Surah Al-Mulk Ayat 3 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

8 All the seven heavens are piled one over the other in such a manner that the upper heaven has fully encompassed the lower heaven. This does not necessarily mean that it is joined or fixed with one another. Thus, there is no inconsistency hetween the verse and the Hadith. Between every two heavens there is a distance of five hundred years.

9 This means that in His creation nothing is inappropriate and improper He created everything as it should be created. This suitability and appropriateness is found in every creation including the heavens and the earth.

10. This means that you will not be able to see any breakage, wear and tear or dilapidation There are doors in the heavens from which the angels descend, and on the Night of Me'raaj, the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم Entered.

But, these doors are not of obstructive nature. Thus, from this verse it is not proven that there are no doors in the heavens. Says Allah Almighty: "And the sky shall be opened up and I will become doors"(S78:V19).

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Al-Mulk verse 3 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Mulk ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 5.

(67:3) Who created the seven heavens one upon another.[6] You will see no incongruity in the Merciful One’s creation.[7] Turn your vision again, can you see any flaw?[8]

6. For explanation, see (Surah Al-Baqarah, ayat 29) note 34; (Surah Ar-Raad, ayat 2) note 2; (Surah Al-Hijr, ayat 16) note 8; (Surah Al-Hajj, ayat 65) note 113; (Surah Al-Muminoon, ayat 17) note 15; (Surah As-Saaffat, ayat 6) note 5; (Surah Al-Mumin, ayat 64) note 90.

7. Literally, tafawut is disproportion: two things being out of accord and in disagreement with each other. So, the divine words mean: You will not see any indiscipline, any disorder and discordance anywhere in the universe, there is nothing disjointed and out of proportion in this world created by Allah: all its parts are well connected and in perfect harmony and coordination.

8. The word futoor means a crack, rift, fissure, or a thing’s being split and broken. The verse means to say that the whole universe is so closely well-knit and everything in it, from a particle on the earth to the huge galaxies, so well connected and coherent that the continuity of the system of the universe seems to break nowhere, however hard one may try to probe and investigate. For further explanation, see (Surah Qaf, ayat 6) note 8.
