Tafsir of verse 67
Al-Mukhtasar
If I had willed to alter their form and make them sit on their feet I would have altered their form and made them sit on their feet, and they will not be able to move from their place nor will they be able to move forward nor backward.
And if We willed, We could have paralyzed them in their places18, so they could neither move forward nor backward.
Notes
[18] i.e., We could turn them into inanimate objects.
And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (into animals or lifeless objects) in their places. Then they would have been unable to go forward (move about) nor they could have turned back.5
Notes
[5] (V.36:67) See (V.7:166) and the footnote of (V.5:90).
And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back.
And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (to remain) in their places; then should they have been unable to move about, nor could they have returned (after error).
And if We please We would surely transform them in their place, then they would not be able to go on, nor will they return.
And if We had (so) decided, We would have indeed disfigured them in (spite of) their situation; then in no way could they be passing, nor could they return.
