Surah Al-Qasas Ayat 42 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

113. This implies that bad publicity of anyone in the world is a curse from Allah Almighty while good publicity is a mercy from Him, as is the publicity being accorded to the Prophet. the saints and the pious. On the other hand the bad publicity of the devil is a curve of Allah Almighty for him, so much so that even the infidels are aware of the devil's disgrace and harmful infamy because if anyone calls them a devil they regard that as abusive language

114. By ugly condition means everything beneficial would be kept farther from these infidels and all types of evils would be brought closer to them. Thus, through the grace of Allah Almighty the believers would be nearer to everything good and distanced from everything harmful.
