    Surah Al-Araf Ayat 97 Tafsir (Commentry)



    • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
    • Ibn Kathir
    • Ala-Madudi
    • Shaheen International

    231. Here "people of the towns" refers to the people of Makkah and its surroundings, while 'not fear' means to become fearless due to a lack of fear of Allah Almighty which is an act of infidelity. Thus, this verse is not in opposition to "And Allah Almighty is not one to chastise them while you are in their midst". (S8:V33) Oh My Beloved Nabi .. while you are in their midst no punishment will come to them. The awe and fear of Allah Almighty are proofs of Faith. The Holy Prophet would show fear  ?when seeing the clouds. To fear a breach of promise by Allah Almighty is an act of infidelity. Also, to remove the fear of Allah Almighty from one's heart is proof of infidelity. The same is meant here.
