﴾ {And how could you disbelieve}: Disbelief has multiple meanings, and these meanings are not the meanings that the takfiris, terrorists, murderers and those who exploit the expressions of the holy Qur’an wanted to devote. The interpretation of the holy Qur’an can only be taken from the Qur’an itself, or from the Prophet (saws), as well as according to Arabic language, Allah (swt) said:

وَأَنزَلْنَا إِلَيْكَ الذِّكْرَ لِتُبَيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نُزِّلَ إِلَيْهِمْ

{And We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people } (An-Nahl: 44)

Hence, if you are not familiar with the rules of the Arabic language, you cannot explain the Holy Qur’an.

As pre-mentioned, the word (kufr) (Disbelief) means covering in the Arabic language, and the (kafer) is the one who covers, so the farmer is called (kafer) because he hides the seeds in the dirt.

وَأَنتُمْ تُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتُ اللّهِ وَفِيكُمْ رَسُولُهُ {while to you are being recited the verses of Allah and among you is His Messenger?}: That is, the recitation of the verses of Allah (swt) and the presence of the Messenger (saws) with them deters them from unbelief, and motivates them to cling to the faith.

Qatada said: As for the Messenger (saws), he has gone to Allah (swt)’s mercy, and as for the Book, it remains for eternity, the Messenger of Allah (saws), said:

{“I have left two matters with you. As long as you hold to them, you will not go the wrong way. They are the Book of Allah and the Sunna of His Prophet.”}[1]

وَمَن يَعْتَصِم بِاللّهِ فَقَدْ هُدِيَ {And whoever holds firmly to Allah has [indeed] been guided.}: Whoever clings to the commands of Allah, he is guided, otherwise, he is lost.

إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ {to a straight path.}: The straight path: It is the path that leads to the end in the shortest way, and it is the path that the Holy Qur’an brought, which leads to the gardens of bliss.
