وَمَا ظَلَمۡنٰہُمۡ وَلٰکِنۡ ظَلَمُوۡۤا اَنۡفُسَہُمۡ ۖ فَمَاۤ اَغۡنَتۡ عَنۡہُمۡ اٰلِہَتُہُمُ الَّتِیۡ یَدۡعُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰہِ مِنۡ شَیۡءٍ لَّمَّا جَآءَ اَمۡرُ رَبِّکَ ۖ وَمَا زَادُوۡہُمۡ غَیۡرَ تَتۡبِیۡبٍ
3:118; 16:34.
3:118; 16:34.
The Qur’an repeatedly emphasizes the fact that God never punishes a people unjustly and that it is their own misdeeds that bring down punishment upon them. It denies the theory of predestination or of man’s being the victim of a blind fate. It also contradicts the view that God makes nations rise and fall arbitrarily, without a just or real cause. This is why, wherever it speaks of punishment, it does not fail to add that punishment or reward is the result of man’s own doings.
3:118; 16:34.
Commentary:
The Quran repeatedly emphasizes the fact that God never punishes a people unjustly and that it is their own misdeeds that bring down punishment upon them. It denies the theory of predestination or of man’s being the victim of a blind fate. It also contradicts the view that God makes nations rise and fall arbitrarily, without just or real cause. This is why, wherever the Quran speaks of punishment, it does not fail to add that punishments or rewards are the results of men’s own doing. This is what is hinted at in the words, And We did not wrong them but they wronged themselves.
The verse also points out that of all things it is their idols that are of absolutely no use to idolaters. All other things in nature such as fire, snakes, poisons, etc. have their uses. The swords of disbelievers were also of some service to them, because with them they killed some Muslims, but what proved of entirely no use to the idolaters were their gods, upon whom they had staked their whole future.
The words, and they added to them naught but perdition, do not contradict the well-known Quranic dictum that idols can do disbelievers neither good nor evil, for where the Quran denies that idols can do harm, it is intentional harm that is meant; but where it says that idols do serious harm to their votaries, as in the present verse, it means involuntary or unintentional harm, for what greater sin there can be than committing shirk, (idol-worship) of which idols are the unconscious cause.
The words "but perdition" also point to the moral that shirk generally renders idolaters lax in their efforts to better their condition and thus is indirectly instrumental in bringing about their eventual destruction. When at the Fall of Mecca, some of the idolaters who, on account of their most atrocious crimes against Muslims were proscribed from the general amnesty, took shelter in the Ka‘bah, thinking that the idols therein would protect them, they were ordered by the Holy Prophet to be slain. Had they known that their idols could render them no help whatsoever, they would have sought safety in flight. Thus the words "but perdition" hint that شرك (idol-worship) renders its votaries lax and negligent.

وَقَالُوۡۤا ءَاٰلِہَتُنَا خَیۡرٌ اَمۡ ہُوَ ۚ مَا ضَرَبُوۡہُ لَکَ اِلَّا جَدَلًۢا ۚ بَلۡ ہُمۡ قَوۡمٌ خَصِمُوۡنَ
迈喜合的降临是犹太人即将失去颜面, 受到耻辱并将永远被夺先知品位的迹象。 مَثَل (Mathal) 表示: 与另一个相似或相同 (6:39)。这节经文还有一个意思: 当穆圣的信从者--------穆斯林--------被告知另有一个人和伊撒相似, 和他一模一样, 会在他们中间站起来使他们获得新生, 恢复他们失去的精神光辉, 这时他们不是为这个好消息而高兴, 而是掀起了一片喧嚷。因此这节经文可视为伊撒 (耶稣) 的再临。
’’ہمارے معبود‘‘ سے مراد وہ بزرگ ہیں جن کو وہ خداتعالیٰ کے مقابلہ میں عظمت دیتے ہیں خواہ ان کے آگے عملاً سجدہ نہ کرتے ہوں۔ جیسا کہ آج کل کے مشرک یعنی اہل تشیع وغیرہ جو کہتے ہیں کہ مہدی کے آنے پر سب رسول زندہ کیے جائیں گے اور اس کی اطاعت کریں گے۔
The advent of the Messiah was a sign that the Jews were going to be disgraced and humiliated and were about to be deprived of Prophethood for all time. Mathal signifying anything similar or equal to another (6:39), the verse, besides the meaning given in the text, may also signify that when the people of the Holy Prophet—the Muslims—are told that another person, who would be like Jesus and would be his counterpart, would be raised from among them to regenerate them and restore their lost spiritual glory, instead of being glad over these good tidings, they raise a clamour. The verse may thus be taken as referring to the Second Coming of Jesus.
