140. And indeed, He has revealed to you in the Book that when you hear the verses of Allah being denied and mocked [413], then do not sit with them until they engage in a different conversation [414]. Otherwise, you would be like them. Indeed, Allah will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers all together in Hell [415]. (Kanzul Imaan Translation)

(140) And it has already come down to you in the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] that when you hear the verses of Allāh [recited], they are denied [by them] and ridiculed; so do not sit with them until they enter into another conversation. Indeed, you would then be like them.[226] Indeed, Allāh will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers in Hell all together - (Saheen International Translation)

Surah An-Nisa Ayat 140 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

413. By this is meant in which every environment mockery is made of religion, do not go there under any circumstances. If you were there beforehand where irreligiousness began to spread, move away from there at once. And if you have the power to put an end to this forcefully do so, if not speak out against it.
414. From this we learn that to indulge in infidelity to encourage anybody towards infidelity or to make anyone an infidel are all part of infidelity and of equal degree. In fact it is totally forbidden to attend gatherings of infidelity with the intention of participating in its proceedings. 

Thus, it is forbidden to attend gatherings of mourners and where dirges of lamentation are recited, or curses are hurled or expressed, even if one does not participate in these activities personally. However, if one attends these gatherings with the intention of eradicating these evils, there is no harm in it.
415. That both the hypocrites and the infidels will be in the fire of Hell, though their places may be different. Says Allah Almighty: "Undoubtedly, the hypocrites are in the lowest section of Hell." It could also mean that the two groups could be brought together. Thus, there is no inconsistency in the verse.

170. A person who professes Islam and yet enjoys the company of those who indulge in blasphemy against God, and who bears with equanimity their scoffing at God and His Messenger, is no different’ from the unbelievers mentioned here. For the injunction in this verse, see also (Surah Al-Anam, ayat 68) below.

(140) And it has already come down to you in the Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] that when you hear the verses of Allāh [recited], they are denied [by them] and ridiculed; so do not sit with them until they enter into another conversation. Indeed, you would then be like them.[226] Indeed, Allāh will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers in Hell all together -

[226]- In this world, by participation in their blasphemy, and in the next, where you will share their punishment.
