Surah Ibrahim Tafseer

قَالَتْ لَهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ إِن نَّحْنُ إِلاَّ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ

Their Messengers said to them:"We are no more than human beings like you..."

affirming that truly, they were only human being like their nations,

وَلَـكِنَّ اللّهَ يَمُنُّ عَلَى مَن يَشَاء مِنْ عِبَادِهِ

but Allah bestows His grace to whom He wills of His servants,

with Prophethood and Messengership which is His choice,

وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا أَن نَّأْتِيَكُم بِسُلْطَانٍ

It is not ours to bring you an authority,

according to your choice,

إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِ اللّهِ

except by the permission of Allah,

after we beg Him and He provides us with a miracle,

وَعلَى اللّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُوْمِنُونَ

And in Allah (alone) let the believers put their trust.

in all their affairs.
