Surah Saba Tafseer

How the Disbelievers have agreed in this World to deny the Truth, and how They will dispute with One Another on the Day of Resurrection

Allah tells us about the excessive wrongdoing and stubbornness of the disbelievers, and their insistence on not believing in the Holy Qur'an and what it tells them about the Resurrection.

Allah says:

وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَن نُّوْمِنَ بِهَذَا الْقُرْانِ وَلَا بِالَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ

And those who disbelieve say:"We believe not in this Qur'an nor in that which was before it."

وَلَوْ تَرَى إِذِ الظَّالِمُونَ مَوْقُوفُونَ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ

But if you could see when the wrongdoers are made to stand before their Lord,

Allah threatens them and warns them of the humiliating position they will be in before Him, arguing and disputing with one another:

يَرْجِعُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ الْقَوْلَ يَقُولُ الَّذِينَ اسْتُضْعِفُوا

how they will cast the (blaming) word one to another! Those who were deemed weak (this refers to the followers) --

لِلَّذِينَ اسْتَكْبَرُوا

to those who were arrogant -- (this refers to the leaders and masters) --

لَوْلَا أَنتُمْ لَكُنَّا مُوْمِنِينَ

Had it not been for you, we should certainly have been believers!

meaning, `if you had not stopped us, we would have followed the Messengers and believed in what they brought.
