Surah Al-Hashr Ayat 20 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi
  • Shaheen International

58. This means the believer, the infidels, the fortunate, the wicked, the transgressors, and the pious, are not equal in status, although physically they appear similar in form and shape. 

When the inmates of Paradise and Hell are not the same, in fact even all the inmates of Paradise are of differing status: some are superior to the others, then how can the Prophet and his follower be the same in status?

From this verse, those persons need to take a lesson who claim equality with the Prophet.

59. That he spent his life seeking the pleasure of Allah Almighty and thus became entitled to receive His Bounties. The infidels had been in a state of loss at both places.
