The Holy Quran 42:24 — Surah Ash-Shuraa

Arabic text

أَمْ يَقُولُونَ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا ۖ فَإِن يَشَإِ ٱللَّهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ ۗ وَيَمْحُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْبَـٰطِلَ وَيُحِقُّ ٱلْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ عَلِيمٌۢ بِذَاتِ ٱلصُّدُورِ

Translation

Or do they (the Mushrikeen) say that he (Rasulullaah ﷺ) has forged a lie against Allaah (by claiming that Allaah made him a Rasool and gave him the Qur'aan)? (O Rasulullaah ﷺ)! (Do they not realise that if you are inventing lies about Allaah, then) If Allaah desires (to prevent you from lying about Him), He could seal your heart (rendering you incapable of saying or doing anything?). Allaah eradicates (blots out) falsehood and establishes (verifies) the truth with His words. (Therefore, no false prophet can ever hope to succeed.) Undoubtedly He has thorough knowledge of the secrets of the heart.

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

بل أيقول هؤلاء المشركون: اختلق محمد الكذب على الله، فجاء بالذي يتلوه علينا اختلاقًا من عند نفسه؟ فإن يشأ الله يطبع على قلبك -أيها الرسول- لو فعلت ذلك. ويُذْهِبُ الله الباطل فيمحقه، ويحق الحق بكلماته التي لا تتبدل ولا تتغيَّر، وبوعده الصادق الذي لا يتخلف. إن الله عليم بما في قلوب العباد، لا يخفى عليه شيء منه.
