Surah Al-Muminun Ayat 75 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

110. Due to the prayer of the Holy Prophet, Makkah Muazzamah was plunged into seven years of severe famine, so much so that in order to survive, people were eating the bark of trees.

Thereafter, the leader of the city approached Hazrat Abu Sufyaan to plead to the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم to pray for rain.
Hazrat Abu Sufyaan said to the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم that You claim to be the mercy unto the world, yet you are seeing how the Makkans are being destroyed by hunger.
Pray that Allah Almighty ends this famine. Then the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم prayed for an end to this famine. Reference to it is made in this verse. Allah Almighty says that these people practice flattery temporarily, and after they are relieved of the hardship, they will not come back to you.
From this, we learn that even the infidels knew that the prayer of the Holy Prophet Prophet, can ward off calamities. Thus any person after claiming to be a Muslim turns away from the court of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم is more foolish than the infidels.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Al-Muminun verse 75 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 68 which provides the complete commentary from verse 68 through 75.

(23:75) Were We to be merciful to them and remove from them their present afflictions, they would persist in their transgression, blindly wandering on.[72]

72. The affliction alluded to in this verse was the famine which occurred in Makkah some time after the advent of Prophethood. According to Abdullah bin Masud, when the Quraish persistently refused to accept the invitation of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and started putting up stiff resistance, he prayed: O Allah, help me against them with a seven year famine like the seven year famine of the time of Prophet Joseph. So a severe famine started in Makkah with the result that people were obliged to eat carrion. This famine has been alluded to in a number of Makki Surahs. For instance see (Surah Al-Anaam, Ayat 42-44); (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 94-99); (Surah Yunus, Ayat 11-12), (Surah Yunus, Ayat 21); (Surah An-Nahl, Ayat 112-113) and (Surah Ad-Dukhan, Ayat 10-16) along with the relevant E.Ns.
