Surah Ghafir Ayat 59 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

149.The Hour is name given for the Day of hadgement.The Hour because for the believer this long day will seem like a moment. Or because the Day of Judgement will occur all of a sudden in a matter of moments.

150. There are thousands of proofs that have become etablished about the Day of Judgement. Our getting up in the morning everyday and the night's sleep, too, is a proof of Qiyama.

The resurgence in nature after the devastatio of winter is also a proof of Qiyamah. Here many people denote the infidels who reject the Occurrence of the Day of Judgement. The word most is used to denote majority, because the infidels are more than the believers in number.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Muminun verse 59 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 57 which provides the complete commentary from verse 57 through 59.

(40:59) The Hour will indeed come; there is no doubt about that. Yet most people do not believe.[81]

Ala-Maududi

(40:59) The Hour will indeed come; there is no doubt about that. Yet most people do not believe.[81]


81. This is the absolute assertion about the occurrence of the Hereafter, which can be made only on the basis of knowledge and not on the basis of reasoning, and in no other discourse than of revelation this assertion can be made with such absoluteness. That which can be said without revelation only on the basis of intellectual reasoning is that Resurrection can take place and it should take place. Beyond this, to assert that Resurrection will certainly take place, can be said only by that Being Who knows that Resurrection will occur, and that Being is none but Allah. It is here that it becomes explicit and evident that if religion can be based on pure knowledge, instead of speculation and reasoning, it can only be on the knowledge obtained through divine revelation.

(59) Indeed, the Hour is coming - no doubt about it - but most of the people do not believe.
