Surah Al-Waqiah Ayat 87 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

79. If you are true to your word that Allah Almighty will not resurrect i.e. bring you back to life again. Some infidels were of the belief, and they still have the belief that once the soul has left the body it will come in the world in the shape of other animals.

This is called reincarnation or the transmigration of the soul.This verse can repudiate those people i.e. if the soul can return to the world, and then these people should stop the sou! from leaving the body, but rather let it return to the body. If they are unable to return it, then acknowledge the fact that you are helpless, but Allah Almighty is all Powerful.
