Surah Al-Qasas Ayat 5 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

8. This tells us that prophethood and kingdom are some of the major favours from the kind offices of Allah Almighty.

9. Religious as well as worldly, so that Israelites should obtain guidance from Hazrat Moosa On whom he peace) while others should obtain it from the Israelites

10.Here the 'heir' does not denote inheritance in terms of religion because a believer cannot be an heir of an infidel. Also, there was no genealogical relationship between the Qibtees (people of the Pharaoh) and the Israelites. Instead. it denotes inheritance in the absurd way, ie becoming an heir of his wealth after his death.
