    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Mu’minun – Verse 118

    "And you submit, 'O my Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful.'"

    ✅ [163] The Prophet’s Final Du‘a in This Surah

    • This du‘a teaches believers to ask for forgiveness and mercy—two distinct but essential blessings:

      • Forgiveness (Maghfirah): removal of sins.

      • Mercy (Rahmah): gain of spiritual and worldly blessings.

    ✅ Intercession and Mercy

    • According to scholars, this du‘a may be:

      • For the Ummah of the Prophet ﷺ.

      • Or for all believers from every nation and age.

    • It implies the role of the Prophet ﷺ as an intercessor, supported by various authentic hadith.

    ✅ The Attribute: “Best of the Merciful”

    • Ends with Allah’s supreme mercy, highlighting:

      • Even when others show mercy, none compare to Allah.

      • Believers should always turn to Allah first and foremost for hope and forgiveness.

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah Al-Muminun verse 118 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 117 which provides the complete commentary from verse 117 through 118.

    (23:118) And say, (O Muhammad): “My Lord, forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of those that are merciful.”[107]

    Ala-Maududi

    (23:118) And say, (O Muhammad): “My Lord, forgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of those that are merciful.”[107]

    107. Compare and contrast this prayer with (Surah Al-Muminun, ayat 109). Here the Prophet (peace be upon him) has been told to make the same prayer as contained in (Surah Al-Muminun, ayat 109), as if to say, You (and your followers) should supplicate Allah with the same prayer so that, if the people scoff at you, they themselves might provide a proof of a strong case against themselves.

    (118) And, [O Muḥammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful."
