📖 Commentary of Surah Az-Zukhruf – Verse 42

"Or, We show [73] you that We promised them, for We have full power over them."

✅ [73] The Prophet Witnessing Divine Justice

This verse offers two possibilities: either the punishment of the disbelievers will occur after the Prophet’s departure, or he will witness it during his lifetime. Both are within Allah’s authority. The verse also subtly affirms the spiritual vision of the Prophet ﷺ—even after his passing, he remains aware of worldly events, as supported by classical scholars. Books like Jaa-al-Haq explain how the Prophet views the world as clearly as his own palm.

During Mi'raaj and the Farewell Pilgrimage, it is mentioned that previous Prophets were presented before him, further signifying his elevated spiritual rank. Thus, Allah has complete control to fulfill His promises in whatever way He wills, and the Prophet ﷺ remains connected to the unfolding of divine decrees.

Ibn-Kathir

Please refer to Surah Zukhruf ayat 36 which provides the complete commentary from verse 36 through 45.

(43:42) or make you see the end that We had promised them, for We have full power over them.[37]

Ala-Maududi

(43:42) or make you see the end that We had promised them, for We have full power over them.[37]


37. This thing can be understood fully only by keeping in view the background in which it was said. The disbelievers of Makkah thought that the person of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had become a source of trouble for them. If they could somehow get rid of him, matters would become normal. On the basis of this evil thought they were holding consultations day and night and planning to kill him. At this, Allah addresses His Prophet (peace be upon him) so as to tell them indirectly: It doesn’t make any difference whether you remain among them or not. If you live, you will see them meet their doom with your own eyes. If you are recalled from the world, they will be sent to their doom in your absence, because they cannot in any case escape the consequences of their misdeeds.

(42) Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability.
