Surah At-Tur Ayat 30 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

36. Here, poet does not denote the common poets of today, i.e. the composer of verses in metrical form, because the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم never composed verses Instead, the word poet denotes those reprobate novelists who compose verses and describe them to look true. Says Allah Almighty: "And We have not taught him to compose verses, and nor is it befitting to his dignity"(S36: V69).

37. Just as the names of the previous poets had been removed from the world, after the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم name, too, would be forgotten (Allah forbid). He is such a true sun, that whomever his ray fall on, they gain eternal life. Observe, the immortality gained by Hajrat Gause Paak and Hajrat Imam Husain (May Allah be pleased with them)

(52:30) Or do they say: “He is a poet for whom we await an adverse turn of fortune.”[23]

23. That is, we are waiting for him to be afflicted with calamity so that we get rid of him. Probably they thought that since Muhammad (peace be upon him) was opposing their deities and denying their supernatural powers, he would fall under the curse of some deity, or some bold devotee of a god would put an end to him.
