Tafsir jalalayn

wisdom (hikmatun is the predicate of an omitted subject, or a substitution for m, `such as', or for muzdajar, `deterrent') [that is] far-reaching, complete; but warnings (nudhur is the plural of nadhr, functioning in the [agent] sense of mundhir, `a warner', that is to say, `those matters which warn them'; m is either for negation, or it is an interrogative of denial, in which case it stands as a preceding direct object) are of no avail, [warnings] are of no use with them.

Tafseer Ibn Kathir

حِكْمَةٌ بَالِغَةٌ

Perfect wisdom,

in that Allah guides whomever He wills and misguides whomever He wills,

فَمَا تُغْنِ النُّذُرُ



but warners benefit them not.

but the preaching of warnings does not benefit those upon whom Allah has written misery and sealed their hearts. Who can guide such people after Allah?

This Ayah is similar to Allah's statements,

قُلْ فَلِلَّهِ الْحُجَّةُ الْبَـلِغَةُ فَلَوْ شَأءَ لَهَدَاكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

Say;"With Allah is the perfect proof and argument; had He so willed, He would indeed have guided you all." (6;149)

and,

وَمَا تُغْنِى الايَـتُ وَالنُّذُرُ عَن قَوْمٍ لاَّ يُوْمِنُونَ

But neither Ayat nor warners benefit those who believe not. (10;101
