Fatir (Originator)
Verse 39of 45
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَٰٓئِفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ فَمَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُۥ ۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ إِلَّا مَقْتًۭا ۖ وَلَا يَزِيدُ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ كُفْرُهُمْ إِلَّا خَسَارًۭا﴿٣٩﴾
Translation (Sahih International)
It is He who has made you successors upon the earth. And whoever disbelieves - upon him will be [the consequence of] his disbelief. And the disbelief of the disbelievers does not increase them in the sight of their Lord except in hatred; and the disbelief of the disbelievers does not increase them except in loss.
Word-by-word meaning
Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
هُوَ الَّذِى جَعَلَكُمْ خَلَـئِفَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ(He it is Who has made you successors generations after generations in the earth,) meaning, all people succeed one another, generation after generation. This is like the Ayah:وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ حُلَفَآءَ الاٌّرْضِ(and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations) (27:62).فَمَن كَفَرَ فَعَلَيْهِ كُفْرُهُ(so whosoever disbelieves, on him will be his disbelief.) means, he and no one else will have to bear the consequences of that.
