Surah Al-Baqarah Ayat 166 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

352. It means they will be disgusted in their graves or on the Day of Judgement i.e. if the infidels can only reflect on this punishment they would not commit infidelity. This verse also clarifies that the disgust and disappointment of the followers concerning their religious leaders is in itself the punishment of the infidels. The will, if Allah Holy Prophet wills, not be disgusted with his Ummah (followers), but will intercede on their behalf. The Hadith in which the Holy Prophet - is reported to have said will not intercede for those who default with the payment of Zakaat" refers to those people who reject the institution of Zakaat, or it is said to instil fear in believers so that they will pay their Zakaat as prescribed by Allah. Otherwise, the Messenger of Allah says "My intercession will be for those who have committed major sins as well." Furthermore, the Hadith which says that the defaulters of Sunnah will be deprived of the Holy Prophet's intercession is regarding the highest form of intercession and not the one for which repentance is obtained. Thus, there is no contradiction of any type the verses of the QUR'AAN and the Ahadith of the Holy Prophetصلى الله عليه وآله وسلم
353. On the Day of Judgement family relation and connection will not help the infidels in any way, but these will benefit the believers. The Holy QUR'AAN, says: "We joined them with their off-spring and diminished not anything from their deeds"(S52: V21). It is for this reason that small children of Muslims will be in Paradise with their parents. The cutting off of other ties is mentioned in respect of infidels.

إِذۡ تَبَرَّأَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتُّبِعُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُواْ وَرَأَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ وَتَقَطَّعَتۡ بِهِمُ ٱلۡأَسۡبَابُ
(2:166) At that moment those who have been followed will disown their followers, and they will see the chastisement, and their resources will be cut asunder.
