Surah Al-Maidah Ayat 50 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

163. In Madinatul Munawwarah lived two tribes, Bani Nazeer and Bani Kuraiza who were always at loggerheads with one another. Bani Nazeer being stronger could always take double compensation for their dead but they would only pay half compensation to Bani Kuraiza for their dead. Bani Kuraiza complained to the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم  for the injustice and cruelty of Bani Nazeer.

The Holy Prophet in passing judgement said that the blood of both tribes is equal, hence the compensation should be equal as well. The Bani Nazeer refused to accept this. The above was revealed on this occasion. From this we learn that showing displeasure at Islamic laws and obeying ones own desires is the way of the infidels.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Maidah verse 50 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Maidah ayat 48 which provides the complete commentary from verse 48 through 50.

(5:50) (If they turn away from the Law of Allah) do they desire judgement according to the Law of Ignorance?[83] But for those who have certainty of belief whose judgement can be better than Allah’s?

83. The word jahiliyah (literally ‘ignorance’) is used as an antonym to Islam. Islam is the way of ‘ilm (true knowledge), since it is God Himself Who has shown this way, and His knowledge embraces everything. In contrast is the way that diverges from Islam – the path of Ignorance (jahiliyah). The pre-Islamic period in Arabia is designated as jahiliyah because this was the era when human beings derived their norms from either superstitious beliefs, conjectures and imagination or from their desires. Whenever such an attitude is adopted, it is bound to be designated as Ignorance. The appellation ‘jahiliyah’ will apply to every aspect of life which is developed in disregard of the knowledge made available by God, based only on man’s partial knowledge blended with imagination, superstitious fancies, conjectures and desires.
