وَمَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ إِلَّا لَهۡوٞ وَلَعِبٞۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ لَهِيَ ٱلۡحَيَوَانُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٦٤
And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew.

Commentary on 29:62–64
القَوْلُ في تَأْوِيلِ قَوْلِهِ تَعالى:
[٦٢ - ٦٤] ﴿اللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشاءُ مِن عِبادِهِ ويَقْدِرُ لَهُ إنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ﴾ ﴿ولَئِنْ سَألْتَهم مَن نَـزَّلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأحْيا بِهِ الأرْضَ مِن بَعْدِ مَوْتِها لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ قُلِ الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ بَلْ أكْثَرُهم لا يَعْقِلُونَ﴾ [العنكبوت: ٦٣] ﴿وما هَذِهِ الحَياةُ الدُّنْيا إلا لَهْوٌ ولَعِبٌ وإنَّ الدّارَ الآخِرَةَ لَهي الحَيَوانُ لَوْ كانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ﴾ [العنكبوت: ٦٤]
(p-٤٧٦٢)﴿اللَّهُ يَبْسُطُ الرِّزْقَ لِمَن يَشاءُ مِن عِبادِهِ ويَقْدِرُ لَهُ إنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ﴾ أيْ: فَيَفْعَلُ بِعِلْمِهِ، ما تَقْتَضِيهِ حِكْمَتُهُ ﴿ولَئِنْ سَألْتَهم مَن نَـزَّلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأحْيا بِهِ الأرْضَ مِن بَعْدِ مَوْتِها لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ قُلِ الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ﴾ [العنكبوت: ٦٣] أيْ: عَلى أنْ جَعَلَ الحَقَّ بِحَيْثُ لا يَجْتَرِئُ المُبْطِلُونَ عَلى جُحُودِهِ. وأنَّهُ أظْهَرَ حُجَّتَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ. والمَعْنى: احْمَدِ اللَّهَ عَنْ جَوابِهِمُ المَذْكُورِ عَلى إلْزامِهِمْ وظُهُورِ نِعَمٍ لا تُحْصى: ﴿بَلْ أكْثَرُهم لا يَعْقِلُونَ﴾ [العنكبوت: ٦٣] أيْ: فَلِذَلِكَ يَتَناقَضُونَ حَيْثُ يَنْسُبُونَ النِّعْمَةَ إلَيْهِمْ، ويَعْبُدُونَ غَيْرَهُ. وقَوْلُهُ: ﴿وما هَذِهِ الحَياةُ الدُّنْيا إلا لَهْوٌ ولَعِبٌ﴾ [العنكبوت: ٦٤] إشارَةٌ إلى ازْدِراءِ الدُّنْيا وتَحْقِيرِ شَأْنِها، وكَوْنِها في سُرْعَةِ زَوالِها، وتَقَضِّي أمْرِها، كَما يَلْهى ويَلْعَبُ بِهِ الصِّبْيانُ، ثُمَّ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ عَنْهُ. ولا ثَمَرَةَ إلّا التَّعَبُ. فَفي الحَصْرِ تَشْبِيهٌ بَلِيغٌ: ﴿وإنَّ الدّارَ الآخِرَةَ لَهي الحَيَوانُ﴾ [العنكبوت: ٦٤] أيْ: دارُ الحَياةِ الخالِدَةِ. فَفِيهِ مُضافٌ مُقَدَّرٌ. و(الحَيَوانُ) مَصْدَرٌ سُمِّيَ بِهِ ذُو الحَياةِ، في غَيْرِ هَذا المَحَلِّ. وإيثارُهُ عَلى (الحَياةِ) لِما فِيهِ مِنَ المُبالَغَةِ. لِأنَّ (فَعْلانَ) بِالفَتْحِ في المَصادِرِ الدّالَّةِ عَلى الحَرَكَةِ: ﴿لَوْ كانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ﴾ [العنكبوت: ٦٤] أيْ: لَمْ يُؤْثِرُوا عَلَيْها الدُّنْيا الَّتِي حَياتُها عارِضَةٌ. وهَذا جَوابُ الشَّرْطِ المُقَدَّرِ. لِعِلْمِهِ مِنَ السِّياقِ. وكَوْنُها لِلتَّمَنِّي بَعِيدٌ.

وَمَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَآ إِلَّا لَهۡوٞ وَلَعِبٞۚ وَإِنَّ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ لَهِيَ ٱلۡحَيَوَانُۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٦٤
And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew.
29:65
فَإِذَا رَكِبُواْ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ دَعَوُاْ ٱللَّهَ مُخۡلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰهُمۡ إِلَى ٱلۡبَرِّ إِذَا هُمۡ يُشۡرِكُونَ ٦٥
And when they board a ship, they supplicate Allāh, sincere to Him in religion [i.e., faith and hope]. But when He delivers them to the land, at once they associate others with Him
29:66
لِيَكۡفُرُواْ بِمَآ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمۡ وَلِيَتَمَتَّعُواْۚ فَسَوۡفَ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٦٦
So that they will deny what We have granted them, and they will enjoy themselves. But they are going to know.1
1 translator’s note
- Grammatically, the verse may also be read as a threat, i.e., "So let them deny what We have granted them and let them enjoy themselves, for they are going to know." ↩
29:67
أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ أَنَّا جَعَلۡنَا حَرَمًا ءَامِنٗا وَيُتَخَطَّفُ ٱلنَّاسُ مِنۡ حَوۡلِهِمۡۚ أَفَبِٱلۡبَٰطِلِ يُؤۡمِنُونَ وَبِنِعۡمَةِ ٱللَّهِ يَكۡفُرُونَ ٦٧
Have they not seen that We made [Makkah] a safe sanctuary, while people are being taken away1 all around them? Then in falsehood do they believe, and in the favor of Allāh they disbelieve?
1 translator’s note
- i.e., killed and taken captive. ↩
29:68
وَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوۡ كَذَّبَ بِٱلۡحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَهُۥٓۚ أَلَيۡسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثۡوٗى لِّلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٦٨
And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allāh or denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a [sufficient] residence for the disbelievers?
29:69
وَٱلَّذِينَ جَٰهَدُواْ فِينَا لَنَهۡدِيَنَّهُمۡ سُبُلَنَاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمَعَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ٦٩
And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways.1 And indeed, Allāh is with the doers of good.
1 translator’s note
- The various ways and means to attain the acceptance and pleasure of Allāh. ↩
