Surah Al-Jathiyah Ayat 15 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

26. This means through your action only your obligations would he fulfilled. No one can perform fard Salaah on anyone's behalf, it could mean the reward of your good deeds will certainly be given to you even if you had conveyed its rewards to another person. Thus, this verse is not against the concept of Esaale Sawab.

27. The preposition is for compulsion. No person can commit sins and convey its punishment to another. Only he himself will suffer the punishment of his sins. Although the one who had misled the person and tempted him to commit the sins will be punished, but this punishment will be for leading the person astray, but not for the sin itself, because that had been the action of the doer humself . Thus, the meaning of the verse is crystal clear No. objection can be raised against it

28. The believer will go with joy, just like a Visitor goes with joy to his dear friend's house.The infidel will go out of compulsion, just as when a criminal is presented before the judge through the police It is better that you should go happily.
