وَإِذَا رَءَاكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي يَذۡكُرُ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَهُم بِذِكۡرِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ هُمۡ كَٰفِرُونَ ٣٦ خُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِنۡ عَجَلٖۚ سَأُوْرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِي فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ٣٧
The reason why the haste of man is mentioned here is that when mention is made of those who mock the Messenger (ﷺ), the believers wanted to take revenge on them swiftly. Allah says, (Man is created of haste) because He gives respite to the transgressor until his time comes, and once He seizes him, He will never let him go. Ibn Kathir: 3/175.
Question: What is the wisdom behind mentioning haste after mentioning the mockers of the Prophet (ﷺ)?
خُلِقَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مِنۡ عَجَلٖۚ سَأُوْرِيكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِي فَلَا تَسۡتَعۡجِلُونِ ٣٧
Be aware that there is no disparity between this verse (Man was created of haste) and (so do not ask Me to hasten them). One may say: How does Allah say that man is created of haste and predisposed to it, then He forbids him from acting based on his disposition? Because it is attainable for him. We say: Yes, man is predisposed to haste, but he can control himself to become patient, just as he is predisposed to loving desirable things, but he can control himself and keep it way. Al-Shanqiti: 4/152.
Question: How do you reconcile the fact that haste is a man's nature, and yet he is commanded to do the opposite of his nature?
لَوۡ يَعۡلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ حِينَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ عَن وُجُوهِهِمُ ٱلنَّارَ وَلَا عَن ظُهُورِهِمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ يُنصَرُونَ ٣٩
Allah mentions the (faces) because the face is the most honored part of man, in addition to the fact that it has all the senses, and man does his utmost to defend his face. Then, Allah mentions the (backs) to indicate the spread of fire all over their bodies. Ibn Atiyah: 4/83.
Question: Faces and backs are singled out for mention in this verse. Why?
قُلۡ مَن يَكۡلَؤُكُم بِٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ ٤٢
(Say, "Who can protect you"), who guards you, which means: Say, there is no protector of you at night when you are asleep, and during the day when you are engaged in your affairs. Al-Qurtubi: 14/207-208.
Question: Have you felt Allah's protection over you at night and during the day?
قُلۡ مَن يَكۡلَؤُكُم بِٱلَّيۡلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ مِنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّهِم مُّعۡرِضُونَ ٤٢
The mention of (night) comes first because it is a time of fears. In darkness, the means for causing harm by humans, animals, and sickness in the body are easier. Ibn Ashur: 17/74.
Question: In this verse, the mention of (night) precedes the mention of (day), why?
بَلۡ مَتَّعۡنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡعُمُرُۗ
Meaning: We have extended for them and their fathers the enjoinment of this life, which was prolonged for them until they thought that it would never cease; they became deluded and turned away from reflecting on the signs of Allah, the Almighty. Al-Qurtubi: 14/209.
Question: When does the servant become deluded by the blessings of Allah upon him?
بَلۡ مَتَّعۡنَا هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمۡ حَتَّىٰ طَالَ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلۡعُمُرُۗ أَفَلَا يَرَوۡنَ أَنَّا نَأۡتِي ٱلۡأَرۡضَ نَنقُصُهَا مِنۡ أَطۡرَافِهَآۚ أَفَهُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبُونَ ٤٤
(We have provided good things for these [disbelievers]), We have given them enjoyment with blessings and good health in worldly life, but they transgressed and forgot Allah's punishment. Ibn Juzay: 2/37.
Question: When do wealth and bliss become disastrous to the servant?
