[2] 1.
[I swear] by the [past] time! a [3] 2.
Surely, man [who is a disbeliever] has lost [: concerning his eternal
next lifeb.] [4] 3.
Save those who believe [in the messengers: the apostles], and work
righteous [deeds], and exhort one another to the truth, and exhort one
another to endurance. c |
1 a It is a swear for the past; the word ‘by’ is for the
swearing. God – be glorified – swore by the
past ages in which He terminated the nations who disbelieved the messengers
and were ungrateful to God’s bounties. It is a swear
for threatening and warning, and the addressing is to the associaters. The meaning: If you do not believe
[in God alone] and do not believe My messenger, I will terminate you as did I
terminate the past nations who disbelieved Our messengers. 2 b For he exchanged prosperity for
chastisement and Paradise for Fire. 3 c For those have
won about their lasting life, and they have not lost. |
