أَمْ لَهُمْ نَصِيبٌ مِّنَ ٱلْمُلْكِ فَإِذاً لاَّ يُؤْتُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ نَقِيراً
٥٣
أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ عَلَىٰ مَآ آتَٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ مِن فَضْلِهِ فَقَدْ آتَيْنَآ آلَ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَٱلْحِكْمَةَ وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ مُّلْكاً عَظِيماً
٥٤
فَمِنْهُمْ مَّنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَّن صَدَّ عَنْهُ وَكَفَىٰ بِجَهَنَّمَ سَعِيراً
٥٥
-An-Nisâ’ ( النساء )

Al Qushairi Tafsir

[4:53-4:55] Or have they a share in the Kingdom?, then they would not give the people a single date-spot. * Or, are they jealous of people for the bounty that God has bestowed upon them. For We gave the House of Abraham the Book and wisdom, and We gave them a mighty kingdom. * And there are some of them who believe in him and some of them who bar from him. Hell suffices for a blaze.
Those who are naturally disposed to greed and niggardliness never receive more themselves without lamenting the hand men stretch out to them, which is like someone drinking water drop by drop yet he gulps down the water of his own life.
Or, are they jealous of people...: nay, they reject the Real's (s) choosing whom He wills for His friends out of their jealousy, and they do not approach them with reverence, but the way of God (s) with His friends has come to pass with honor and increase for [the friends]. The disbelievers have stuck to the course of doubting the divine ordinance, but there are some who believe in him and some who reject and deny that. The punishment of God is sufficient as an avenger of them.
And We gave them a mighty kingdom: The mighty kingdom is knowledge of the King. It is said it is the dominion over the lower self.
It is said it is the elevated viewpoint over the secrets of the kingdom so that nothing is hidden from him.
It is said it is the viewing of the secrets of creation.
