Surah An-Najm Ayat 28 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

32. This means in opposition to the order of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم is of Allah Almighty. Their mere conjecture is false, like how the conjecture of the devil, in opposition to Divine order, became the cause of his destruction. If conjecture is in accordance with categorical statement of Qiyaas, then it will be regarded as true.

Says Allah Almighty: "Those who are sure that they have to meet their Lord and return unto Him alone"(S2:V46). Further, it is stated: "Why it did not happen when your Lord heard it that the Muslim men and women would have thought good of their own people, and say 'this is manifest slander "(S24:V12). Thus, this verse cannot become a proof for the people of defective beliefs to reject Qiyaas (analogy).

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Tur verse 28 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Tur ayat 27 which provides the complete commentary from verse 27 through 30.

(53:28) although they have no knowledge regarding that. They only follow their conjecture[23] and conjecture can never take the place of the Truth.

23. That is, they have not adopted this creed about the angels on the ground that they had found through some means of knowledge that they were females and daughters of God, but they have presumed this on mere conjecture and have set up these shrines at which they pray for fulfillment of desires, make offerings and pay tributes.
