Surah Az-Zukhruf Ayat 59 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

103. This means they are neither gods nor sons of Allah Almighty. They are indeed sincere servants of Allah Almighty. This is for the purpose of restriction of divinity, otherwise there are many other attributes found in them. Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace) is spirit of Allah, word of Allah, the Messenger of Allah, a Prophet to whom Divine Scripture was revealed and the giver of prophecy about our Holy Prophet. In this verse there is a refutation of the Christians who regard Isa (On whom be peace) as God or the son of God, as well as that of the Jews who reject his Prophethood. From this we learn that to support and praise the pious sages is the way of Allah Almighty. Furthermore, even if any person were to accept these sages of God or the son of God, then in refuting them do not insult them, but preserve his lofty status.
104. By His absolute power, by creating them without a father and honoured them with Prophethood.

Ibn-Kathir

Please refer to Surah Zukhruf ayat 57 which provides the complete commentary from verse 57 through 65.

(43:59) He was no more than a servant (of Ours), one upon whom We bestowed Our favours and whom We made an example (of Our infinite power) for the Children of Israel.[53]

53. “We made him an example” implies causing the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) to be born without a father, and then granting him such miracles as had not been granted to anyone before him nor to anyone after him. He would make a bird of clay and then breathe into it and it would become a living bird; he would give sight to those born blind; he would cure the lepers; so much so that he would raise the dead back to life. What Allah means to say is: It is wrong to worship him as son of God and regard him as above servitude only because of his extraordinary birth and the great miracles granted to him. He was no more than a mere servant, whom We had blessed and made an example of Our power. For details, see (Surah Aal-Imran, Ayat 42-49, 59); (Surah An-Nisa, Ayat 156); (Surah Al-Maidah, Ayat 17,110); (Surah Maryam, Ayat 17-35); (Surah Al-Anbiya, Ayat 91); (Surah Al-Muminun, Ayat 50).
