Surah Al-Maidah Ayat 119 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

 325. By this means those who are steadfast in the world on true belief and doing good deeds will reap the benefits today while those who had false beliefs and did evil deeds will be in total loss today, From this we learn that there is no salvation and forgiveness for the infidels even though they may be the off-springs of the pious. No one is exempted from good deeds. As you sow, so shall you reap!

326. From "For Them" we learn that the Garden of Paradise will become the property of the inmates and that every inmate of Paradise will be given several of these gardens. Not just one river will flow in these heavenly gardens, but there will be rivers made of milk. honey, water, etc.

327. By "is pleased is means that Allah Almighty will be pleased with their few good deeds while they are pleased with the little sustenance He provides for them. Allah Almighty will forgive their sins. These people are not displeased with their Lord when calamities are sent upon them. From this, we learn regarding every sincere and pious person one can say: "May Allah be pleased with him." These words are not only restricted to the noble companions.

328. The greatest achievement lies in gaining the pleasure of Allah Almighty. Becoming king is not the true attainment of perfection, the attainment of perfection lies in becoming a pious servant of Allah.

 

Ibn-Kathir

119. Allah will say: “This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: Theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) — they shall abide therein forever. Allah is pleased with them and they with Him. That is the great success. 120. To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is able to do all things.


Only Truth will be of Benefit on the Day of Resurrection

Allah answers His servant and Messenger `Isa, son of Maryam, after he disowns the disbelieving Christians who lied about Allah and His Messenger, and when `Isa refers their end to the will of his Lord,

﴿هَـذَا يَوْمُ يَنفَعُ الصَّـدِقِينَ صِدْقُهُمْ﴾

(This is a Day on which the truthful will profit from their truth.) Ad-Dahhak said that Ibn `Abbas commented, “This is the Day when Tawhid will benefit those who believed in it.”

﴿لَهُمْ جَنَّـتٌ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا الاٌّنْهَـرُ خَـلِدِينَ فِيهَآ أَبَداً﴾

(Theirs are Gardens under which rivers flow (in Paradise) — they shall abide therein forever.) and they will never be removed from it,

﴿رِّضِىَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُواْ عَنْهُ﴾

(Allah is pleased with them and they with Him.)

﴿وَرِضْوَنٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ﴾

(But the greatest bliss is the good pleasure of Allah.) ﴿9:72﴾ We will mention the Hadiths about this Ayah ﴿9:72﴾ later on. Allah’s statement,

﴿ذلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ﴾

(That is the great success.) means, this is the great success, other than which there is no greater success. Allah said in another Ayat,

﴿لِمِثْلِ هَـذَا فَلْيَعْمَلِ الْعَـمِلُونَ ﴾

(For the like of this let the workers work.) ï´¿37:61ï´¾, and,

﴿وَفِى ذَلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَـفِسُونَ﴾

(And for this let (all) those strive who want to strive.) ﴿83:26﴾ Allah’s statement,

﴿للَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ وَمَا فِيهِنَّ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴾

(To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is therein, and He is able to do all things.) means, He created everything, owns everything, controls the affairs of everything and is able to do all things. Therefore, everything and everyone are in His domain and under His power and will. There is none like Him, nor is there rival, ancestor, son, or wife for Him, nor a lord or god besides Him. Ibn Wahb said that he heard Huyay bin `Abdullah saying that Abu `Abdur-Rahman Al-Habli said that `Abdullah bin `Amr said, “The last revealed Surah was Surat Al-Ma’idah.”

(5:119) Thereupon Allah will say: ‘This day truthfulness shall profit the truthful. For them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow. There they will abide for ever. Allah is well- pleased with them, and they well-pleased with Allah. That indeed is the mighty triumph.’
