وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُۥٓ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ وَإِن يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَا رَآدَّ لِفَضْلِهِۦ ۚ يُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

6:18; 39:39.
There is a kind of good which is subject to the laws of nature and can be achieved by man by his own efforts. But there is another kind of good which comes to man through God’s special grace.
6:18; 39:39.
Commentary:
This verse sheds light on the fact that good and evil are of two kinds. There is a kind of good or evil which comes into being under the general divine law. It is subject to the laws of nature and therefore can be brought about or averted, through the efforts of man himself by defying or obeying the laws of nature, as the case may be. But there is another kind of good or evil which is brought about only by the special decree of God. By saying this the verse hints that God’s dealings with the Holy Prophet are subject to God’s special decree. This is why all the schemes and machinations of his enemies proved utterly futile.

قَالَ سَوْفَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ رَبِّىٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Important Words:
سوف (will) is a word used to change the aorist from the present (حال) to the future (مستقبل) denoting postponement. سوف افعل means, I will do (not I do or am doing) such a thing. The Arabs say, فلان یقتات السوف i.e. such a one lives only by means of things hoped for (Lane). See 9:28.
Commentary:
Jacob’s reply to the request of his sons for forgiveness portrays the true inner nature of man. He hints to them in the word سوف (will) that after reconciliation, love and affection do not at once take the place of anger and wrath in the heart of a person. The after-effects of bitterness take some time to disappear. Joseph had been preparing himself for a long time to pardon his brothers, so his forgiveness was full and immediate and he also prayed to God to forgive them. But such was not the case with Jacob. This is why Jacob said that he would take some time to become fully reconciled with them and to be in a position to pray for them, though at the same time he comforted his erring sons by drawing their attention to the great mercy and all-comprehensive forgiveness of God.

Commentary:
In the previous verses two classes of men were mentioned: firstly, those who had incurred the displeasure of God by their evil deeds and thus had made themselves deserving of punishment; secondly, the righteous who had attained salvation. The verse under comment is addressed to both these classes of men under the common appellation of "My servants" which contains a message of hope and good cheer for both of them. To sinners the verse says that they should not despair of God’s mercy because, being الغفور (Most Forgiving), He can forgive all their sins, no matter how serious and numerous they may be. And the righteous are told that they should not become content with the good works they have already done, but should continue to excel in such deeds for, God being الرحیم (Merciful), the more they advance in virtue the greater measure of mercy will they receive at His hands in the form of an increased reward of their deeds. For the full meaning of the Divine attribute الرحیم (Merciful) see 1:1.

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى فَٱغْفِرْ لِى فَغَفَرَ لَهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
ظَلَمَهٗ (Zalama-hu) 的意思是:他加在他身上一个他无力或不能承担的负载;他把自己暴露在危险的境地之中 (Lane和 مُفْرَدَات Mufradat)。穆撒意识到在力图帮助一个可怜的以色列人时, 他偶然杀死了那个埃及人, 这样他的处境非常危险, 把自己就承担了一个显然他担当不了的沉重压力。因此他祈求安拉保护他免受可能由于他偶尔打死了一个统治者民族中的人而产生的恶果。
Zalama-hu means, he imposed upon him a burden which was beyond his power or ability to bear; he exposed himself to danger (Lane & Mufradat). Moses realized that in trying to help the poor Israelite he had happened to kill the Egyptian and thus had exposed himself to a great danger and had taken upon himself a burden which apparently he could not bear. So he prayed to God to protect him from the evil consequences that might flow from his accidentally killing a member of the ruling race.
Important Words:
ظلمت (I have wronged my soul) is derived from ظلم which means, he did wrong; he acted unjustly or tyrannically; he put a thing in a wrong place; he made one to suffer loss or detriment. ظلمه also signifies, he imposed upon him a burden that was beyond his power or ability to bear; he exposed himself to danger (Lane, Aqrab & Mufradat). See also 2:36, 52 & 17:60.

12:88; 15:57.
The verse holds out a message of hope and good cheer to the sinners. It encourages optimism and kills despair and despondency. It denounces and condemns pessimism because pessimism lies at the root of most sins and failures in life. Again and again the Qur’an gives a promise of Divine mercy and forgiveness (6:55; 7:157; 12:88; 15:57; 18:59) than which there could be no greater message of solace and comfort for the grieved and the heavy-laden.

