AYAH OF THE DAY WITH TAFSIR
Jumada Al-Awwal 9, 1434
أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزَهِ وَنَفْخِهِ وَنَفْثِهِ
سُوۡرَةُ النّحل
I seek refuge with Allah, the Hearing, the Knowing, from the cursed Satan, from his coercion, lures toarrogance and poems
Surah An-Nahl
And Allah coineth a similitude: Two men, one of them dumb, having control of nothing, and he is a burden on his owner; whithersoever he directeth him to go, he bringeth no good. Is he equal with one who enjoineth justice and followeth a straight path (of conduct)? (76)
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ مِنْ هَمْزَهِ
Another Example
Allah tells:
Mujahid said,
"This also refers to idols and the True God, may He be exalted.''
Meaning that the idol is dumb and cannot speak or say anything, good or otherwise. It cannot do anything at all, no words, no action, it is dependent and is a burden on its master.
meaning, wherever he sends him.
meaning, he does not succeed in what he wants.
meaning, a man who has these attributes,
meaning fairness, one whose words are true and whose deeds are righteous.
Al-Awfi reported that Ibn Abbas said:
"This is also an example of the disbeliever and the believer,'' as in the previous Ayah.

سُوۡرَةُ النّحل
وَضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلاً۬ رَّجُلَيۡنِ أَحَدُهُمَآ أَبۡڪَمُ لَا يَقۡدِرُ عَلَىٰ شَىۡءٍ۬ وَهُوَ ڪَلٌّ عَلَىٰ مَوۡلَٮٰهُ أَيۡنَمَا يُوَجِّههُّ لَا يَأۡتِ بِخَيۡرٍۖ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِى هُوَ وَمَن يَأۡمُرُ بِٱلۡعَدۡلِۙ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٲطٍ۬ مُّسۡتَقِيمٍ۬ (٧٦)

Another Example
Allah tells:
وَضَرَبَ اللّهُ مَثَلاً رَّجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَبْكَمُ لاَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَىَ شَيْءٍ وَهُوَ كَلٌّ عَلَى مَوْلاهُ ...

... وَهُوَ عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ ﴿٧٦﴾
and is himself on the straight path.Al-Awfi reported that Ibn Abbas said:
"This is also an example of the disbeliever and the believer,'' as in the previous Ayah.
