Surah Az-Zukhruf Ayat 67 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Shaheen International

118. This means the friendship and relationship of the world would change into enmity on the Day of Judgement. The believing father will become enemy of the infidel son. In fact even the limbs of the infidels would become their enemies. Just as the world is transitory, its friendship too is transitory.
119. From this we learn the friendships and relationships of the believers will be beneficial on the Day of Judgement but only for the believers: Thus the attachment to the Prophet or Saint will definitely be beneficial.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Zukhruf verse 67 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Zukhruf ayat 66 which provides the complete commentary from verse 66 through 73.

(43:67) On that Day even bosom friends shall become enemies to one another, all except the God-fearing.[59]

Ala-Maududi

(43:67) On that Day even bosom friends shall become enemies to one another, all except the God-fearing.[59]


59. In other words, only those friendships will remain unaffected which are based on righteousness and piety in the world. All other friendships will turn into enmities, and those who are cooperating with one another in deviation, tyranny and wickedness today, will on the Day of Resurrection, put the blame on others and try to escape. This subject has been treated repeatedly at many places in the Quran so that every person in this very world may fully realize with whom it would be beneficial for him to cooperate and with whom it is harmful.

(67) Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous
