Surah An-Nur Ayat 37 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

100. In this, there is a hint that women should offer their Salaahs in their homes and the men in the mosques because the word mentioned here with the remembrance of Allah Almighty in the mosque is men. Says Allah Almighty regarding women: "And stay in your homes". (S33: V 33). We further learn those who are caught up with worldly affairs, their worship is greatly liked by Allah Almighty.

101. From this emerge a few issues:

 1. A person should not remain idle, but engage in some business activities.

 2. Among all the business activities of the world, trade is superior, because Allah Almighty has mentioned it specifically. 

3. One should not engage in worldly activities by neglecting the remembrance of Allah Almighty, nor abandon the world or the Religion.

4. Salaah is superior to Zakaat because Allah Almighty has mentioned it before Zakaat.

102. The pious do good deeds as well as fear Allah Almighty concerning their deeds i.e. whether they are accepted or rejected by Him. Also, they take cognizance of the fact that they had not been able to do full justice to their worship. 

103. The heart will shift from its place and get tangled in the throat, and the eyes would burn or burst.
