Surah Al-Mutaffifeen Ayat 31 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

21. It means the infidels were committing three major crimes in the world:

1. Making fun of the believers

2. Winking and making evil suggestions on seeing the believers.

3. And expressing joy on committing sins.

From this we learn that backbiting is not done verbally only but through evil suggestions of the eye, etc. as well. We further learn that the infidels are duty bound to keep their affairs straight even if they are not duty bound to acts of worship. Also, expressing joy at sins is an act of sin and the way of the infidels.

Ibn-Kathir
