Abdur-Rahman ibn Nasir al-Sa'diArabic

وأما من ليس من أهل الإيمان، فلا تنفعهم المواعظ، وأنواع التذكير، ولهذا قال: { وَقُلْ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ ْ} بعد ما قامت عليهم الآيات، { اعْمَلُوا عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمْ ْ} أي: حالتكم التي أنتم عليها { إِنَّا عَامِلُونَ ْ} على ما كنا عليه.

Tafsir al-Muyassar

Committee of Saudi ScholarsArabic

وقل -أيها الرسول- للكافرين الذين لا يقرُّون بوحدانية الله: اعملوا ما أنتم عاملون على حالتكم وطريقتكم في مقاومة الدعوة وإيذاء الرسول والمستجيبين له، فإنَّا عاملون على مكانتنا وطريقتنا من الثبات على ديننا وتنفيذ أمر الله. وانتظروا عاقبة أمرنا، فإنَّا منتظرون عاقبة أمركم. وفي هذا تهديد ووعيد لهم.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Salafi Approved
Hafiz Ibn KathirArabic

يقول تعالى آمرا رسوله أن يقول للذين لا يؤمنون بما جاء به من ربه على وجه التهديد "اعملوا على مكانتكم" أي على طريقتكم ومنهجكم "إنا عاملون" أي على طريقتنا ومنهجنا.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Ismail ibn KathirEnglish

Allah, the Exalted, commands His Messenger to say to those who disbelieve in what he has come ... اعْمَلُواْ عَلَى مَكَانَتِكُمْ (Act according to your ability) This means upon your path and your way. إِنَّا عَامِلُونَ (We are acting (in our way). This means that we are upon our path and our way (Islam). وَانْتَظِرُواْ إِنَّا مُنتَظِرُونَ (And you wait ! We (too) are waiting.) This means, فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَن تَكُونُ لَهُ عَـقِبَةُ الدَّارِ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُفْلِحُ الظَّـلِمُونَ (And you will come to know for which of us will be the (happy) end in the Hereafter. Certainly the wrongdoers will not be successful.)6:135 Verily, Allah fulfilled His promise to His Messenger , helped him and aided him. He made His Word uppermost (victorious), and the word of those who disbelieved lowly and disgraced. Allah is truly the Most Mighty, Most Wise.

Hafiz Ibn KathirUrdu

بطور دھمکانے ڈرانے اور ہوشیار کرنے کے ان کافروں سے کہہ دو کہ اچھا تم اپنے طریقے سے نہیں ہٹتے تو نہ ہٹو ہم بھی اپنے طریقے پر کار بند ہیں۔ تم منظر رہو کہ آخر انجام کیا ہوتا ہے ہم بھی اسی انجام کی راہ دیکھتے ہیں فالحمد للہ دنیا نے ان کافروں کا انجام دیکھ لیا ان مسلمانوں کا بھی جو اللہ کے فضل و کرم سے دنیا پر چھا گئے۔ مخالفین پر کامیابی کے ساتھ غلبہ حاصل کرلیا دنیا کو مٹھی میں لے لیا فللہ الحمد۔
