Commentary on 12:106
قَوْلُهُ تَعالى: ﴿وَما يُؤْمِنُ أكْثَرُهم بِاللَّهِ إلا وهم مُشْرِكُونَ﴾ فِيهِمْ ثَلاثَةُ أقْوالٍ:
أحَدُها: أنَّهُمُ المُشْرِكُونَ، ثُمَّ في مَعْناها المُتَعَلِّقِ بِهِمْ قَوْلانِ: أحَدُهُما: أنَّهم يُؤْمِنُونَ بِأنَّ اللَّهَ خالِقُهم ورازِقُهم وهم يُشْرِكُونَ بِهِ، رَواهُ أبُو صالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبّاسٍ، وبِهِ قالَ مُجاهِدٌ، وعِكْرِمَةُ، والشَّعْبِيُّ، وقَتادَةُ. والثّانِي: أنَّها نَزَلَتْ في تَلْبِيَةِ مُشْرِكِي العَرَبِ، كانُوا يَقُولُونَ: لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ، لَبَّيْكَ لا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، إلّا شَرِيكًا هو لَكَ، تَمْلِكُهُ وما مَلَكَ، رَواهُ الضَّحّاكُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبّاسٍ.
والثّانِي: أنَّهُمُ النَّصارى، يُؤْمِنُونَ بِأنَّهُ خالِقُهم ورازِقُهم، ومَعَ ذَلِكَ يُشْرِكُونَ بِهِ، رَواهُ العَوْفِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبّاسٍ.
والثّالِثُ: أنَّهُمُ المُنافِقُونَ، يُؤْمِنُونَ في الظّاهِرِ رِئاءَ النّاسِ، وهم في الباطِنِ كافِرُونَ، قالَهُ الحَسَنُ.
فَإنْ قِيلَ: كَيْفَ وصَفَ المُشْرِكَ بِالإيمانِ ؟
فالجَواب: أنَّهُ لَيْسَ المُرادُ بِهِ حَقِيقَةَ الإيمانِ، وإنَّما المَعْنى: أنَّ أكْثَرَهم، مَعَ إظْهارِهِمُ الإيمانَ بِألْسِنَتِهِمْ، مُشْرِكُونَ.

12:104
وَمَا تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۚ إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ ١٠٤
And you do not ask of them for it any payment. It is not except a reminder to the worlds.
12:105
وَكَأَيِّن مِّنۡ ءَايَةٖ فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهَا وَهُمۡ عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضُونَ ١٠٥
And how many a sign within the heavens and earth do they pass over while they, therefrom, are turning away.
12:106
وَمَا يُؤۡمِنُ أَكۡثَرُهُم بِٱللَّهِ إِلَّا وَهُم مُّشۡرِكُونَ ١٠٦
And most of them believe not in Allāh except while they associate others with Him.
12:107
أَفَأَمِنُوٓاْ أَن تَأۡتِيَهُمۡ غَٰشِيَةٞ مِّنۡ عَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ أَوۡ تَأۡتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ١٠٧
Then do they feel secure that there will not come to them an overwhelming [aspect] of the punishment of Allāh or that the Hour will not come upon them suddenly while they do not perceive?
12:108
قُلۡ هَٰذِهِۦ سَبِيلِيٓ أَدۡعُوٓاْ إِلَى ٱللَّهِۚ عَلَىٰ بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا۠ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَنِيۖ وَسُبۡحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ ١٠٨
Say, "This is my way; I invite to Allāh with insight, I and those who follow me. And exalted is Allāh; and I am not of those who associate others with Him."
12:109
وَمَآ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن قَبۡلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالٗا نُّوحِيٓ إِلَيۡهِم مِّنۡ أَهۡلِ ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓۗ أَفَلَمۡ يَسِيرُواْ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ فَيَنظُرُواْ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡۗ وَلَدَارُ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ خَيۡرٞ لِّلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ ١٠٩
And We sent not before you [as messengers] except men to whom We revealed from among the people of cities. So have they1 not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? And the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allāh; then will you not reason?

12:110
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ٱسۡتَيۡـَٔسَ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوٓاْ أَنَّهُمۡ قَدۡ كُذِبُواْ جَآءَهُمۡ نَصۡرُنَا فَنُجِّيَ مَن نَّشَآءُۖ وَلَا يُرَدُّ بَأۡسُنَا عَنِ ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ ١١٠
[They continued] until, when the messengers despaired and were certain that they had been denied, there came to them Our victory, and whoever We willed was saved. And Our punishment cannot be repelled from the people who are criminals.
12:111
لَقَدۡ كَانَ فِي قَصَصِهِمۡ عِبۡرَةٞ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِۗ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثٗا يُفۡتَرَىٰ وَلَٰكِن تَصۡدِيقَ ٱلَّذِي بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَتَفۡصِيلَ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ وَهُدٗى وَرَحۡمَةٗ لِّقَوۡمٖ يُؤۡمِنُونَ ١١١
There was certainly in their stories a lesson for those of understanding. Never was it [i.e., the Qur’ān] a narration invented, but a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of all things and guidance and mercy for a people who believe.