Commentary:
The present is one of the most beautiful verses of the Quran. It holds out a message of hope and good cheer to those who have wronged their souls. It encourages optimism and kills despair and despondency. It denounces and condemns pessimism because pessimism lies at the root of most sins and failures in life. Again and again the Quran gives a promise of Divine mercy and forgiveness. "Despair not of the mercy of Allah," it says, "for none despair of Allah’s mercy save the disbelieving people" (12:88). Again it says: "And who can despair of the mercy of his Lord save those who go astray" (15:57). There could be no greater message of solace and comfort for the grieved and the heavy-laden than this. The God of Islam is "Most Forgiving, full of mercy" (18:59). "He has taken it upon Himself to show mercy" (6:55). "His mercy encompasses all things" (7:157). Such is the God of Islam. He can and does forgive the sins of His servants and does not need the vicarious sacrifice of anyone for this purpose. He only requires a change of heart on the part of the sinner. According to Islam, the sinner is never beyond redemption. The Holy Prophet has beautifully explained this verse in one of his sayings, viz. من قال ھلک الناس فھو أھلکھم i.e. "He who says that the people have gone to ruin, it is he who, in fact, leads them to ruin" (Muslim).

这节经文给所有有罪的人一个充满希望和高兴的消息。这个消息鼓舞起乐观的情绪并且去除了失望的心情。它谴责悲观主义, 因为悲观主义是形成生活中大部分罪恶和失败的根源。«古兰经» 一再述及安拉永久仁慈和宽恕的许约 (6:55; 7:157; 12:88; 15:57; 18:59)。对于悲痛和心情沉重的人来说, 没有比这样的许约更大的并充满着安慰作用的消息了。

تَكَادُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِن فَوْقِهِنَّ ۚ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ أَلَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
فَوْق کے معنے اوپر کے ہیں اور مِنْ کے معنے سبب اور غایت کے بھی ہوتے ہیں۔ آسمان پر فَوْق خداتعالیٰ ہے پس ہم نے اس آیت کا یہ ترجمہ کیا ہے کہ آسمان اپنے اوپر غالب ہستی کے حکم سے پھٹ کر گر جائیں۔
اس میں یہ بتایا گیا ہے کہ گو ملائکہ انسانوں کی مغفرت کے لئے دعائیں کر رہے ہیں اور خداتعالیٰ کی حمد اور تسبیح بھی کر رہے ہیں لیکن پھر بھی انسان اتنا گندہ ہو گیا ہے کہ آسمانوں کا رب اس کو تباہ کرنا چاہتا ہے اور اس کے حکم تباہی کے مقابلہ میں فرشتوں کا آسمان کے کناروں پر دعائیں کرنا کوئی حقیقت نہیں رکھتا۔
اس حصہ آیت سے اس طرف اشارہ کیا گیا ہے کہ باوجود فرشتوں کے استغفار کرنے کے خداتعالیٰ کا نظامِ دنیوی کو توڑ دینا اور انسان کو ہلاک کر دینا خداتعالیٰ کی غَفَّارِی اور رَحِیْمِیّت کے خلاف نہیں کیونکہ جو انسان دنیا میں ہلاک کیے جائیں گے وہ اپنی بدیوں کی وجہ سے ہلاک کیے جائیں گے اور ان کے متعلق سورۃ الفرقان میں خداتعالیٰ پہلے ہی کہہ چکا ہے کہ قُلْ مَایَعْبَؤُا بِکُمْ رَبِّیْ لَوْ لَادُعَآؤُکُمْ (ع۶) تو کہہ دے کہ اگر تم خداتعالیٰ کے حضور عاجزانہ طور پر نہ گرو تو اللہ تعالیٰ کو تمہارے جیسے ذلیل لوگوں کے ہلاک کرنے کی پروا ہی کیا ہو سکتی ہے۔ پس اس دنیا کے گنہگا
13:14.
Man’s sin is great but greater is God’s mercy which transcends all His attributes. God’s mercy and the asking for forgiveness by angels for man combine to save him from Divine punishment and he is granted respite to make amends.
13:14; 16:50-51.
Commentary:
The verse may mean that man’s sins and his ingratitude are so great that their enormity might cause the heavens to rend asunder but God’s mercy and forgiveness are greater than man’s sins. These Divine attributes demanded the revelation of the Quran in order that mankind might be delivered from sin. Besides this, angels beg of God forgiveness and mercy for His erring creatures. The reference in the verse may also be to the blasphemous dogma of the Sonship of Jesus, which is so heinous a doctrine that in spite of God’s grace and mercy and of the fact that angels beg of God forgiveness for His sinful creatures, God will destroy those people who hold this belief. But to those who repent God is Most Forgiving and Merciful.

Commentary:
After effectively refuting شرک (idolatry) in the preceding few verses, the Surah, in the present verse, proceeds to deal with the next important topic—Divine revelation. It purports to say that forging lies about God, being a fatal poison, is bound to bring about the spiritual death and destruction of the forger. This is the significance of the words: "You cannot avail me aught against Allah." The words, "Sufficient is He for a witness between me and you," signify that "if I am a forger of lies against God, He would not let me go unpunished, but if you reject the Message of Truth, you too will have to suffer the evil consequences of your rejection."
