Surah Yusuf Ayat 106 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

221. Reason for its revelations: 

This verse was revealed regarding the infidels of Makkah who were worshipping the idols after accepting Allah Almighty as their Creator and Sustainer. In their call to Allah Almighty (Talbiyyah) they would declare you have no partner, besides one. 

Thus while they were saying there is no God, they were guilty of idolatory as well. They would accept in the Oneness of Allah Almighty yet at the same time believed in Him having sons and daughters.

Please refer to Surah Yusuf ayat 105 which provides the complete commentary from verse 105 through 107.

(12:106) And most of them believe in Allah only when they associate others with Him in His Divinity.[76]

Ala-Maududi

(12:106) And most of them believe in Allah only when they associate others with Him in His Divinity.[76]


76. They associate other deities with Allah because they do not pay heed to His signs, which serve as pointers to the right way. So they go astray from it and get lost in thorny bushes. Nevertheless, many of them do not lose sight of the reality entirely, and do not disbelieve in Allah as their Creator and Sustainer, but they get involved in shirk. That is, they do not deny the existence of God, but they believe that there are other deities who are also partners in His being, His attributes, His powers, and His rights. They should never have been involved in shirk, had they considered these signs in the heavens and the earth from this point of view, for in that case they would have discovered everywhere, in each and every one of them, the proofs of the Oneness of Allah.

(106) And most of them believe not in Allāh except while they associate others with Him.
