Surah An-Nahl Ayat 32 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

 65. This tells us reliability and credence is given to one's end i.e. time of death. A truly pious person is he whose death is on piety. We further learn that at the time of death there is a presence of a large number of angels - Angel of Death and those under his control. the Also that all these angels are present in the entire world at the same time.

66. From this we learn that the angels of death come after greeting the believer and take out his soul after giving him glad tidings about Paradise so that the agonics of death would become less.

67. Either give this glad tidings presently in a spiritual way that your souls will not visit Paradise in the form of birds, or that cool air of Paradise will continue to come in your grave, or that after Judgement Day would be granted Paradise, because going to Paradise in a physical state will only take place after the Day of Judgement.
68. It should be remembered that Paradise will be achieved through three ways: firstly through deeds for the pious; secondly through the blessings of the good deeds, like the minor children of the believers would get Paradise without any deeds; thirdly that creation which would be created to fill Paradise.

Here the first category is addressed. Says Allah Almighty "We joined them with their offspring" (S52"V21). Because generally Paradise would be achieved through good deeds, this is repeatedly mentioned in the Holy QUR'AAN. The Ulama state that entry into Paradise will be due to grace and bounty of Allah Almighty, and its different ranks will be according to the deeds Bayaan).
