The Forgiver · Juz 24 · Page 471
وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ يُوسُفُ مِن قَبۡلُ بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ فَمَا زِلۡتُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّمَّا جَآءَكُم بِهِۦۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا هَلَكَ قُلۡتُمۡ لَن يَبۡعَثَ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ رَسُولٗاۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡرِفٞ مُّرۡتَابٌ ٣٤
And Joseph had already come to you before with clear proofs, but you remained in doubt of that which he brought to you, until when he died, you said, 'Never will Allāh send a messenger after him.' Thus does Allāh leave astray he who is a transgressor and skeptic."

Commentary on 40:34
٣٤ - ﴿وَلَقَدۡ جَآءَكُمۡ يُوسُفُ﴾ ابن يعقوب عليهما السلام ﴿مِن قَبۡلُ﴾ أي: من قبل مجيء موسى عليه السلام ﴿بِٱلۡبَيِّنَٰتِ﴾ أي: بالمعجزات الظاهرات، والدلائل الواضحات، على صدقه ورسالته، فدعاكم إلى عبادة الله وحده، لا شريك له.وكان مجيء يوسف إلى آبائهم، حين كان عزيز أهل مصر، فنُسب ما للآباء إلى الأبناء، لاشتراكهم جميعاً في الضلال والتكذيب.﴿فَمَا زِلۡتُمۡ فِي شَكّٖ مِّمَّا جَآءَكُم بِهِۦۖ﴾ يوسف من البيّنات والآيات الدالّة على صدقه ﴿حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا هَلَكَ﴾ أي: مات يوسف عليه السلام ﴿قُلۡتُمۡ﴾ من غير حجّة ولا برهان: ﴿لَن يَبۡعَثَ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ﴾ أي: من بعد يوسف ﴿رَسُولٗاۚ﴾ فكفرتم به في حياته، وبمن بعده من الرسل بعد موته.﴿كَذَٰلِكَ﴾ أي: مثل إضلالكم ﴿يُضِلُّ ٱللَّهُ مَنۡ هُوَ مُسۡرِفٞ﴾ في معاصي الله، مستكثر منها، متجاوز للحدّ فيها ﴿مُّرۡتَابٌ﴾ في دين الله، شاك في وحدانيته، ووعده ووعيده، وفيما شهدت به النّبوات، وأخبرت به الرّسل، فكحالكم هذا يكون حال من يضلّه الله، لإسرافه في أفعاله، وارتياب قلبه.

40:35
ٱلَّذِينَ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِيٓ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ بِغَيۡرِ سُلۡطَٰنٍ أَتَىٰهُمۡۖ كَبُرَ مَقۡتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ وَعِندَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يَطۡبَعُ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ قَلۡبِ مُتَكَبِّرٖ جَبَّارٖ ٣٥
Those who dispute concerning the signs of Allāh without an authority1 having come to them - great is hatred [of them] in the sight of Allāh and in the sight of those who have believed. Thus does Allāh seal over every heart [belonging to] an arrogant tyrant.

أَسۡبَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّهُۥ كَٰذِبٗاۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ وَصُدَّ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِۚ وَمَا كَيۡدُ فِرۡعَوۡنَ إِلَّا فِي تَبَابٖ ٣٧
The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.
40:38
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِيٓ ءَامَنَ يَٰقَوۡمِ ٱتَّبِعُونِ أَهۡدِكُمۡ سَبِيلَ ٱلرَّشَادِ ٣٨
And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me; I will guide you to the way of right conduct.
40:39
يَٰقَوۡمِ إِنَّمَا هَٰذِهِ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡيَا مَتَٰعٞ وَإِنَّ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةَ هِيَ دَارُ ٱلۡقَرَارِ ٣٩
O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement.
40:40
مَنۡ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةٗ فَلَا يُجۡزَىٰٓ إِلَّا مِثۡلَهَاۖ وَمَنۡ عَمِلَ صَٰلِحٗا مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوۡ أُنثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤۡمِنٞ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ يَدۡخُلُونَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ يُرۡزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيۡرِ حِسَابٖ ٤٠
Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.
