72. And when Our bright signs are recited to them, then you will see symptoms of denial in the faces of those who have disbelieved. (145) It is near that they may attack on those who recite Our signs to them. Say you, shall I inform you of what is worse(146) than of your this condition? That is the Fire. Allah has promised it to the infidels, And what an evil place of return? (147).

Surah Al-Hajj Ayat 72 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

145. From this, we learn that the face is the mirror of the heart. Feelings of the heart appear on the face. Furthermore, the recognition of the believer is on his face. On hearing the Hamd (Praises of Allah Almighty) and Praises of the Naat  of Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم the face of a believer glows with joy. while that of the infidel distorts with displeasure.

146. This means that at the moment you become enraged on just hearing about Hell. etc. but when you will actually see Hell you will be exceedingly enraged. The condition of the inmate of Paradise is opposite to this, its mention makes the believer happy, while its sight will make him totally elated. 

147. Here the word promise is used to denote a warning Allah Almighty has given those who die as infidels, a positive promise of Hell. Although the sinful believers have been warned about Hell, they have also been given hope of forgiveness. He says "Undoubtedly Allah forgives not that infidelity be done with Him and whatever is besides infidelity He shall forgive whomsoever He pleases" (S4:V48). Thus this verse is applicable to the infidels only.
