Surah Al-Isra Ayat 111 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

228.As was said by the polytheists of Arabia, the Christians, and the Jews. The polytheists called the angels as the daughters of Allah Almighty, while the Jews were calling Hazrat Uzair (On whom be peace), and Christians were calling Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) the son of God.

229.As is the belief of the polytheists of Arabia and India. The Zorastrians believed that YAZDAAN is the creator of everything good. and AHARMAAN is the creator of everything evil. The belief of the Mo'tazilla sect is that every person is the creator of his own deeds. All these are means of making association in Kingdom

230 In it refutation is made of these polytheists who were holding such beliefs that Allah Almighty enlisted the help of some because He is unable to take care of the management of the entire universe i.e. He is weak (Allah forbid!). In terms of Islamic beliefs, Allah Almighty has bestowed friendship out of honor on some of His servants e.g. the angels have been given the management of the world, and not out of weakness.

231.Recite the glory of Allah Almighty (ALLAHO AKBAR) in Salaah and out of Salaah. It is stated in a Hadith Shareef that Allah Almighty loves the following FOUR words 

1. LA ILAHA ILLALLAH: There is no god but. Allah: 

2. ALLAHO AKBAR: Allah is the Greatest: 

3. SUBHANALLAH, Allah be praised: 

4. ALHAMDOLILLAH; All praise is due to Allah Some Sheikhs of the Qadiri order recite after every Salaah the verse from 14 QULIL HAMDO LILLAH! till the end aloud and recite Takbir loudly.



 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Al-Isra verse 111 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Isra ayat 110 which provides the complete commentary from verse 110 through 111.

(17:111) And say: “All praise be to Allah Who has neither taken to Himself a son, nor has He any partner in His kingdom, nor does He need anyone, out of weakness, to protect Him.”[125] So glorify Him in a manner worthy of His glory.

125. A subtle sarcasm is implied in the sentence. The mushriks believed that Allah had appointed assistants and deputies for the administration of His kingdom. Obviously this meant that Allah was helpless and powerless to carry out the administration of His kingdom. Therefore, He needed supporters to help Him in the work of His Godhead. This sentence negates their false creeds, saying: He does not stand in need of any gods and saints in order to delegate to them the different departments of His Godhead or make them governors in different parts of His kingdom.
