Surah Al-Waqiah Ayat 85 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

77. This means Allah Almighty's knowledge and Power is much nearer to Him. Or, that His angels and the Angel of Death and their servants are nearer to Him. Otherwise, Allah Almighty is free from space and time. From this we learn that the nearness of Allah Almighty's special devotees is in reality the nearness of Allah. Those who are the sacred devotees of Allah Almighty are indeed with Him.

78. They do not reflect on the splendours of Allah Almighty. Or they do not observe His angels. The formation of "sight" is either from sight or from insight.
