    Tafseer (Commentary) of the Verse

    "And the Hereafter is better [4] for you than the preceding one."

    Explanation of "The Hereafter is better for you than the preceding one"

    The life in the BARZAKH (the life after the world and before resurrection) is better for the Holy Prophet ﷺ than the worldly life. In Barzakh, the Holy Prophet ﷺ is constantly united with Allah Almighty, engaging in communication (Me'raaj) with His Creator. This affirms the concept of HAYATUN NABI (the eternal life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ).

    The Nature of the Holy Prophet’s ﷺ Eternal Life

    • The soul of the Holy Prophet ﷺ resides in Barzakh, where he enjoys the most sacred connection with Allah Almighty.
    • His pure body and blessed tomb are more sacred than the Great Throne and even Paradise itself.

    The Superiority of the Hereafter

    • The life in the Hereafter, which will commence after the Day of Judgement, is superior to his worldly life.
    • In the worldly life, the Prophet’s status is revealed through what is spoken, whereas in the Hereafter, his status will be revealed through majestic circumstances that none will be able to deny.

    Comparison with Hazrat Yusuf (On whom be peace)

    • The greatness of Hazrat Yusuf ﷺ became recognized in Egypt, but the greatness of the Holy Prophet ﷺ will be revealed on the Day of Judgement.
    • On that day, the Holy Prophet ﷺ will be granted lofty positions, such as major intercession, his testimony in favor of all the Prophets, the Fountain of Kauthar, and permission for intercession.

    The Elevation of the Holy Prophet ﷺ at Every Moment

    • Every latter moment is superior to the former because with every passing moment, the Holy Prophet ﷺ’s status continues to rise, and his light remains at the highest elevation.

    The Impact of the Prophet’s ﷺ Intercession

    • The verse could also mean that through the Holy Prophet ﷺ's intercession and means, the Hereafter for people will be better than their worldly life.
    • Those who sever their connection with the Holy Prophet ﷺ will face disgrace in the Hereafter.

    Ala-Maududi

    (93:4) Indeed what is to come will be better for you than what has gone by.[4]

    4. This good news was given by Allah to the Prophet (peacebe upon him) in a state when he had only a handful ofMuslims with him, the entire nation was hostile and therewas not even a remote chance of success. The candle ofIslam was flickering only in Makkah and storms werebrewing all around to blow it out. At that juncture Allahsaid to His Prophet (peace be upon him): Do not at allgrieve at the hardships of the initial stage, every laterperiod of life will be better for you than the former period.Your power and glory, your honor and prestige will go onenhancing and your influence will go on spreading. Thispromise is not only confined to the world, but it alsoincludes the promise that the rank and position you will begranted in the Hereafter will be far higher and nobler thanthe rank and position you attain in the world. Tabarani inAwsat and Baihaqi in Ad-Dalail have related on theauthority of Ibn Abbas that the Prophet (peace be uponhim) said: All the victories which would be attained by myUmmah after me, were presented before me. This pleasedme much. Then, Allah sent down this Word, saying: TheHereafter is far better for you than the world.

    (4) And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
