Surah Al Imran Ayat 157 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

354. By "Dying in the path of Allah Almighty" means to die while being engaged in doing Allah Almighty's work. To die while making Zikr of Allah Almighty, being in the state of worship, and being engaged in educational work constitutes dying in the path of Allah Almighty. All this will result in receiving divine forgiveness.

355. The word "better" means dying in the path of Allah Almighty is far greater than the entire wealth accumulated by the infidels. It should be remembered that the earnings of the infidels are not better, but it is called this according to their king i.e. that wealth which they think to be good, this is better than that.
