Transliteration:( Wa iz awhaitu ilal hawaariyyeena an aaminoo bee wa bi Rasoolee qaalooo aamannaa washhad bi annanaa muslimoon )

111. And when I inspired in the hearts of the disciples (305), to believe in Me and in My Messenger, they said: "We have belived and you bear witness that we are Muslims (306)"

Surah Al-Maidah Ayat 111 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

305. When revelation is connected to a non-prophet it would mean to place in the heart. says Allah Almighty: "And we inspired the mother of Musa" (S28 V7). In another verse Allah Almighty says: "And vour Lord inspired the bee" (S16:V68) Here too revelation will have similar connotation 

306. From this emerges two issues:

1. One must not conceal ones faith and Islam but make it known to others.

2. To make the Prophet a witness to your faith is a virtuous and excellent deed, as they are the witnesses of Allah.

 

Ibn-Kathir

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

(5:112) Also recall when the disciples asked Jesus,[128] son of Mary: ‘Jesus, son of Mary, has your Lord the power to send down to us a repast from the heaven?’ There- upon Jesus said: ‘Fear Allah if you do indeed have faith.’

Ala-Maududi

(5:111) And recall when I revealed to the disciples to believe in Me and in My Mes-senger, they said: “We do believe, and we bear witness that we indeed are the ones who submit to Allah”[127]


127. Jesus is being told that the faith of the disciples in him was also the result of God’s grace and succour, for he, himself, did not have the power to produce even one man of faith in that land of disbelief. It is also made clear that the true religion of the disciples of Jesus was Islam.
