إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ أَن يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْعَدَٰوَةَ وَٱلْبَغْضَآءَ فِى ٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلْمَيْسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ وَعَنِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّنتَهُونَ
After stating that the four things mentioned in the previous verse are all abomination in one sense or another, the present verse is confined to two of them—wine and games of chance—and gives additional reasons against them. These reasons rest on political, social, spiritual and socio-religious grounds, these being implied in the words "enmity and hatred and keeping back from the remembrance of Allah and from Prayer."
Commentary:
After stating that the four things mentioned in the previous verse are all رجس (abomination) in one sense or another, the present verse confines itself to two of the four mentioned things—wine and games of hazard—and gives additional reasons against them. These reasons are, as stated in the verse, four in number and rest on political, social, spiritual and socio-religious grounds, this being hinted in the words "enmity and hatred and keeping back from the remembrance of Allah and from Prayer". The interrogation in the clause, But will you keep back?, embodies a strong admonition not to do the thing, the use of the interrogative form being the most effective form of exhortation. See also 2:220.

Commentary:
Disbelievers are here told that, as in the end Divine punishment does overtake those who persist in rejecting the Prophets of God, therefore they need not demand its speedy arrival, because it is sure to come at its fixed time. It is strange that whereas disbelievers, who in the early days of the preaching of a new Message are the stronger party, display great impatience for the early coming of Divine punishment, the Prophet and his followers, who are the weaker party, do not wish that punishment should come soon. This impatience on the part of disbelievers on the one hand, and equanimity and calmness on the part of believers on the other, in themselves constitute a proof of the believers being in the right. The words put in the mouth of the Holy Prophet, viz. Wait then, and I am with you among those who wait, signify that, although I am being made the target of your tyrannies, yet I am waiting patiently. Why then should you, who are the stronger party and are leading peaceful lives, show such impatience?

فَإِلَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَكُمْ فَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ بِعِلْمِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَن لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
4:167.
The use of plural pronoun 'your' instead of 'thy' shows that the challenge was not necessarily from the Holy Prophet alone, but Muslims in every age could deliver a challenge in these terms. The verse guarantees that the Qur’an will ever stand unrivalled in its manifold excellent qualities.
4:167.
Commentary:
Naturally the question arises here whether the challenge contained in the preceding verse was confined to the lifetime of the Holy Prophet or whether it extended even to the later ages. This question has been answered in the present verse by the use of the plural pronoun "you" in the clause, And if they do not respond to you, thus showing that the challenge was not confined to the time of the Holy Prophet but extended to all time. If the challenge had been confined only to the lifetime of the Holy Prophet, the words used would have been "if they do not respond to thee" and not as they are. The use of the plural pronoun shows that Muslims in every age can deliver this challenge to disbelievers and the verse guarantees that the Quran will ever stand unrivalled in its manifold excellences.
The words, then know that it has been revealed replete with Allah’s knowledge, mean that if the opponents of Islam do not accept this challenge, it will clearly establish that the Quran comprises the special knowledge of God, and contains matters which are beyond human ken, being undiscoverable by man; hence their inability to produce a book like it.
The expression, that there is no god but He, indicates that the inability of men of all ages to produce a book like the Quran will also prove that there is no god beside Allah; for, if there had been other gods, they and their votaries would have accepted the challenge and, by producing through their cumulative efforts a work like the Quran, would have demonstrated the hollowness of this challenge. Complete silence on their part is sure evidence of the fact that there is no God beside Allah and that He has no equal.
It is disbelievers who are addressed in the closing words, Will you then submit, and they are asked whether they will not join the fold of Islam now that this unaccepted challenge has proved that the Quran is indeed the Word of God.

It is not so much the actual misdeeds of a people that bring about their downfall as the exposure of their weaknesses. With their weaknesses having become exposed, their prestige and reputation which, more than their achievements, are the mainstay of their success, suffer a mortal blow, lowering them in the estimation of rival communities and bringing in their wake their decline and decadence. This is the significance of the verse, 'they shall appear before Allah.'
A people who are destined to perish give way to despair and become readily resigned to their low state.

