    📖 Commentary of Verse 28 (Surah Al-Mulk)

    "Say, 'Have you considered: if Allah destroys [55] me and those with me, or if He has mercy [56] on us, who will protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?'"

    ✅ [55] The Disbelievers’ Hope for the Prophet’s Demise

    This verse addresses the disbelievers who eagerly awaited the demise of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions, hoping that their removal would somehow save them from the consequences of their actions. Allah reminds them that even if the Prophet and his followers were to perish, it would not absolve the disbelievers from the Divine punishment. This serves as a warning to those who put their hopes in the death of believers, believing it would ease their situation, as this mindset is rooted in ignorance and misguidance.

    ✅ [56] Mercy in Life and the Importance of Good Deeds

    In contrast, the verse also highlights the mercy of Allah in granting life, which provides the opportunity for believers to accumulate good deeds. Life itself is a form of Allah’s mercy, allowing the faithful to continue worshipping and doing righteous deeds, which will benefit them in the Hereafter. This teaches that every moment of life, no matter how challenging, is an opportunity to earn rewards and seek Allah’s mercy.

    Ibn-Kathir

    28. Say: “Tell me! If Allah destroys me, and those with me, or He bestows His mercy on us – who can save the disbelievers from a painful torment” 29. Say: “He is the Most Gracious, in Him we believe, and upon Him we rely. So, you will come to know who it is that is in manifest error.” 30. Say: “Tell me! If (all) your water were to sink away, who then can supply you with flowing water”

    The Death of the Believer will not save the Disbeliever, so let Him reflect upon His Deliverance

    Allah says,

    ﴿قُلْ﴾

    (say) `O Muhammad to these idolators who are associating partners with Allah and denying His favors,’

    ﴿أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَهْلَكَنِىَ اللَّهُ وَمَن مَّعِىَ أَوْ رَحِمَنَا فَمَن يُجِيرُ الْكَـفِرِينَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ﴾

    (Tell me! If Allah destroys me, and those with me, or He bestows His mercy on us – who can save the disbelievers from a painful torment) meaning, `save yourselves, for verily, there is nothing that can rescue you from Allah except repentance, turning to Him for forgiveness and returning to His religion. Your hopes that torment and exemplary punishment will strike us, will not benefit you. Whether Allah punishes us or has mercy on us, there is no escaping from Allah’s punishment and painful torment that you will suffer.’ Then Allah says,

    ﴿قُلْ هُوَ الرَّحْمَـنُ ءَامَنَّا بِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا﴾

    (Say: “He is the Most Gracious, in Him we believe, and upon Him we rely.) meaning, `we believe in the Lord of all that exists, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, and upon Him we rely in all of our affairs.’ This is as Allah says,

    ﴿فَاعْبُدْهُ وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَيْهِ﴾

    (So worship Him and rely upon Him.) (11:123) Thus, Allah continues saying,

    ﴿فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ هُوَ فِى ضَلَـلٍ مُّبِينٍ﴾

    (So, you will come to know who it is that is in manifest error.) meaning, `between Us and you, and to whom the final end (ultimate victory) will be for in this life and in the Hereafter.’

    Reminding of Allah’s Blessing by the springing of Water and the Threat of It being taken away Demonstrating how merciful He is to His creatures,

    Allah says;

    ﴿قُلْ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِنْ أَصْبَحَ مَآؤُكُمْ غَوْراً﴾

    (Say: “Tell me! If your water were to sink away…”) meaning, if it were to go away, disappearing into the lowest depths of the earth, then it would not be reachable with iron axes nor strong arms. `Gha’ir’ (sinking) as used here in the Ayah, is the opposite of springing forth. This is why Allah says,

    ﴿فَمَن يَأْتِيكُمْ بِمَآءٍ مَّعِينٍ﴾

    (who then can supply you with flowing water) meaning, springing forth, flowing, running upon the face of the earth. This means that no one is able to do this except Allah. So, it is merely out of His favor and His grace that He causes water to spring forth for you, and He makes it run to the various regions of the earth in an amount that is suitable for the needs of servants, be it little or abundant. So Allah’s is all the praise and thanks. This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Al-Mulk and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.

    (67:28) Say to them: “Did you ever consider: whether Allah destroys me and those that are with me, or shows mercy to us, who can protect the unbelievers from a grievous chastisement?”[38]

    Ala-Maududi

    (67:28) Say to them: “Did you ever consider: whether Allah destroys me and those that are with me, or shows mercy to us, who can protect the unbelievers from a grievous chastisement?”[38]

    38. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) started his mission in Makkah and the members of the different clans of Quraish began to embrace Islam, the people of every house started cursing him and his companions. They started practicing magic and charms on him to cause his death, even devising plots to kill him. At this, it was said: Say to them: what will it profit you whether we perish or we live by the grace of God? You should worry for yourselves as to how you will save yourselves from the punishment of Allah?

    (28) Say, [O Muḥammad], "Have you considered:[1722] whether Allāh should cause my death and those with me or have mercy upon us, who can protect the disbelievers from a painful punishment?"

    [1722]- i.e., inform me.
