ثُمَّ يَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَٰمَةِ يُخۡزِيهِمۡ وَيَقُولُ أَيۡنَ شُرَكَآءِيَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمۡ تُشَـٰٓقُّونَ فِيهِمۡۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ إِنَّ ٱلۡخِزۡيَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ وَٱلسُّوٓءَ عَلَى ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

Transliteration:( Summa Yawmal Qiyaamati yukhzeehim wa yaqoolu aina shurakaaa'iyal lazeena kuntum tushaaaqqoona feehim; qaalal lazeena ootul 'ilma innal khizyal Yawma wassooo'a 'alal kaafireen )

27. Then on the Day of Judgement, He will disgrace (52) them and will say, "Where are those My associates, regarding whom you used to dispute" (53). The men with knowledge will say (54), all disgrace and vice are upon the infidels.'

Surah An-Nahl Ayat 27 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

52. From this emerge two issues; 

1. The worldly punishment of the infidels will in no way decrease their punishment of the Hereafter. That punishment will be of a separate kind.

2. Although Allah Almighty would be punishing the sinful believers, they would not be humiliated. Humiliation is especially for the infidels. The sinful believers would be punished in such a hidden manner that no one will even know about it.

53. This address of the Almighty would be to reprimand the infidels, while calling the idols as their associates would be for expressing of His wrath i.e. where are those idols now which you had been always as my associates. Prophets and Saints are not included in this verse, because no believer ever accepts them as partners of Allah Almighty. These Prophets and Saints would certainly be helping their devotees with the permission of Allah Almighty.

54. By "the men of knowledge" the Prophets of their people, their scholars, their Saints, the Ulama and Saints of the Ummah of the Holy Prophet From this we learm that the status of the Ulama is high in this world as well as in the Hereafter, because Allah Almighty has narrated their statement.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah An-Nahl verse 27 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nahl ayat 26 which provides the complete commentary from verse 26 through 27.

(16:27) And again, on the Day of Resurrection, He will bring them to disgrace, and say: “Tell Me, now, where are those to whom you ascribed a share in My Divinity, and for whose sake you disputed (with the upholders of the Truth)?” Those[23] who were endowed with knowledge (in the world) will say: “Surely today humiliation and misery shall be the lot of the unbelievers”;

23. There is a gap between this answer and the preceding question which has been left for the reader to fill. When Allah will ask: Now where are My partners, there will be dead silence in the plain where the entire mankind shall have to gather on the occasion of Resurrection. The disbelievers and the mushriks will be dumb founded for they will be at a loss to find an answer to this. Then those who had been given knowledge will make the assertion, “Indeed, disgrace, this day, and evil are upon the disbelievers.”