Important Words:
برزوا (they shall appear) is derived from برز which means, he came out in the open country; he appeared before men after being hidden. ابرزالکتاب means, he made the book public; he published it. بارز العدو means, he came out (of his camp etc.) and fought the enemy. تبرز means, he went into the open country to answer the call of nature (Aqrab).
Commentary:
The words, They shall all appear before Allah, embody a great truth about the decline and Fall of nations. It is not so much the actual weaknesses and misdeeds of a people that bring about their downfall as the exposure of their weaknesses. With their weaknesses having become exposed, their prestige and reputation, which more than their achievements are the mainstay of their success, suffer a mortal blow, lowering them in the estimation of rival communities and bringing in their wake decline and decadence. The words quoted above thus mean that God will lift the veil from the iniquities of the sinful and will expose them to public view, because from Him nothing is hidden.
The verse also sheds some light on another important principle about the rise and fall of nations. A people who are destined to perish give way to despair and become readily resigned to their low state, as hinted at in the words, it is now equal for us whether we show impatience or remain patient: there is no way of escape for us. On the contrary, a people for whom a bright future waits continue to make ceaseless efforts to improve their condition till all signs of decline and degeneration disappear and their feet are set firmly on the road to success and prosperity.

Commentary:
In this verse a very common but very foolish objection of disbelievers has been mentioned, viz. if God had disapproved of their beliefs and actions, He should have weaned them by force from their idolatrous doctrines and deeds. Since He has not done so, it shows that He does not disapprove of them. Before proceeding to give a detailed answer in the next verse to this manifestly absurd contention, the Quran gives a general answer in this verse. The verse purports to say that if it had been the will of God to use force, His Prophets would have forced disbelievers to give up their idolatrous beliefs and evil practices. But not a single instance is on
record of a Prophet having employed force for the propagation of his religion and for compelling people to believe in him.

