Surah Al-Maidah Ayat 120 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

329. "Kingdom" is meant to obtain outward ownership while to gain power over the concealed and inner things is referred to as dominion. Kingdom can be gained by man through the blessings of Allah, but sovereignty belongs to Allah alone. A king can sentence a person to death, send him to prison, but he cannot give life to the dead or make the beautiful into ugly. The king has power and control over the physical, not the spiritual. The saints of Allah are the deputies of the Prophets and the Hand of Providence. From their hands Divine happenings become evident.

 330. Remember that in this context impossibility and expediency are not part of "everything", hence they are irrelevant or extraneous to the power of Allah. To believe from this verse that Allah Almighty can talk a lie is the height of stupidity because this is an impossibility with a Divine Personality.
