لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

English Translation

There is, at its occurrence, no denial.

English Transliteration

Laysa liwaqAAatiha kathibatun

Tafsir of Verse 2

(and none denies its descending)

Then will no (soul) entertain falsehood concerning its coming.

لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ (...there will be no one to deny its occurrence...56:2). The word kadhibah in this context is the verbal noun, like ` afiyah and ` aqibah. The sense of the verse is that 'the news of the occurrence of this event cannot be a false news'. Some authorities have taken the word kadhibah in the sense of takdhib [ to deny ] and the meaning, in that case, is clear that 'no one can deny the fact that it will come to pass'.
