The Holy Quran 13:31 — Surah Ar-Ra'd

Arabic text

وَلَوْ أَنَّ قُرْءَانًا سُيِّرَتْ بِهِ ٱلْجِبَالُ أَوْ قُطِّعَتْ بِهِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَوْ كُلِّمَ بِهِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۗ بَل لِّلَّهِ ٱلْأَمْرُ جَمِيعًا ۗ أَفَلَمْ يَا۟يْـَٔسِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَن لَّوْ يَشَآءُ ٱللَّهُ لَهَدَى ٱلنَّاسَ جَمِيعًا ۗ وَلَا يَزَالُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ تُصِيبُهُم بِمَا صَنَعُوا۟ قَارِعَةٌ أَوْ تَحُلُّ قَرِيبًا مِّن دَارِهِمْ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِىَ وَعْدُ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُخْلِفُ ٱلْمِيعَادَ

Translation

If the Qur'aan was such that mountains are displaced by it, or the earth is split asunder (totally) by it, or the dead are made to speak (perfectly) by it (then too the Kuffaar will not believe. Regardless of the miracles they see, the Kuffaar will not accept Imaan because they have no desire for Imaan. Their requests for such miracles was only to frustrate Rasulullaah ﷺ). However, all matters rest with Allaah (only He can make miracles happen and only He can guide people). (So that the Mu'mineen should not lose hope when Allaah does not show the Kuffaar the miracles they request, Allaah says,) Do those who have Imaan not know that if Allaah willed, He would have guided all of mankind (to Islaam)? (However, Allaah did not will this for reasons best known to Him) (Since they will not accept Imaan, one may wonder then why are they not punished. Answering this question, Allaah says,) Because of their evil actions, some calamity will always afflict the Kuffaar (from time to time), or descend close to their homes (to instil fear in their hearts. this process will continue) until Allaah's promise comes (until they are finally punished in the Aakhirah). Undoubtedly Allaah does not break His promise.

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

يردُّ الله -تعالى- على الكافرين الذين طلبوا إنزال معجزات محسوسة على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيقول لهم: ولو أن ثمة قرآنًا يقرأ، فتزول به الجبال عن أماكنها، أو تتشقق به الأرض أنهارًا، أو يحيا به الموتى وتُكَلَّم -كما طلبوا منك- لكان هذا القرآن هو المتصف بذلك دون غيره، ولما آمنوا به. بل لله وحده الأمر كله في المعجزات وغيرها.
