Surah Muhammad Tafseer

The Reward of the Disbelievers and the Believers,

Allah says.

الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا

Those who disbelieve, (meaning, in the Ayat of Allah).

وَصَدُّوا

and hinder (men) (Others).

عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَضَلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ

from the path of Allah, He will render their deeds vain.

meaning, He renders their deeds vain and futile, and He denies them any rewards or blessings for them. This is similar to His saying,

وَقَدِمْنَأ إِلَى مَا عَمِلُواْ مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ هَبَأءً مَّنثُوراً

And We will approach what they have done of deeds and make them as dispersed dust. (25:23)

Allah then says
