Surah An-Naml Ayat 81 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

147. Those whose hearts are blind, or those who are blind, of eyes, whose eyes can outwardly see, but they fail to see your miracles. Otherwise, the Holy Prophet  ? had blessed  many blind people with the light of faith. 

148. This means those who are believers due to Divine knowledge and those in whose destiny Faith is written. Thus, there is no objection to the verse. From this verse, we learn that there is a difference between Islam and faith, because there is a difference in the subject preceding and following the adverbial prefix Fa.

99. That is, “It is none of your job to pull them forcibly to the right way and drag them along with you. You can only tell them by the word of mouth and by your example that this is the right way and the way they are following is the wrong way. But how can you guide the one who has closed his eyes and is not at all inclined to see anything?”

(81) And you cannot guide the blind away from their error. You will only make hear those who believe in Our verses so they are Muslims [i.e., submitting to Allāh].