قَالُوا۟ يَٰذَا ٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ إِنَّ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجًا عَلَىٰٓ أَن تَجْعَلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ سَدًّا
يَاجُوْج (Ya’juj, 雅朱者) 和 مَاجُوْج (马朱者, Ma’juj) 这两个单词都源出字根 اَجَّ (Ajja), 意思是:他走得很快;他或它变成火焰 (Lane), 以及指最远的东方的塞西亚人。或者, 像有些人说的那样, 住在亚洲和欧洲北部的所有民族 (《大英百科全書》和《犹太百科全書》“Gog” “Magog” 项下, 以及 «历史学家的世界历史» 卷2, 582页, 《以西结书》38:2-6和39:6)。
这些词也可用于西方的基督教国家因为他们一直利用燃烧着的火和沸腾着的水, 而且因为他们的物质进步和许多伟大的发现和发明都是由于正确并非常广泛地使用这些东西的结果。或者, 这些单词可以意示这些民族好动的性格, 因为他们总是不停地注意并且急不待缓地作出新的征服。
圣经中对雅朱者和马朱者的描写, 毫无疑问指的是西方的某些基督教强国:第一, 因为说他们是非常多的、强有力的以及强大的:—‘你必将升起, 像暴风雨般地到来, 你必将像一片遮蔽大地的云层, 你和你的所有伙伴以及和你在一起的许多人’ («以西结书» 38:9)。‘雅朱者和马朱者……他们的数目像大海的沙一样’ («启示录» 20:8)。‘对每一只长满羽毛的禽鸟, 对每一只田野中的走兽是这样说的, 你们可以吃那些强有力者的肉, 并且喝这个世界上的王子王孙的血’ («以西结书» 39:18, 19)。第三, 他们将遍布全世界:—‘他们走向世界各地’ («启示录» 20:9)。第四, 他们从北面的家里将移居到其他国家并定居世界各地, 而在战时将从他们遥远的殖民地聚集到一起:他要去迷惑地上四方的国家, 就是歌革和马各。撒旦要把他们集合起来, 出去打仗; («启示录» 20:8)。«以西结书» 提到马朱者时称他为 ‘Rosh, Meshech 和 Tubal 王子, 很明显, Rosh 代表俄罗斯, Meshech 代表莫斯科, 以及 Tubal 代表托波斯克。雅朱者 (Gog歌格) 也可指马朱者 (Magog玛各) 的国土而言(«以西结书» 38:2), 马朱者 (玛各Magog), 按照圣经注释者的看法, 代表古时称为塞西亚的地区 (包括俄罗斯和达靼地方), 那时过去出生许多野蛮人部落。由于俄罗斯包括在马朱者的土地以内; Rosh, Meshech 和 Tubal 就可以理解为代表俄罗斯、莫斯科和托波尔斯克。马朱者也可以说成是一个民族的名字, («以西结书» 39:6和 «启示录» 20:8)。在前者, 马朱者被说成和 ‘无忧无虑地居住在岛上的那些人一起’。按照这些节注释, 雅朱者和马朱者代表欧洲的一些强国, 包括俄罗斯在内。«古兰经» 中(18:95), 谈到他们袭击并侵入伊朗北部的边界领土, 这意指他们是一些通常叫做塞西亚人的部落。这是大家都知道的历史事实; 在古时候塞西亚人不断地从亚洲大批移入欧洲, 他们的道路是在高加索北面 (《大英百科全書》第14版，卷12，263页)。
当一个部落定居欧洲时, 新的部落又从东方前来, 把他们的前辈越推越向西前进。这样, 在 «圣经» 预言中这些欧洲民族就合理地叫做雅朱者和马朱者。奇怪的是, 今天在伦敦市政厅内还保存着名叫歌革和玛各两个英雄的纪念像。在 «以西结书» 和 «启示录» 中又可见到雅朱者和马朱者在后期还会出现, 即正好在迈喜合第二次来临以前的那一时间: ‘许多年以后, 在后世你一定会被惩罚, 你将来到那从刀剑下带回的国土’ («以西结书» 38:8也见启示录20:7-10)。这些经文表明, 这一预言指的是在遥远的将来会出现的一个民族。雅朱者和马朱者出现的时代特征是战争、地震、瘟疫和可怕的大灾难。也见 «大版本的注释本» 1718-1720页。
塞西亚 (Scythians) 人, 即雅朱者和马朱者, 占据着黑海北面和东北面的许多领土。他们从这些地区经过窦本要隘侵犯、征服和统治波斯人。塞鲁士打败了他们, 从他们的控制下解救了波斯人 («历史学家的世界历史»)。按照希罗多德 (Herodotus) 的说法, 就在塞西亚人通过那要隘来侵犯波斯的地方建筑着那著名的窦本城墙。
窦本 (دَرْبَند, Derbent) 即 Darband, 是高加索地区波斯的一个城镇, 在里海西海岸上的德格黑斯顿省境内……。在南方是朝海的那一端的高加索城墙, 有50英里长, 又名亚历山大城墙, 堵住了 “铁大门” 即 “里海大门” 的狭隘通道。这一城墙全高29英尺, 厚约十英尺, 门是铁做成的, 还有无数瞭望塔, 形成波斯边境一个可靠的屏障 (《大英百科全書》 “Derbent” 项下)。
与被证实了的历史资料相反, 很多人相信这一城墙是亚历山大大帝建造的。但是亚历山大的军事远征像旋风那样一卷而过, 其时他不可能注意到像建造这样一座巨大城墙的任何伟大工程; 他很年轻就死去, 也没有时间来完成这样雄伟的事业。这种普通的看法看来由以下情况产生: «古兰经» 的穆斯林注释者误将祖尔夸尔纳英作亚历山大。以下的情况证实城是塞鲁士建造的;
(a) 为了击夸塞西亚人的武力, 大流士 (Darius) 在塞鲁的儿子死后接王位, 他经由希腊横越欧洲攻击他们。他必须走如此遥远、艰难和迂迥的路程夸越欧洲东南部来攻击这些人, 而他们却生活在北方离开他很近的地方, 这是不可思议的事情。必然的结论是, 只有塞鲁士能够在他之前造的那座巨大的城墙的存在, 使他不可能带着庞大的军队夸越去另一侧; 而且如果没有城墙堵住塞西亚人, 他会把自己的国家暴露给他们从北面来的进攻。
(b) 在塞鲁士以前, 塞西亚人一直不断袭击波斯, 但在他征服了他们以后, 这些袭击就停止了, 这一情况引出一个非常可能的结论, 他一定已经筑起了一条屏障有效地阻止了这些攻击, 而这一屏障必然是那著名的窦本城墙, 即那一被错误地称为亚历山大的城墙。
The words, Ya’juj and Ma’juj (Gog and Magog), are both derived from the root-word Ajja which means, he was quick in his pace; he or it became the flaming fire (Lane), and refer to the Scythians of the farthest East. Or, as some say, all nations inhabiting the north of Asia and Europe (Enc. Brit. & Jewish Enc. under "Gog" and "Magog," and Historians’ History of the World, vol. 2, p. 582 & Ezekiel, 38: 2-6 & 39: 6). The words may also apply to Christian nations of the West as they have made much use of burning fire and boiling water and because all their material progress and great discoveries and inventions are due to the right and very extensive use of these things. Or, the words may imply the restless behaviour of these nations as they are always on the lookout restlessly and impatiently to make new conquests.
The description of Gog and Magog as given in the Bible leaves no doubt that it applies to some Christian Powers of the West: First, because they are repr
The Scythians or Gog and Magog occupied territories to the north and northeast of the Black Sea and they came from these regions through the pass of Darband and invaded and conquered and ruled over the Persians. Cyrus defeated them and delivered the Persians from their clutches (Historians’ History of the World). Exactly, at the place which, according to Herodotus, was the pass through which the Scythians made raids upon Persia stood a wall, the famous Wall of Derbent.
Derbent or Darband, a town of Persia, Caucasia, in the province of Daghestan, on the western shore of the Caspian... And to the south lies the seaward extremity of the Caucasian wall, 50 miles long otherwise known as Alexander’s Wall, blocking the narrow pass of the Iron Gate or the Caspian Gate. This, when entire, had a height of 29 feet and a thickness of about 10 feet, and with its iron gates and numerous watch- towers formed a veritable defence of the Persian Frontier (Enc. Brit. under "Derbent").
Against established hist
Commentary:
The people who lived on the route of the depredatory incursions of Gog and Magog into Persia asked Cyrus to build a wall across the pass through which they made their raids.

