Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

If They Disobey, They Will PerishAllah said,وَرَبُّكَ(And your Lord...), O Muhammad,الْغَنِىُّ(is Al-Ghani) Rich, free from needing His creatures in any way or form, while they stand in need of Him in all situations,ذُو الرَّحْمَةِ(full of mercy;) towards creation. Allah said in another Ayah,إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ(Truly, Allah is full of kindness, the Most Merciful towards mankind.) 2:143إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ(if He wills, He can destroy you.
