Surah Al-Balad Ayat 19 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

21. The number of explanations which have been provided for MAIMANAH, in contrast to the explanations here would be provided for MASHAMAH i.e. receivers of books of deeds in the left hand, those who would be standing on the left hand side of the Divine Throne, etc. Or, these are those inauspicious people, who did not value their worldly lives, or who had not taken full benefit from their good deeds etc

This tells us that infidelity is inauspiciousness while faith is a blessing. It should be remembered that some deeds, too, are inauspicious, like going to bed before performing Esha Salaah, to sleep at the time of Fajr Salaah, disobedience of parents, sweeping after eating, to burn the outer parts of the onions.