圣经中对雅朱者和马朱者的描写, 毫无疑问指的是西方的某些基督教强国:第一, 因为说他们是非常多的、强有力的以及强大的:—‘你必将升起, 像暴风雨般地到来, 你必将像一片遮蔽大地的云层, 你和你的所有伙伴以及和你在一起的许多人’ («以西结书» 38:9)。‘雅朱者和马朱者……他们的数目像大海的沙一样’ («启示录» 20:8)。‘对每一只长满羽毛的禽鸟, 对每一只田野中的走兽是这样说的, 你们可以吃那些强有力者的肉, 并且喝这个世界上的王子王孙的血’ («以西结书» 39:18, 19)。第三, 他们将遍布全世界:—‘他们走向世界各地’ («启示录» 20:9)。第四, 他们从北面的家里将移居到其他国家并定居世界各地, 而在战时将从他们遥远的殖民地聚集到一起:他要去迷惑地上四方的国家, 就是歌革和马各。撒旦要把他们集合起来, 出去打仗; («启示录» 20:8)。«以西结书» 提到马朱者时称他为 ‘Rosh, Meshech 和 Tubal 王子, 很明显, Rosh 代表俄罗斯, Meshech 代表莫斯科, 以及 Tubal 代表托波斯克。雅朱者 (Gog歌格) 也可指马朱者 (Magog玛各) 的国土而言(«以西结书» 38:2), 马朱者 (玛各Magog), 按照圣经注释者的看法, 代表古时称为塞西亚的地区 (包括俄罗斯和达靼地方), 那时过去出生许多野蛮人部落。由于俄罗斯包括在马朱者的土地以内; Rosh, Meshech 和 Tubal 就可以理解为代表俄罗斯、莫斯科和托波尔斯克。马朱者也可以说成是一个民族的名字, («以西结书» 39:6和 «启示录» 20:8)。在前者, 马朱者被说成和 ‘无忧无虑地居住在岛上的那些人一起’。按照这些节注释, 雅朱者和马朱者代表欧洲的一些强国, 包括俄罗斯在内。«古兰经» 中(18:95), 谈到他们袭击并侵入伊朗北部的边界领土, 这意指他们是一些通常叫做塞西亚人的部落。这是大家都知道的历史事实; 在古时候塞西亚人不断地从亚洲大批移入欧洲, 他们的道路是在高加索北面 (《大英百科全書》第14版，卷12，263页)。
当一个部落定居欧洲时, 新的部落又从东方前来, 把他们的前辈越推越向西前进。这样, 在 «圣经» 预言中这些欧洲民族就合理地叫做雅朱者和马朱者。奇怪的是, 今天在伦敦市政厅内还保存着名叫歌革和玛各两个英雄的纪念像。在 «以西结书» 和 «启示录» 中又可见到雅朱者和马朱者在后期还会出现, 即正好在迈喜合第二次来临以前的那一时间: ‘许多年以后, 在后世你一定会被惩罚, 你将来到那从刀剑下带回的国土’ («以西结书» 38:8也见启示录20:7-10)。这些经文表明, 这一预言指的是在遥远的将来会出现的一个民族。雅朱者和马朱者出现的时代特征是战争、地震、瘟疫和可怕的大灾难。也见 «大版本的注释本» 1718-1720页。

