Tafsir of verse 5

Al-Mukhtasar

While they have turned away from these clear evidences and proofs, they had previously turned away from something even clearer: they denied the Qur’ān that Muhammad (peace be upon him) brought. They will soon realise, when they see the punishment on the Day of Rising, that what they used to mock and what he brought to them was in fact the truth.

Tafsir of the whole Surah Al-An’am

Other translations of verse 5

They rejected the truth when it came to them, but soon they will face the consequences of what they used to ridicule.

Indeed, they rejected the truth (the Qur’ân and Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم)1 when it came to them, but there will come to them the news of that (the torment) which they used to mock at.

Notes

[1] (V.6:5) See the footnote of (V.3:85) and also see (V.3:116).

And they denied the truth when it came unto them. But there will come unto them the tidings of that which they used to deride.

And now they reject the truth when it reaches them: but soon shall they learn the reality of what they used to mock at.

So they have indeed rejected the truth when it came to them; therefore the truth of what they mocked at will shine upon them.

So they already cried lies to the Truth as soon as it came to them. Then the tidings of whatever they used to mock will eventually come up to them.
