Surah Al-Muminun Ayat 14 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

14. It should be remembered that the above-mentioned changes take place after every forty days. A forty-day period is indeed a very blessed thing.

15. Then the soul was breathed into it and granted him the power to hear and see. Allah be praised! 

16. Here the word 'made' denotes to give it a form and shape. Hazrat lesa (On whom be peace) has said: "I make a form out of clay for you" (S3: V49). If it is used for creating them, no comparison nor contrast is intended here because to describe the excellence of an object in Arabic this grammatical tense is used.

Says Allah Almighty: "Allah is the best of providers" (S63:V11). This verse does not mean there are many creators from whom Allah Almighty is the best. This would amount to absolute polytheism. It is important to respect Arabic idiomatic usage because the Holy Qur'an has been revealed in this language.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Al-Muminun verse 14 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 12 which provides the complete commentary from verse 12 through 16.

(23:14) then We made this drop into a clot, then We made the clot into a lump, then We made the lump into bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh,[12] and then We caused it to grow into another creation.[13] Thus Most Blessed is Allah, the Best of all those that create.[14]

12. For explanation see (Surah Al-Hajj, ayat 5) note 5-6 (Surah Al-Hajj, ayat 7) note 9.

13. Now let the disbelievers consider the message of the Prophet (peace be upon him) by observing their own creation, for this will convince them of its truth by proving its doctrine of Tauhid. The origin of man is from a mere inanimate sperm-drop, which undergoes several changes in the womb of the mother. But after this, when it sees the light of the day, it is quite a different creation from the embryo in the womb. Now it can hear, it can see, and in due course of time it can talk and think. Then, when he reaches adulthood and maturity, he is capable of performing wonderful deeds. It is obvious that Allah alone could create all these characteristics in an inanimate sperm-drop.

14. The various stages of the creation of man have been cited to prove that Allah is All-Blessed and there is no human language which can describe the praise of which He is worthy, as if to say: That Allah Who is able to develop an essence of clay into a perfect man, does not have any partner in His Godhead. Moreover, He has the power to raise him up again after his death, and is capable of working even greater wonders.
