Surah Al-Fath Ayat 21 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

62. Conquest of Makkah or the conquest of Roman and Persian empires which the Muslims gained Juring the Caliphate of Hazrat Umar (May Allah he pleased with him) Even the thought of those victories at that time considering the existing conditions of the believers would be beyond the imagination.

This verse in an indisputable proof of the truth of the Caliphate of Hazrat Umar (May Allah) pleased with him) .From this we learn that splendid victories gained by Muslims dura the Caliphate of Hazrat Umar are due to beautiful grace of Allah Almighty. On the own, these would not have been possible for the believers to gain on their own accord

Ala-Maududi

(48:21) He also promises you other spoils which you have not yet taken, but Allah has encompassed them.[40] Allah has power over everything.


40. Most probably this is a reference to the conquest of Makkah. The same is the opinion of Qatadah and Ibn Jarir. It seems to mean this: Though Makkah has not yet fallen to you, Allah has encircled it, and as a result of this victory at Hudaibiyah, it will also fall to you.

(21) And [He promises] other [victories] that you were [so far] unable to [realize] which Allāh has already encompassed.[1515] And ever is Allāh, over all things, competent.

[1515]- i.e., prepared for you or decreed.
