Surah Ghafir Ayat 63 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

160. By signs of Allah is meant either the the Holy QURAN or the miracles of the Holy Prophet ? rejecting means not believing or accepting them. Or, by signs is meant proofs of the owers of Allah Almighty, which are spread in different parts of the world.

Rejecting them means not reflecting upon them, or regarding them as the creation of someone else. The purpose of the verse is that anyone who has been deprived of Islam, will always be doing evil actions. Only when the heart is sound, will the person be right. When one's beliefs are correct, the actions, too, would be correct.

(40:63) Thus it is only those who had denied Allah’s Signs that were led astray.[88]


88. That is, in every age the common people have been deluded by the misguides only because the people did not believe in the revelations that Allah sent down through His Messengers to make them understand the truth. Consequently; they were trapped by the selfish, dishonest people, who had set up shrines of false gods as a business.

(63) Thus were those [before you] deluded who were rejecting the signs of Allāh.
