    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Ankabut – Verse 37

    "Then they belied him [89], and the earthquake overtook them; they remained in their homes prostrate [90]."

    ✅ [89] Belied the Messenger, Invited Punishment

    This verse shows that divine punishment never descends merely due to sins alone, but rather, it comes after the clear denial of a Prophet. Allah Almighty has declared elsewhere: “We do not punish until We have sent a Messenger.” Hence, the people of Hazrat Shuʿayb (عليه السلام) were not destroyed because of their disobedience to Allah in general, but because they denied the message brought by their Prophet after receiving ample warning and opportunity for repentance.

    ✅ [90] Earthquake as a Form of Divine Punishment

    The punishment they received is described here as a devastating earthquake, which left them lifeless and flattened in their homes, lying prostrate in death. In another verse, their punishment is referred to as a roaring cry, which some may think is different, but the scholars have explained that first Hazrat Jibraeel (عليه السلام) let out the scream, which caused a sudden tremor like an earthquake, shaking their hearts with fear and collapsing their homes. Thus, the two descriptions—roaring cry and earthquake—refer to one and the same punishment and are perfectly consistent.

    This verse reinforces the principle that rejection of Prophets leads to divine wrath, and that their miracles and warnings are not to be taken lightly.

    The tafsir of Surah Ankabut verse 37 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Ankabut ayat 36 which provides the complete commentary from verse 36 through 37.

    (29:37) But they denounced him as a liar.[63] So a mighty earthquake overtook them, and by the morning they lay overturned in their houses.[64]

    Ala-Maududi

    (29:37) But they denounced him as a liar.[63] So a mighty earthquake overtook them, and by the morning they lay overturned in their houses.[64]

    63. That is, “They did not believe that the Prophet Shuaib (peace be upon him) was a Messenger of Allah and the teachings he gave were from Allah and that if they rejected him they would be punished by a torment from Allah.”

    64. “Dwelling places”: the whole area and country inhabited by them.

    (37) But they denied him, so the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.