塞西亚 (Scythians) 人, 即雅朱者和马朱者, 占据着黑海北面和东北面的许多领土。他们从这些地区经过窦本要隘侵犯、征服和统治波斯人。塞鲁士打败了他们, 从他们的控制下解救了波斯人 («历史学家的世界历史»)。按照希罗多德 (Herodotus) 的说法, 就在塞西亚人通过那要隘来侵犯波斯的地方建筑着那著名的窦本城墙。
窦本 (دَرْبَند, Derbent) 即 Darband, 是高加索地区波斯的一个城镇, 在里海西海岸上的德格黑斯顿省境内……。在南方是朝海的那一端的高加索城墙, 有50英里长, 又名亚历山大城墙, 堵住了 “铁大门” 即 “里海大门” 的狭隘通道。这一城墙全高29英尺, 厚约十英尺, 门是铁做成的, 还有无数瞭望塔, 形成波斯边境一个可靠的屏障 (《大英百科全書》 “Derbent” 项下)。
与被证实了的历史资料相反, 很多人相信这一城墙是亚历山大大帝建造的。但是亚历山大的军事远征像旋风那样一卷而过, 其时他不可能注意到像建造这样一座巨大城墙的任何伟大工程; 他很年轻就死去, 也没有时间来完成这样雄伟的事业。这种普通的看法看来由以下情况产生: «古兰经» 的穆斯林注释者误将祖尔夸尔纳英作亚历山大。以下的情况证实城是塞鲁士建造的;
(a) 为了击夸塞西亚人的武力, 大流士 (Darius) 在塞鲁的儿子死后接王位, 他经由希腊横越欧洲攻击他们。他必须走如此遥远、艰难和迂迥的路程夸越欧洲东南部来攻击这些人, 而他们却生活在北方离开他很近的地方, 这是不可思议的事情。必然的结论是, 只有塞鲁士能够在他之前造的那座巨大的城墙的存在, 使他不可能带着庞大的军队夸越去另一侧; 而且如果没有城墙堵住塞西亚人, 他会把自己的国家暴露给他们从北面来的进攻。
(b) 在塞鲁士以前, 塞西亚人一直不断袭击波斯, 但在他征服了他们以后, 这些袭击就停止了, 这一情况引出一个非常可能的结论, 他一定已经筑起了一条屏障有效地阻止了这些攻击, 而这一屏障必然是那著名的窦本城墙, 即那一被错误地称为亚历山大的城墙。

