Commentary of Verse 42 (Surah Al-Qari'ah)

"Nor is it the word of a soothsayer. Little is it that you mind [48]."

[48] Refutation of the Claim of Soothsaying

This verse rejects the claim made by some disbelievers who compared the Qur'an to the words of a soothsayer. The soothsayers spoke based on uncertainty and deception, often offering false predictions without guidance. In contrast, the Qur'an is a source of divine truth and guidance. The verse criticizes those who, despite hearing the falsehood of soothsayers, still foolishly make such comparisons.
