| This Surah (Revealed) Meccan or Medinese, consisting of 6 verses; this was revealed when a band of
idolaters said to the Prophet (s), âWhat if you worship our gods for one year, and we worship your God the
next?â(Al-Kâfirân)

| بِسْم ِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ | |
|
Tafseer
Say: âO disbelievers!
|
|
Tafseer
I do not worship, at present, what you worship, of idols,
|
|
Tafseer
and you do not worship, at present, what I worship, and that is God, exalted be
He, alone,
|
|
Tafseer
nor will I worship, in the future, what you have worshipped,
|
|
Tafseer
nor will you worship, in the future, what I worship: God knew that they would
never become believers (the use of [the inanimate] mā, âwhatâ, to refer to God is meant to counter [the
reference to âwhat thingâ they worship]).
|
|
Tafseer
You have your religion, idolatry, and I have a religionâ, Islam: this was
[revealed] before he was commanded to wage war [against the idolaters] (all seven Qurâānic readers omit the yāâ of
the genitive possessive construction [in wa-liya dīni] whether with a pause or without; Yaâqūb, however,
retains it in both cases).
