Surah Al Anfal Tafseer

ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ شَأقُّواْ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ

This is because they defied and disobeyed Allah and His Messenger.

joining the camp that defied Allah and His Messenger not including themselves in the camp of Allah's Law and faith in Him.

Allah said,

وَمَن يُشَاقِقِ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ

And whoever defies and disobeys Allah and His Messenger, then verily, Allah is severe in punishment.

for He will crush whoever defies and disobeys Him. Nothing ever escapes Allah's grasp nor can anything ever stand against His anger. Blessed and exalted He is, there is no true deity or Lord except Him.

ذَلِكُمْ فَذُوقُوهُ وَأَنَّ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَذَابَ النَّارِ
