    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Anfal – Verse 55

    "Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those who disbelieve [128] and do not believe."

    ✅ 128 Disbelievers Deemed Worse Than Animals

    This verse declares that disbelievers are worse than animals in the sight of Allah. While animals lack intellect and are not held accountable for belief, they do not commit infidelity or polytheism. In contrast, disbelievers possess reason and understanding, yet consciously reject the truth and oppose Allah Almighty. Therefore, punishment is prescribed for disbelieving humans, but not for animals, whose actions are devoid of willful rebellion.

    Ibn-Kathir

    55. Verily, the worst of living creatures before Allah are those who disbelieve, — so they shall not believe. 56. They are those with whom you made a covenant, but they break their covenant every time and they do not have Taqwa. 57. So if you gain the mastery over them in war, then disperse those who are behind them, so that they may learn a lesson.

    Striking Hard against Those Who disbelieve and break the Covenants

    Allah states here that the worst moving creatures on the face of the earth are those who disbelieve, who do not embrace the faith, and break promises whenever they make a covenant, even when they vow to keep them,

    ﴿وَهُمْ لاَ يَتَّقُونَ﴾

    (and they do not have Taqwa) meaning they do not fear Allah regarding any of the sins they commit.

    ﴿فَإِمَّا تَثْقَفَنَّهُمْ فِى الْحَرْبِ﴾

    (So if you gain the mastery over them in war), if you defeat them and have victory over them in war,

    ﴿فَشَرِّدْ بِهِم مَّنْ خَلْفَهُمْ﴾

    (then disperse those who are behind them,) by severely punishing ﴿the captured people﴾ according to Ibn `Abbas, Al-Hasan Al-Basri, Ad-Dahhak, As-Suddi, `Ata’ Al-Khurasani and Ibn `Uyaynah. This Ayah commands punishing them harshly and inflicting casualties on them. This way, other enemies, Arabs and non-Arabs, will be afraid and take a lesson from their end,

    ﴿لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ﴾

    (so that they may learn a lesson. )

    As-Suddi commented, “They might be careful not to break treaties, so that they do not meet the same end.”

    (8:55) Surely the worst moving creatures in the sight of Allah are those who definitively denied the truth and are therefore in no way prepared to accept it;
