Surah An-Naba Ayat 21 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

13. This means that Hell itself is waiting for the infidels. Or, the angels of Hell. From the first point, it is proven, that Hell has discerning power. It recognizes those who are entitled for it from those who are not. In fact, every animal and inorganic thing in the world has intelligence. They can hear and speak. The Saints of Allah Almighty understand their speech.

The Noble Companions themselves had heard the weeping and talking of the Pillar of Hananah. From the second point it is proven that the angels of Hell are aware of who would die as infidels and who as believers.

The knowledge is the edge of the Holy Prophet much more than them. Thus, he too is fully aware of their destiny. From this, it is proven that the inmates of Paradise and the hoories and the heavenly youth (ghilmaan) are awaiting the arrival of the believers, as is stated in the Hadith Shareef that when the wife of the inmate of Paradise fights with him, then the hoories of Paradise proclaim do not fight with him because he is a guest of Paradise by you, who will soon be coming to us.