Commentary:
The people who lived on the route of the depredatory incursions of Gog and Magog into Persia asked Cyrus to build a wall across the pass through which they made their raids.
1728
The words, Ya’juj and Ma’juj (Gog and Magog), are both derived from the root-word Ajja which means, he was quick in his pace; he or it became the flaming fire (Lane), and refer to the Scythians of the farthest East. Or, as some say, all nations inhabiting the north of Asia and Europe (Enc. Brit. & Jewish Enc. under "Gog" and "Magog," and Historians’ History of the World, vol. 2, p. 582 & Ezekiel, 38: 2-6 & 39: 6). The words may also apply to Christian nations of the West as they have made much use of burning fire and boiling water and because all their material progress and great discoveries and inventions are due to the right and very extensive use of these things. Or, the words may imply the restless behaviour of these nations as they are always on the lookout restlessly and impatiently to make new conquests.
The description of Gog and Magog as given in the Bible leaves no doubt that it applies to some Christian Powers of the West: First, because they are repr

The Scythians or Gog and Magog occupied territories to the north and northeast of the Black Sea and they came from these regions through the pass of Darband and invaded and conquered and ruled over the Persians. Cyrus defeated them and delivered the Persians from their clutches (Historians’ History of the World). Exactly, at the place which, according to Herodotus, was the pass through which the Scythians made raids upon Persia stood a wall, the famous Wall of Derbent.
Derbent or Darband, a town of Persia, Caucasia, in the province of Daghestan, on the western shore of the Caspian... And to the south lies the seaward extremity of the Caucasian wall, 50 miles long otherwise known as Alexander’s Wall, blocking the narrow pass of the Iron Gate or the Caspian Gate. This, when entire, had a height of 29 feet and a thickness of about 10 feet, and with its iron gates and numerous watch- towers formed a veritable defence of the Persian Frontier (Enc. Brit. under "Derbent").

They will have to bear, with patience and fortitude, like great Prophets of God, very great hardships and privations, and it is after they will come out of the ordeal triumphantly and unscathed that their cause will prevail.

Moreover, the Quran has been made easy in this sense also that it comprehends all those permanent and imperishable teachings that are found in other revealed Scriptures, with a great deal more that is indispensable for the guidance of man till the end of time (98:4).

The Qur’an has been made easy in this sense also that it comprehends all those permanent and imperishable teachings that are found in other revealed Scriptures, with a great deal more that is indispensable for the guidance of man till the end of time (98:4). The treasures of Divine realisation and deep mysteries of the unknown, which lie hidden in the Qur’an are accessible only to those few righteous men of God who are endowed with a special spiritual insight and who have scaled the dizzy heights of communion with the Divine Being and have been purified by Him (56:80).
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
Commentary:
The account of each of the four peoples of antiquity with whose history the pagan Quraish were quite conversant—the peoples of Noah and Lot and the tribes of ‘Ad and Thamud—ends with a stern warning, coupled with a pathetic appeal to them to learn a lesson from the fate of these peoples and not to reject the Message of the Quran which is revealed only for their good and rejection of which would land them into ruin.
