28. From this we understand that the heavens and the earth weep at the death of the believer. It is stated a Hadith Shareef that these weep for forty days (Tafseer Khuzumul Intaan). The place of worship of the believer, the place where he engages in Zikrullah, those doors of heaven through which prayers were entering the court of Allah Almighty all weep for him (Tafseer Roohul Mu ani). At the dead of the believer, the creation on the earth and the angels of the heaven cry for him, that he worship has now ceased. On the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Husain the heavens had shed tear of blood.

29. So that they become believers be repenting from their infidelity.

Please refer to Surah Dukhan ayat 17 which provides the complete commentary from verse 17 through 33.

(44:29) Then neither the sky shed tears over them nor the earth.[25] They were granted no respite.

Ala-Maududi

(44:29) Then neither the sky shed tears over them nor the earth.[25] They were granted no respite.


25. That is, when they were the rulers, they were known for their glory and grandeur, hymns were sung of their praise, flatterers flattered them to such an extent as if the whole world was devoted to them for their excellences and indebted to them for their favors and there was none more popular in the world than they. But when they fell, there was none to shed a tear on their fall, rather the world felt relieved that a cause of distress had been removed. Obviously, they had neither done any good to the people that the dwellers of the earth might weep on them, nor anything for the sake of Allah’s pleasure that the dwellers of the heavens might grieve over their ruin. As long as Allah continued to give them respite by His will, they enjoyed life as they pleased; but when they transgressed all limits in their crimes, they were cast aside like rubbish.

(29) And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
