Surah Al Imran Ayat 66 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

143. By 'dispute' is meant that although you knew about the Holy Prophet | and his beautiful attributes, yet you are rejecting them intentionally. From this it should be remembered that to dispute with the Prophet on grounds of obstinacy is an act of obstinacy. However, when the Prophet gives advice, it is not apostasy nor any sin to disagree with his opinion. Allah Almighty says. "And undoubtedly a group of Muslims were unhappy. They were disputing..." (S8:V5). In this verse the disputers are called believers because it was difference of opinion. (S22:V78).
