    Surah An-Nahl Ayat 80 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

    173. Canvas tents, and tents made of animal skins which are generally useful during a Journey, and at times is used in one's own land as well. 

    174. Excellent things to wear and spread like sheets, rugs, carpets, etc. From this we learn that the hair and skins of these animals are pure and clean and their use is permissible (Khazainul Irfaan). It should be remembered that besides the hair of the swine and the human beings that of the other animals become clean upon slaughtering and boiling them (Books of Jurisprudence). 

    Further, remember that the hair of the goats and sheep are called wool and that of the camels are called fur. 

    175. Just as places during a journey are built simple and weak, and the houses for residing are built strong and firm, likewise our bodies are like the weak homes of travelling which cannot bear the pricking of a single thorn. But, in Paradise we will be provided with strong bodies because they would be permanent. Allah Almighty be praised! Thus, do not regard your present bodies as permanent.

     

    Ibn-Kathir

    80. And Allah had made your homes a place of rest for you, and made dwellings for you out of the hides of the cattle which you find so light when you travel and when you camp; and furnishings and articles of convenience out of their wool, fur, and hair – comfort for a while. 81. And Allah has made shade for you out of that which He has created, and He has made places of refuge in the mountains for you, and He has made garments for you to protect you from the heat, and coats of mail to protect you from your violence. Thus does He perfect His favor for you, that you may submit yourselves to His will. 82. Then, if they turn away, your duty (O Muhammad) is only to convey (the Message) in a clear way. 83. They recognize the grace of Allah, yet they deny it (by worshipping others besides Allah) and most of them are disbelievers.

    Homes, Furnishings and Clothing are also Blessings from Allah

    Allah mentions His great blessings for His servant in that He has given them homes to dwell in and protect themselves with, in which they find all kinds of benefits. He has also given them homes from the hides of cattle, i.e., leather, which are light and easy to carry on journeys and can be erected wherever they stop, whether they are traveling or are settled. Thus Allah says:

    ﴿تَسْتَخِفُّونَهَا يَوْمَ ظَعْنِكُمْ وَيَوْمَ إِقَـمَتِكُمْ﴾

    (which you find so light when you travel and when you camp;)

    ﴿وَمِنْ أَصْوَافِهَا وَأَوْبَارِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَآ﴾

    (out of their wool, fur and hair) refers to sheep, camels and goats respectively.

    ﴿أَثَـثاً﴾

    (furnishings) meaning what you take from them, i.e., wealth. It was also said that it means articles of convenience, or clothing. The correct view is more general in meaning than this; it means that you make carpets, clothing and other things from their wool, hair etc., which you use as wealth and for trade. Ibn `Abbas said: `Al-Athath means articles of convenience and comfort.” This was also the view of Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Al-Hasan, `Atiyah Al-`Awfi, `Ata’ Al-Khurasani, Ad-Dahhak and Qatadah. The phrase,

    ﴿إِلَى حِينٍ﴾

    (for a while) means, until the appointed time.

    Shade, Places of Refuge in the Mountains, Garments and Coats of Mail are also Blessings from Allah

    ﴿وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّمَّا خَلَقَ ظِلَـلاً﴾

    (And Allah has made shade for you out of that which He has created,) Qatadah said: “This means trees.”

    ﴿وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْجِبَالِ أَكْنَـناً﴾

    (and He has made places of refuge in the mountains for you,) meaning fortresses and strongholds.

    ﴿جَعَلَ لَكُمُسَرَابِيلَ تَقِيكُمُ الْحَرَّ﴾

    (and He has made garments for you to protect you from the heat,) meaning clothing of cotton, linen and wool.

    ﴿وَسَرَبِيلَ تَقِيكُم بَأْسَكُمْ﴾

    (and coats of mail to protect you from your violence.) such as shields made of layers of sheet iron, coats of mail and so on.

    ﴿كَذَلِكَ يُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ﴾

    (Thus does He perfect His favor for you,) meaning, thus He gives you what you need to go about your business, so that this will help you to worship and obey Him.

    ﴿لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْلِمُونَ﴾

    (that you may submit yourselves to His will). This is interpreted by the majority to mean submitting to Allah or becoming Muslim.

    All the Messenger has to do is convey the Message

    ﴿فَإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ﴾

    (Then, if they turn away,) meaning, after this declaration and reminder, do not worry about them.

    ﴿فَإِنَّمَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَلَـغُ الْمُبِينُ﴾

    (your duty (O Muhammad) is only to convey (the Message) in a clear way), and you have delivered the Message to them.

    ﴿يَعْرِفُونَ نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُنكِرُونَهَا﴾

    (They recognize the grace of Allah, yet they deny it) meaning they know that Allah is the One Who grants these blessings to them, and that He is Bountiful towards them, but they still deny this by worshipping others besides Him and thinking that their help and provisions come from others besides Him.

    ﴿وَأَكْثَرُهُمُ الْكَـفِرُونَ﴾

    (and most of them are disbelievers.)

    ﴿وَيَوْمَ نَبْعَثُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ شَهِيدًا ثُمَّ لاَ يُؤْذَنُ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَلاَ هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ ﴾

    وَإِذَا رَأى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ الْعَذَابَ فَلاَ يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يُنظَرُونَ- وَإِذَا رَءا الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُواْ شُرَكَآءهُمْ قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا هَـؤُلآء شُرَكَآؤُنَا الَّذِينَ كُنَّا نَدْعُوْا مِن دُونِكَ فَألْقَوْا إِلَيْهِمُ الْقَوْلَ إِنَّكُمْ لَكَـذِبُونَ- وَأَلْقَوْاْ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ السَّلَمَ وَضَلَّ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يَفْتَرُونَ-﴾

    (16:80) Allah has made your houses a repose, and has provided you with the skins of the cattle for your habitation[74] which are light to handle both when you travel and when you camp;[75] and out of their wool and their fur and their hair He has given you furnishings and goods for use over a period of time.

    (16:80) Allah has made your houses a repose, and has provided you with the skins of the cattle for your habitation[74] which are light to handle both when you travel and when you camp;[75] and out of their wool and their fur and their hair He has given you furnishings and goods for use over a period of time.

    74. Tents of skin which are in common use in Arabia.

    75. That is, when you want to start on a journey, you can easily fold your tents and carry them, and when you want to make a short halt, you can easily unfold them and pitch them for shelter and rest.

    (80) And Allāh has made for you from your homes a place of rest and made for you from the hides of the animals tents which you find light on your day of travel and your day of encampment; and from their wool, fur and hair is furnishing and enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time.
