Surah Ash-Shuara Ayat 127 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

128. This means no one asks for a salary for propagating the Religion of Allah Almighty. Thus, if a Prophet accepts payment for any other thing it would not be going against this.

From this, we learn that it is prohibited for a person to seek payment for a thing which is obligatory upon him. Many religious laws are arranged on this principle. To give a salary to a religious scholar for the purpose of Imamat is permissible because this responsibility which he is performing is not obligatory upon him. However, he cannot take payment for expounding a religious issue. 

129. Because He who has sent me for conveying this message will reward me for it.
