📖 Commentary of Surah Saba – Verse 44

"And We neither gave them books, which they studied [131], nor did any warner [132] come to them before you (O Muhammad)."


✅ [131] No Previous Scriptures for the Arabs

Before the advent of the Holy Prophet ﷺ, the people of Arabia had neither received any heavenly scriptures nor studied such divine books. Initially, they followed the pure religion of Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him), but over time, most turned to idolatry. This highlights the unique position of the Prophet ﷺ as the first to bring divine revelation explicitly to them.


✅ [132] No Previous Warners Before Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

After the time of Prophet Ismael (peace be upon him), the doctrine of Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) was sufficient for the followers of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Therefore, Allah did not send any other prophets or warners to the Arabian Peninsula until Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, whose mission was to restore pure monotheism and guidance.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Saba verse 44 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Saba ayat 43 which provides the complete commentary from verse 43 through 45.

(34:44) whereas We gave them no Books that they could study nor sent to them any warner before you.[64]

Ala-Maududi

(34:44) whereas We gave them no Books that they could study nor sent to them any warner before you.[64]


64. That is, neither a book from God has come to them before this nor a messenger, who might have taught them to worship and serve others than God. Therefore, they are denying the invitation to Tauhid given by the Quran and Muhammad (peace be upon him) due to sheer ignorance, and not on the basis of any knowledge. They have in fact no authority for this.

(44) And We had not given them any scriptures which they could study, and We had not sent to them before you, [O Muḥammad], any warner.
