Surah As-Sajdah Ayat 17 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

37. The Holy Prophet is not included in this, because on the Night of Me'raaj he had seen the entire Paradise. In this is included people like us. By knowledge is denoted entire knowledge and its details, because through the blessing of the Holy Prophet we have some knowledge of the bounties of Paradise, though in an abridged form, which we believe. In short, neither does this verse negate the knowledge of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم nor rejection of our faith, i.e. no believer has full knowledge of these bounties in their entirety.

38. Here mention is being made of Paradise earned through one's own eflorts, which Allah Almighty will be granting through one's good deeds. The bestowed and granted Paradise is mentioned in other verses Thus, from this it does not necessarily mean that the minor children of the believers, or those who did not get an opportunity of doing good deeds will not go to Paradise, or that the sinful believers will not enter Paradise In short, there is no inconsistency in the verses .

Please refer to Surah Sajdah ayat 15 which provides the complete commentary from verse 15 through 17.

(32:17) No one knows what delights of the eyes are kept hidden for them as a reward for their deeds.[29]

29. Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi and Imam Ahmad have in different ways cited on the authority of Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Allah says: I have made ready for My righteous servants that which has neither been seen by the eye, nor heard by the ear, nor ever conceived by any man.” The same thing has been reported with a little difference in wording by Abu Said Khudri, Mughirah bin Shubah and Sahl bin Saad asSaidi from the Prophet (peace be upon him) and related with authentic links by Muslim. Ahmed, Ibn Jarir and Tirmidhi.
