Surah An-Nisa Ayat 118 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

360. From this emerge three issues:

1. Taqiyya (Pious fraud) is such a terrible curse that even the devil did not display profane piety, extensive knowledge and powers that he knows every device to deceive people, this has placed him in a position to recognise every one.
2. Even the devil regards the Prophets of Allah Almighty and the Saints of Allah Almighty as

in front of Allah Almighty which is what he should have done, but he spoke openly.

 3. Allah Almighty has given the devil such recognition who safeguarded them from his deception, Hence, he referred to them as "Your bondmen ''. For this reason, those who regard Prophets and Saints as sinners are worse than the devil.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Nisa verse 118 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Nisa ayat 116 which provides the complete commentary from verse 116 through 122.

(4:118) upon whom Allah has laid His curse. He said (to Allah): ‘I will take to myself an appointed portion of Your servants[146]

Ala-Maududi

(4:118) upon whom Allah has laid His curse. He said (to Allah): ‘I will take to myself an appointed portion of Your servants[146]


146. This shows that Satan is determined to lay his claim to a portion of men’s time, to their effort and labour, to their energies and capacities, to their material belongings, and to their offspring, and would somehow trick them into devoting a sizeable portion of all these in his cause.
