58. And your Lord is the Forgiver full of mercy. If He would have seized them for what they did then he would have hastened torment (139) for them. But for them there is an appointed time (140). against which they will not find any refuge.

Surah Al-Kahf Ayat 58 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

139. Allah Almighty says if He were quick to pounce for every sin committed, then by now Divine punishment would have descended upon them already. By Allah Almighty there is no haste as only that judge is hasty who fears the disappearance of the criminal. But, where will the sinner of Allah Almighty run? He is at all times under His total control. Allah be Praised! A true king is he, from whom no one is beyond control.

140. That is Judgement Day, or day of death, or the day appointed for his burial, or the day on which he suffers complete annihilation at the hands of the believers.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Kahf verse 57 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Kahf ayat 55 which provides the complete commentary from verse 55 through 59.

(18:58) Your Lord is All-Forgiving, full of mercy. Had He wished to take them to task for their doings, He would have hastened in sending His scourge upon them. But He has set for them a time-limit which they cannot evade.[55]

Ala-Maududi

(18:58) Your Lord is All-Forgiving, full of mercy. Had He wished to take them to task for their doings, He would have hastened in sending His scourge upon them. But He has set for them a time-limit which they cannot evade.[55]


55. This is to warn the foolish people that they should not be deluded by the respite that is given to them and presume that they will never be taken to task whatever they may go on doing. They forget that Allah gives them respite because He is Forgiving and Forbearing and does not punish the evil doers on the spot, for His Mercy demands that the evil doers should be given respite so that they may mend their ways.
