Surah Al-Hijr Ayat 28 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

35. This information was given by Allah Almighty to the angels and Iblees before the creation of Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace), because the congregation was that of the angels, Iblees was the only one in it, therefore mention is made of angels and not of him. Here, reference to Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) as a human being is indeed the highest praise of him because the word BASHAR is derived from MUBASHARAT which means that Allah Almighty Himself created him directly without any help of the angels. 

He says "That which I created with My own hands" (S38:V75). This means Hazrat Adam (On whom be peace) is the creation unique of His Providential Power. It should be remembered that it is like the final creation, just as our Holy Prophet is the seal among the Prophets.

 

Ibn-Kathir

28. And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: “I am going to create a man (Adam) from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud. ” 29. “So, when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him (Adam) of My spirit (the soul which I created for him,) then fall down, prostrating yourselves before him.” 30. So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together. 31. Except Iblis (Shaytan) – he refused to be among the prostrate. 32. (Allah said: “O Iblis! What is your reason for not being among the prostrate” 33. Iblis ﴾said: “I am not one to prostrate myself to a human, whom You created from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud.”

The creation of Adam, the Command to the Angels to prostrate to Him, and the Rebellion of Iblis

Allah informs us of how He mentioned Adam to His angels before He created him, and how He honored him by commanding the angels to prostrate to him. He mentions how His enemy Iblis, amidst all the angels, refused to prostrate to him out of envy, disbelief, stubbornness, arrogance, and false pride. This is why Iblis said:

﴿لَمْ أَكُن لاًّسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِن صَلْصَـلٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ﴾

(I am not one to prostrate myself to a human, whom You created from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud.) this is like when he said,

﴿أَنَاْ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ﴾

(I am better than him (Adam), You created me from Fire and him You created from clay.)(7:12) and

﴿أَرَءَيْتَكَ هَـذَا الَّذِى كَرَّمْتَ عَلَىَّ﴾

(“Do you see this one whom You have honored above me…”) ﴿17:62﴾

(15:28) Recall when your Lord said to the angels: “I will indeed bring into being a human being out of dry ringing clay wrought from black mud.
