Tafsir Ibn Kathir -> Surah An-Naml -> The Command to put One's Trust in Allah and to convey the Message

﴿ظپظژطھظژظˆظژظƒظ‘ظژظ„ظ’ ط¹ظژظ„ظژظ‰ ط§ظ„ظ„ظ‘ظژظ‡ظگ﴾

(So, put your trust in Allah;) in all your affairs, and convey the Message of your Lord.

﴿ط¥ظگظ†ظ‘ظژظƒظژ ط¹ظژظ„ظژظ‰ ط§ظ„ظ’ط­ظژظ‚ظ‘ظگ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظڈط¨ظگظٹظ†ظگ﴾

(surely, you are on manifest truth.) meaning, you are following manifest truth, even though you are opposed by those who oppose you because they are doomed. The Word of your Lord has been justified against them, so that they will not believe even if all the signs are brought to them. Allah says:

﴿ط¥ظگظ†ظ‘ظژظƒظژ ظ„ط§ظژ طھظڈط³ظ’ظ…ظگط¹ظڈ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ…ظژظˆظ’طھظژظ‰﴾

(Verily, you cannot make the dead to hear) meaning, you cannot cause them to hear anything that will benefit them. The same applies to those over whose hearts is a veil and in whose ears is deafness of disbelief. Allah says:

﴿ظˆظژظ„ط§ظژ طھظڈط³ظ’ظ…ظگط¹ظڈ ط§ظ„طµظ‘ظڈظ…ظ‘ظژ ط§ظ„ط¯ظ‘ظڈط¹ظژط¢ط،ظژ ط¥ظگط°ظژط§ ظˆظژظ„ظ‘ظژظˆظ’ط§ظ’ ظ…ظڈط¯ظ’ط¨ظگط±ظگظٹظ†ظژ﴾

ظˆظژظ…ظژط¢ ط£ظژظ†طھظژ ط¨ظگظ‡ظژط§ط¯ظگظ‰ ط§ظ„ظ’ط¹ظڈظ…ظ’ظ‰ظگ ط¹ظژظ† ط¶ظژظ„ظژظ€ظ„ظژطھظگظ‡ظگظ…ظ’ ط¥ظگظ† طھظڈط³ظ’ظ…ظگط¹ظڈ ط¥ظگظ„ط§ظ‘ظژ ظ…ظژظ† ظٹظڈط¤ظ’ظ…ظگظ†ظڈ ط¨ظگظ€ط¦ظژط§ظٹظژظ€طھظگظ†ظژط§ ظپظژظ‡ظڈظ… ظ…ظ‘ظڈط³ظ’ظ„ظگظ…ظڈظˆظ†ظژ-﴾

(nor can you make the deaf to hear the call, when they flee, turning their backs. Nor can you lead the blind out of their error. You can only make to hear those who believe in Our Ayat, so they submit (became Muslims).) meaning, those who have hearing and insight will respond to you, those whose hearing and sight are of benefit to their hearts and who are humble towards Allah and to the Message that comes to them through the mouths of the Messengers, may peace be upon them.

﴿ظˆظژط¥ظگط°ظژط§ ظˆظژظ‚ظژط¹ظژ ط§ظ„ظ’ظ‚ظژظˆظ’ظ„ظڈ ط¹ظژظ„ظژظٹظ’ظ‡ظگظ… ط£ظژط®ظ’ط±ظژط¬ظ’ظ†ظژط§ ظ„ظژظ‡ظڈظ…ظ’ ط¯ظژط¢ط¨ظ‘ظژط©ظ‹ ظ…ظ‘ظگظ†ظژ ط§ظ„ط§ظ‘ظŒط±ظ’ط¶ظگ طھظڈظƒظژظ„ظ‘ظگظ…ظڈظ‡ظڈظ…ظ’ ط£ظژظ†ظ‘ظژ ط§ظ„ظ†ظ‘ظژط§ط³ظژ ظƒظژط§ظ†ظڈظˆط§ ط¨ظگظ€ظژط§ظٹظژظ€طھظگظ†ظژط§ ظ„ط§ظژ ظٹظڈظˆظ‚ظگظ†ظڈظˆظ†ظژ ﴾

(82. And when the Word is fulfilled against them, We shall bring out from the earth a beast for them, to speak to them because mankind believed not with certainty in Our Ayat.)
