Surah Al-Qiyamah Ayat 5 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

5. This means these questions of the infidels are baseless, evil, immoral, and wicked thoughts and not due to any doubts. There are numerous established proofs on the Holy Prophet's Prophethood and the Day of Judgement. Or, the word 'evil' could denote to reject, while the word 'front' denotes the Day of Judgement. It means these people are deliberately rejecting the resurrection (Qiyamah).

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Qiyamah verse 5 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Qiyamah ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 15.

(75:5) But man desires to persist in his evil ways.[5]

Ala-Maududi

(75:5) But man desires to persist in his evil ways.[5]


5. In this brief sentence the real disease of the deniers of the Hereafter has been clearly diagnosed. What makes them deny the Hereafter is not, in fact, their regarding the Resurrection and Hereafter as impossible but they deny it because acceptance of the Hereafter inevitably imposes certain moral restrictions on them, which they detest. They desire that they should continue roaming in the world at will as they have been roaming before. They should have full freedom to go on committing whatever injustice, dishonesty, sin and wickedness that they have been committing before, and there should be no deterrent to obstruct their freedom and to warn them that one day they will have to appear and render an account of their deeds before their God. Therefore, it is not their intellect which is hindering them from believing in the Hereafter but their desires of the self.

(5) But man desires to continue in sin.[1801]

[1801]- Literally, "to sin ahead of him." This refers to the disbeliever, who denies the Day of Account.
