Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. And We charged those who received the Scripture before you, and (We charge) you, that ye keep your duty toward Allah. And if ye disbelieve, lo! unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, and Allah is ever Absolute, Owner of Praise.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

To Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth. Verily we have directed the People of the Book before you, and you (o Muslims) to fear Allah. But if ye deny Him, lo! unto Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth, and Allah is free of all wants, worthy of all praise.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يخبر تعالى أنه مالك السماوات والأرض ، وأنه الحاكم فيهما ; ولهذا قال : ( ولقد وصينا الذين أوتوا الكتاب من قبلكم وإياكم ) أي : وصيناكم بما وصيناهم به ، من تقوى الله ، عز وجل ، بعبادته وحده لا شريك له .

ثم قال : ( وإن تكفروا فإن لله ما في السماوات وما في الأرض [ وكان الله غنيا حميدا ] ) كما قال تعالى إخبارا عن موسى أنه قال لقومه : ( إن تكفروا أنتم ومن في الأرض جميعا فإن الله لغني حميد ) [ إبراهيم : 8 ] ، وقال ( فكفروا وتولوا واستغنى الله والله غني حميد ) [ التغابن : 6 ] أي : غني عن عباده ، ( حميد ) أي : محمود في جميع ما يقدره ويشرعه .
