Surah Al-Jinn Ayat 27 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

43. By providing them with information about specific unseen knowledge and manifestation of the highest order. Although some of the Saints of Allah Almighty are bestowed with unseen knowledge, but this is done through the medium of the Prophet. But the knowledge of the Prophet is superior to theirs.

44. This means when Allah Almighty sends revelation regarding unseen knowledge then there is a watch of angels around the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم and Hazrat Jibraeel (On whom be peace) so that the devils are kept at bay from listening to matters of the unseen, which they can convey to the soothsayers.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Jinn verse 27 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Jinn ayat 25 which provides the complete commentary from verse 25 through 28.

(72:27) other than to a Messenger whom He chooses[27] (for the bestowal of any part of the knowledge of the Unseen), whereafter He appoints guards who go before him and behind him,[28]

27. That is, the Messenger (peace be upon him) by himself is no knower of the unseen, but when Allah chooses him to perform the mission of Prophethood, He grants him the knowledge of those of the unseen truths which He is pleased to grant.

28. Guards: Angels, that is, when Allah sends down the knowledge of the unseen realities to the Messenger (peace be upon him) by revelation, He appoints angels on every side to safeguard it so that the knowledge reaches the Messenger in a safe condition, free from any kind of adulteration. This is the same thing which has been expressed in verses 8-9 above, saying: After the appointment of the Messenger (peace be upon him) the jinn found that all the doors to the heavens had been closed, and they noticed that strict security measures had been adopted because of which no room had been left for them to eavesdrop.
