    📖 Commentary of Surah Al-Mu’minoon – Verse 53

    "Then their people cut up their affairs among themselves [83]. Each group is happy [84] over what is with them."

    ✅ [83] Division Among the People of Scripture

    This refers to how the followers of earlier prophets—like the Jews and Christians—became divided, creating sects and opposing factions. They began to label one another as disbelievers, despite sharing the same divine origin of religion.

    ✅ [84] Self-Satisfaction in Misguided Beliefs

    Each sect clung to its own interpretations and innovations, treating their self-made ideas as religion, and took pride and joy in them. The phrase “over what is with them” shows their attachment to personal opinions, even when they deviated from revealed truth.

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah Al-Muminun verse 53 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 51 which provides the complete commentary from verse 51 through 56.

    (23:53) But people later cut up their religion into bits, each group rejoicing in what they have.[48]

    Ala-Maududi

    (23:53) But people later cut up their religion into bits, each group rejoicing in what they have.[48]

    48. This is not a mere statement of a fact, but it is a link of the same argument which is being put forward from the very beginning of the Surah. The argument is this: Islam has been the real and original religion of all the Prophets from Noah to Jesus (peace be upon them all), because all of them brought and taught the same doctrines of Tauhid and the Hereafter. On the contrary, all the other religions are the perversions of the real and original religion, which has been tampered with in many ways. Therefore, those who are following the perverted religions are in the wrong and not the Prophet (peace be upon him) who is inviting them to the real and original religion.

    (53) But they [i.e., the people] divided their religion among them into portions [i.e., sects] - each faction, in what it has,[960] rejoicing.

    [960]- Of beliefs, opinions, customs, etc.
