and ever.
لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ
(if they but knew.) means, they would prefer that which will last over that which will pass away. Then Allah says that at times of calamity, the idolators call upon Him alone, with no partner or associate, so why do they not do that all the time
فَإِذَا رَكِبُواْ فِى الْفُلْكِ دَعَوُاْ اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ
(And when they embark on a ship, they invoke Allah, making their faith pure for Him only,) This is like the Ayah,
وَإِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الْضُّرُّ فِى الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَن تَدْعُونَ إِلاَ إِيَّاهُ فَلَمَّا نَجَّـكُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ أَعْرَضْتُمْ
(And when harm touches you upon the sea, those that you call upon vanish from you except Him (Allah Alone). But when He brings you safely to land, you turn away) (17:67). Allah says here:
فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ إِذَا هُمْ يُشْرِكُونَ
(but when He brings them safely to land, behold, they give a share of their worship to others.) Muhammad bin Ishaq reported from `Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl that when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ conquered Makkah, he (`Ikrimah) ran away, fleeing from him. When he was on the sea, headed for Ethiopia, the ship started to rock and the crew said: "O people, pray sincerely to your Lord alone, for no one can save us from this except Him." `Ikrimah said: "By Allah, if there is none who can save us on the sea except Him, then there is none who can save us on land except Him either, O Allah, I vow to You that if I come out of this, I will go and put my hand in the hand of Muhammad ﷺ and I will find him kind and merciful." And this is what indeed did happen.
لِيَكْفُرُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَيْنَـهُمْ وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُواْ
(So that they become ingrate for that which We have given them, and that they take their enjoyment,)
المُيَسَّر
فإذا ركب الكفار السفن في البحر، وخافوا الغرق، وحَّدوا الله، وأخلصوا له في الدعاء حال شدتهم، فلما نجَّاهم إلى البر، وزالت عنهم الشدة، عادوا إلى شركهم، إنهم بهذا يتناقضون، يوحِّدون الله ساعة الشدة، ويشركون به ساعة الرخاء. وشِرْكهم بعد نعمتنا عليهم بالنجاة من البحر؛ ليكونَ عاقبته الكفر بما أنعمنا عليهم في أنفسهم وأموالهم، وليكملوا تمتعهم في هذه الدنيا، فسوف يعلمون فساد عملهم، وما أعدَّه الله لهم من عذاب أليم يوم القيامة. وفي ذلك تهديد ووعيد لهم.
