Surah Ghafir Ayat 33 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)

  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

85. From the graves to the Field of Reckoning. Or, after the reckoning, towards Hell. It tells us that this believer is fully acquainted with all the beliefs.

86. From this we learn that having no saviours on the Day of Judgement would be for the infidels. Allah Almighty will appoint many saviours for the believers as this has been mentioned concerning the punishment of the infidels.

87. In that He will create misguidance among them due to their evil doings like death due to slaughtering. Thus, you cannot call Allah Almighty One who misleads.

The devil is the one who misleads by inclining the hearts of the people towards misguidance. Allah Almighty is the creator of death, but no one can call Him a murderer. A murderer is that person who kills another person by premeditation, thus becoming the direct cause of his death.
