19:82 Maryam (Mary)

{ وَنَرِثُهُ مَا يَقُولُ } أي: نرثه ماله وولده، فينتقل من الدنيا فردا، بلا مال ولا أهل ولا أنصار ولا أعوان { وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْدًا } فيرى من وخيم العذاب وأليم العقاب، ما هو جزاء أمثاله من الظالمين.

قال "كلا سيكفرون بعبادتهم" أي يوم القيامة "ويكونون عليهم ضدا" أي بخلاف ما ظنوا فيهم كما قال تعالى "ومن أضل ممن يدعوا من دون الله من لا يستجيب له إلى يوم القيامة وهم عن دعائهم غافلون وإذا حشر الناس كانوا لهم أعداء وكانوا بعبادتهم كافرين" وقرأ أبو نهيك "كل سيكفرون بعبادتهم" وقال السدي "كلا سيكفرون بعبادتهم" أي بعبادة الأوثان وقوله "ويكونون عليهم ضدا" أي بخلاف ما رجوا منهم وقال علي بن أبي طلحة عن ابن عباس "ويكونون عليهم ضدا" قال أعوانا قال مجاهد عونا عليهم تخاصمهم وتكذبهم وقال العوفي عن ابن عباس "ويكونون عليهم ضدا" قال قرناء وقال قتادة قرناء في النار يلعن بعضهم بعضا ويكفر بعضهم ببعض وقال السدي "ويكونون عليهم ضدا" قال الخصماء الأشداء في الخصومة وقال الضحاك "ويكونون عليهم ضدا" قال أعداء وقال ابن زيد: الضد البلاء وقال عكرمة: الضد الحسرة.

The Idols of the Polytheists will deny Their Worship

Allah, the Exalted, informs about the disbelievers who associate partners with their Lord, that they have taken gods besides Allah, so that these gods may be a source of honor and might for them. They think that these gods give them power and make them victorious. Then, Allah mentions that the matter is not as they claim, and it will not be as they hope. He says,

كَلاَّ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَـدَتِهِمْ

(Nay, but they will deny their worship of them,) on the Day of Judgement.

وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدّاً

(and will become their adversaries.) This means that they will be foes in a state other than what they think about these gods. This is similar to Allah's statement,

وَمَنْ أَضَلُّ مِمَّن يَدْعُو مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَن لاَّ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَـمَةِ وَهُمْ عَن دُعَآئِهِمْ غَـفِلُونَ - وَإِذَا حُشِرَ النَّاسُ كَانُواْ لَهُمْ أَعْدَآءً وَكَانُواْ بِعِبَادَتِهِمْ كَـفِرِينَ

(And who is more astray than one who calls upon, besides Allah, such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls to them And when mankind are gathered, they will become their enemies and will deny their worshipping.) 46:5-6 As-Suddi said,

كَلاَّ سَيَكْفُرُونَ بِعِبَـدَتِهِمْ

(Nay, but they will deny their worship of them,) "This means their worshipping of the idols. " Allah said,

وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدّاً

(and will become their adversaries) contrary to what they hoped for from these gods. As-Suddi said,

وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدّاً

(and will become their adversaries.) "They will be in severe opposition and argument." Ad-Dahhak said,

وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدّاً

(and will become their adversaries.) "This means enemies."

The Power of the Devils over the Disbelievers

Concerning Allah's statement,

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا الشَّيَـطِينَ عَلَى الْكَـفِرِينَ تَؤُزُّهُمْ أَزّاً

(See you not that We have sent the Shayatin against the disbelievers to push them to do evil.) `Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn `Abbas said, "They will lead them astray with temptation." Al-`Awfi said that Ibn `Abbas said, "They will incite them against Muhammad and his Companions." Qatadah said, "They will harass them and disturb them until they disobey Allah." `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd said, "This is similar to Allah's statement,

وَمَن يَعْشُ عَن ذِكْرِ الرَّحْمَـنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُ شَيْطَاناً فَهُوَ لَهُ قَرِينٌ

(And whosoever turns away blindly from the remembrance of the Most Gracious, We appoint for him a Shaytan to be a companion for him.)" 43:36 Concerning Allah's statement,

فَلاَ تَعْجَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدّاً

(So make no haste against them; We only count out to them a (limited) number.) This means, "Do not be hasty with the punishment that is going to befall them, O Muhammad."

إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدّاً

(We only count out to them a number. ) This means, "We are only delaying them for a fixed appointment whose time is numbered. They are destined for that and there is no escaping the torment of Allah and His exemplary punishment." Allah says,

وَلاَ تَحْسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غَـفِلاً عَمَّا يَعْمَلُ الظَّـلِمُونَ

(And consider not that Allah is unaware of that which the wrongdoers do.) 14:42 And He says,

فَمَهِّلِ الْكَـفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْداً

(So give a respite to the disbelievers; deal gently with them for a while.) 86:17 And Allah says,

إِنَّمَا نُمْلِى لَهُمْ لِيَزْدَادُواْ إِثْمَاً

(We postpone the punishment only so that they may increase in sinfulness.) 3:178

نُمَتِّعُهُمْ قَلِيلاً ثُمَّ نَضْطَرُّهُمْ إِلَى عَذَابٍ غَلِيظٍ

(We let them enjoy for a little while, then in the end We shall oblige them to (enter) a great torment.) 31:24

قُلْ تَمَتَّعُواْ فَإِنَّ مَصِيرَكُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ

(Say: "Enjoy! But certainly, your destination is the (Hell) Fire.") 14:30 As-Suddi said,

إِنَّمَا نَعُدُّ لَهُمْ عَدّاً

(We only count out to them a (limited) number. ) means years, months, days and hours."

يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى الرَّحْمَـنِ وَفْداً

وَنَسُوقُ الْمُجْرِمِينَ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ وِرْداً

Nay that is to say there is none to prevent their being chastised but they namely the idol gods shall reject their worship that is they will deny it — as is stated in another verse It was not us that they used to worship Q. 2863 — and they shall be pitted against them as opponents enemies supporting one another against them.

وَيَكُونُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِدًّا

"And they will be just the opposite for them" - 19:82.

The idols and the false gods whom the infidels worshipped in the hope of winning their help will turn against them on the Day of Judgment. God will grant speech to them and they will say, "0 God! Finish these sinners because they turned away from you and made us the objects of their worship."
