Surah Al-Isra Ayat 58 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

126 At the time of the first blowing of the trumpet. Thus by Qiyamah is meant the time of resurrection prior to which everything would have perished.

127. Hazrat Abdullah ibn Masood (May Allah be pleased with him) says that any place which abounds in adultery and usury will become the victim of devastation. Some Ulema have said that devastation would be for the settlements of the believers and punishment for the settlements of sinners (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan).

 

Ibn-Kathir

58. And there is not a town (population) but We shall destroy it before the Day of Resurrection, or punish it with a severe torment. That is written in the Book (of Our decrees)


The Destruction or Torment of all Disbelieving Towns before the Hour begins

Here Allah tells us that He has decreed and it is written in Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz (The Preserved Tablet) which is with Him, that there is no town that He will not destroy by wiping out all its people or by punishing them,

﴿عَذَاباً شَدِيداً﴾

(with a severe torment.) either by killing them or sending calamities upon them as He wills. This will be because of their sins, as Allah says of the past nations:

﴿وَمَا ظَلَمْنَـهُمْ وَلَـكِن ظَلَمُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ﴾

(We wronged them not, but they wronged themselves.) ﴿11:101﴾

﴿فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَـقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْراً ﴾

(So it tasted the evil result of its affair (disbelief), and the consequence of its affair (disbelief) was loss.) ﴿65:9﴾

﴿وَكَأِيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ﴾

(And many a town (population) revolted against the command of its Lord and His Messengers;) ﴿65:8﴾ and many Ayat.

(17:58) There is not a town but We shall destroy it or upon which We shall inflict severe chastisement[66] before the Day of Resurrection. This is written down in the Eternal Book (of Allah).

Ala-Maududi

(17:58) There is not a town but We shall destroy it or upon which We shall inflict severe chastisement[66] before the Day of Resurrection. This is written down in the Eternal Book (of Allah).


66. This is to remove the delusion of the disbelievers that their habitations were immune from danger or chastisement. This verse warns that every habitation will be destroyed as a matter of course or by Allah’s chastisement.
