Surah An-Nisa Ayat 125 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

373. Although the literal meaning of the word "Face" is one's full countenance, but in this context it is used to indicate to one's person. Because submitting oneself to anyone is equal to handing over oneself to him.
374.By, this is meant a person should do good deeds.

From it two issues emerge:

1.  After accepting faith a person does not become free from doing good deeds, he must endeavour to do good deeds, to the best of his ability.

2. Faith precedes good deeds, Hence, the benefactor is mentioned after "submits his face".

375.From this, we learn that in order to obey Allah Almighty it is incumbent to follow the Religion of Hazrat Ebrahim (On whom be peace) which is now found in the Religion of Hazrat Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم charitable deeds will be of any avail by turning away from it. Once the root is cut off it is useless watering the branches.
 

376. The meaning of KHULLAT is to cut off all connections from unrelated persons. It is presently used to indicate friendship in which connection is cut off from all unrelated persons of the friend KHALEEL Allah Almighty's friend is one who seeks the pleasure of, Almighty Allah MEHBOOB and HABEEB is one whose pleasure is sought by Allah Almighty. Our Holy Prophet is both KHALEEL AND HABEEB. Says Allah Almighty: "And undoubtedly soon your Lord shall give you so much that you shall be satisfied." (S93-V5)
