Surah At-Takweer Ayat 29 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

24. This means you can never love anything without the wish of Allah Almighty. Your desires and intentions are subservient to the wishes and intentions of Allah Almighty. It should be remembered that there is a big difference between intention, will and order.

25. From this verse emerge a few issues:

1. A human being has a free will in matters within his power as is understood from the qualifying statement of "Only this that Allah desires."

2. Man's authority is not permanent but it is subservient to Allah Almighty's wishes.

3. Every affair of the world is in accordance with the wishes and intention of Allah Almighty but not in accordance with His command and liking.

4. Allah Almighty states the intention of every work of man but he does not incline him or give him bad advice towards doing evil deeds. In fact, He stops him from doing evil. The desire for doing evil deeds is encouraged by Iblees.
