    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Hajj – Verse 67

    "To every nation We made principles of worship that they should observe [137], so they should not dispute with you in this matter, and call them towards your Lord. [138] Indeed, you are on the straight path. [139]"

    ✅ [137] Reason for Revelation – Lawful and Unlawful Slaughter

    This verse was revealed in response to Budail ibn Waraqa, Bashar ibn Sufyan, and others who mocked the Muslims by saying:
    "You call animals slaughtered by yourselves lawful, but those killed naturally by Allah you call unlawful!"

    The verse explains that in every divine religion, Allah prescribed specific rules of worship, including those regarding slaughter and dietary laws. Though all creatures die by Allah’s will, only those animals whose blood flows in His name are lawful. Others remain prohibited.

    ✅ [138] Prophetic Invitation to the Divine Being

    While all Prophets invited towards the attributes of Allah, the **Holy Prophet ﷺ uniquely invites towards Allah's Essence (Personality).

    That’s why the Qur’an describes him as:
    "An inviter towards Allah, by His command." (S33:V46)
    His invitation continues till the Day of Judgement, and the mission of saints and scholars is a continuation of his message.

    ✅ [139] The Prophet ﷺ is the Straight Path

    The Prophet ﷺ himself is proof of the Straight Path, as stated:
    "Indeed, my Lord has guided me to the Straight Path." (S6:V161)

    Following his life and teachings is the very definition of remaining on Sirat al-Mustaqeem, and those who sincerely wish to reach him must be on that path.

    Ibn-Kathir

    67. For every nation We have made Mansak which they must follow; so let them not dispute with you on the matter, but invite them to your Lord. Verily, you indeed are on the straight guidance. 68. And if they argue with you, say: “Allah knows best of what you do.” 69. “Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein you used to differ.”

    Every Nation has its Religious Ceremonies

    Allah tells us that He has made Mansak for every nation. Ibn Jarir said, “This means that there are Mansak for every Prophet’s nation.” He said, “The origin of the word Mansik in Arabic means the place to which a person returns repeatedly, for good or evil purposes. So the Manasik (rites) of Hajj are so called because the people return to them and adhere to them.” If the phrase “For every nation We have ordained religious ceremonies” means that every Prophet’s nation has its religious ceremonies as ordained by Allah, then the phrase “So let them (the pagans) not dispute with you on the matter” refers to the idolators. If the phrase “For every nation We have ordained religious ceremonies” means that it is the matter of Qadar (divine decree), as in the Ayah,

    ﴿وَلِكُلٍّ وِجْهَةٌ هُوَ مُوَلِّيهَا﴾

    (For each nation there is a direction to which they face)﴿2:148﴾ Allah says here:

    ﴿هُمْ نَاسِكُوهُ﴾

    (which they Nasikuh) meaning, which they must act upon. The pronoun here refers back to those who have these religious ceremonies and ways, i.e., they do this by the will and decree of Allah, so do not let their dispute with you over that divert you from following the truth. Allah says:

    ﴿وَادْعُ إِلَى رَبِّكَ إِنَّكَ لَعَلَى هُدًى مُّسْتَقِيمٍ﴾

    (but invite them to your Lord. Verily, you indeed are on the straight guidance.) i.e., a clear and straight path which will lead you to the desired end. This is like the Ayah:

    ﴿وَلاَ يَصُدُّنَّكَ عَنْ ءَايَـتِ اللّهِ بَعْدَ إِذْ أُنزِلَتْ إِلَيْكَ وَادْعُ إِلَى رَبِّكَ﴾

    (And let them not turn you away from the Ayat of Allah after they have been sent down to you: and invite to your Lord) ﴿28:87﴾

    ﴿وَإِن جَـدَلُوكَ فَقُلِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴾

    (And if they argue with you, say: “Allah knows best what you do.”) This is like the Ayah:

    ﴿وَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل لِّى عَمَلِى وَلَكُمْ عَمَلُكُمْ أَنتُمْ بَرِيئُونَ مِمَّآ أَعْمَلُ وَأَنَاْ بَرِىءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ ﴾

    (And if they belie you, say: “For me are my deeds and for you are your deeds! You are innocent of what I do, and I am innocent of what you do!”) ﴿10:41﴾

    ﴿اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ﴾

    (Allah knows best of what you do.) This is a stern warning and definite threat, as in the Ayah:

    ﴿هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تُفِيضُونَ فِيهِ كَفَى بِهِ شَهِيداً بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ﴾

    (He knows best of what you say among yourselves concerning it! Sufficient is He as a witness between me and you!)﴿46: 8﴾. Allah says here:

    ﴿اللّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَـمَةِ فِيمَا كُنتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ ﴾

    (Allah will judge between you on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein you used to differ.) This is like the Ayah:

    ﴿فَلِذَلِكَ فَادْعُ وَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَآ أُمِرْتَ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَآءَهُمْ وَقُلْ ءَامَنتُ بِمَآ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ مِن كِتَـبٍ﴾

    (So unto this then invite, and stand firm as you are commanded, and follow not their desires but say: “I believe in whatsoever Allah has sent down of the Book.”) ﴿42:15﴾

    (22:67) For every people[115] We have prescribed a way of worship[116] which they follow. So, (O Muhammad), let them not dispute with you concerning this,[117] and call them to Your Lord. You are certainly on the Straight Way.[118]

    Ala-Maududi

    (22:67) For every people[115] We have prescribed a way of worship[116] which they follow. So, (O Muhammad), let them not dispute with you concerning this,[117] and call them to Your Lord. You are certainly on the Straight Way.[118]

    115. That is, the community of every Prophet.

    116. Here the Arabic word mansak has been used in its most comprehensive sense which also includes sacrifice (Surah Al-Hajj, ayat 34). It means service, worship, in short, the entire way of life. The same theme has been expressed in (Surah Al-Maidah, Ayat 48): We prescribed a law and a way of life for each of you.

    117. That is, now you have brought a way of life just as the former Prophets brought ways of life for their people. Therefore the people have no right to dispute with you concerning the law you have brought.

    118. This confirms the explanation given in (Surah Al-Hajj, ayat 67) note 117 above.

    (67) For every [religious] community We have appointed rites which they perform. So, [O Muḥammad], let them [i.e., the disbelievers] not contend with you over the matter but invite [them] to your Lord. Indeed, you are upon straight guidance.
