Commentary on 43:6–8
"Berapa banyaknya nabi-nabi yang telah Kami utus kepada umat-umat yang terdahulu. Dan tiada seorang nabi pun datang kepada mereka melainkan mereka selalu memperolok-olokkannya. Maka telah Kami binasakan orang-orang yang lebih besar ke-kuatannya dari mereka itu (musyrikin Makkah) dan telah terdahulu (tersebut dalam al-Qur`an) perumpamaan umat-umat masa dahulu." (Az-Zukhruf: 6-8).
(6-8) Allah سبحانه وتعالى berfirman, bahwa ini adalah ketetapan Kami pada makhluk, untuk tidak membiarkan mereka sia-sia,﴾ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن نَّبِيّٖ فِي ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ﴿ "Berapa banyaknya nabi-nabi yang telah Kami utus kepada umat-umat yang terdahulu," memerintahkan mereka untuk menyem-bah Allah سبحانه وتعالى semata, yang tidak ada sekutu bagiNya. Akan tetapi sikap mendustakan tetap saja ada di berbagai umat.﴾ وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ﴿ "Dan tiada seorang nabi pun datang kepada mereka melainkan mereka selalu memperolok-olokkannya," karena membantah ajaran yang dibawa serta merasa congkak pada kebenaran.﴾ فَأَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشَدَّ ﴿ "Maka telah Kami binasakan orang-orang yang lebih besar," dari mereka, ﴾ بَطۡشٗا ﴿ "kekuatannya," yaitu kekuatan, tindakan, dan bekas-bekasnya di bumi, ﴾ وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ﴿ "Dan telah terdahulu (tersebut dalam al-Qur`an) perumpamaan umat-umat masa dahulu," yaitu, orang-orang seperti mereka dan berita mereka telah berlalu, dan Kami juga telah menjelaskan pelajaran dan larangan untuk tidak mendus-takan dan mengingkari. 9

42:52
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ رُوحٗا مِّنۡ أَمۡرِنَاۚ مَا كُنتَ تَدۡرِي مَا ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ وَلَا ٱلۡإِيمَٰنُ وَلَٰكِن جَعَلۡنَٰهُ نُورٗا نَّهۡدِي بِهِۦ مَن نَّشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَاۚ وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهۡدِيٓ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطٖ مُّسۡتَقِيمٖ ٥٢
And thus We have revealed to you an inspiration of Our command [i.e., the Qur’ān]. You did not know what is the Book or [what is] faith, but We have made it a light by which We guide whom We will of Our servants. And indeed, [O Muḥammad], you guide to a straight path -
42:53
صِرَٰطِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَهُۥ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ أَلَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ تَصِيرُ ٱلۡأُمُورُ ٥٣
The path of Allāh, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Unquestionably, to Allāh do [all] matters evolve [i.e., return].

43:2
وَٱلۡكِتَٰبِ ٱلۡمُبِينِ ٢
By the clear Book,
43:3
إِنَّا جَعَلۡنَٰهُ قُرۡءَٰنًا عَرَبِيّٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ ٣
Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur’ān that you might understand.
43:4
وَإِنَّهُۥ فِيٓ أُمِّ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ لَدَيۡنَا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ ٤
And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book1 with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.2
43:5
أَفَنَضۡرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكۡرَ صَفۡحًا أَن كُنتُمۡ قَوۡمٗا مُّسۡرِفِينَ ٥
Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?
43:6
وَكَمۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن نَّبِيّٖ فِي ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٦
And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples,
43:7
وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ ٧
But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him.
43:8
فَأَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنۡهُم بَطۡشٗا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ ٨
And We destroyed greater than them1 in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.

43:9
وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٩
And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing,"
43:10
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَهۡدٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا سُبُلٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ ١٠
