Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 6 Al-An'am, Ayat 37-37
وَ قَالُوۡا لَوۡلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيۡهِ اٰيَةٌ مِّنۡ رَّبِّهٖؕ قُلۡ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ قَادِرٌ عَلٰٓى اَنۡ يُّنَزِّلَ اٰيَةً وَّلٰـكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ
﴿6:37﴾
(6:37) And they say: 'Why has no miraculous sign been sent down to him from
his Lord?' Say: 'Surely Allah has the power to send down a sign, but most of
them do not know.26
Notes
26. The word ayah here signifies a tangible miracle. The purpose of the verse
is to point out that the reason for not showing a miraculous sign is not God's
powerlessness. The true reason is something else which those people in their
immaturity, have failed to comprehend.
