    📖 Commentary of Surah Az-Zumar – Verse 30

    "Surely, you shall die [78], and surely they shall also die [79]."

    ✅ [78] The Mortality of the Prophet ﷺ

    This statement was revealed to the Holy Prophet ﷺ, affirming that even he, despite his elevated status, will taste death. However, this death is momentary, not eternal.

    The Qur'an clarifies regarding martyrs: "They are alive, but you are unaware" (Surah Al-Baqarah: Verse 154). Similarly, the life of the Prophet ﷺ after departing from the worldly realm is a special life granted by Allah—not like ordinary death.

    ✅ [79] The Nature of Death for All

    Death occurs in two ways:

    1. Separation of the soul from the body (which happens to all).

    2. Cessation of the soul's function within the body, ending its physical influence (which happens to most people).

    The Prophets experience only the first type. Their souls leave their bodies, so rituals like kafan and burial are performed,
    but their spiritual connection remains active. Their bodies do not decay, and they hear greetings, recognize visitors, and even intercede or assist by Allah’s will.

    This verse reminds us of the universal law of death but subtly hints at the distinction of Prophets in the unseen realm.

     

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah Az-Zumar verse 30 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Zumar ayat 27 which provides the complete commentary from verse 27 through 31.

    (39:30) (O Prophet), you are destined to die and they too are destined to die.[51]

    Ala-Maududi

    (39:30) (O Prophet), you are destined to die and they too are destined to die.[51]

    51. There is a subtle gap between the preceding sentence and this, which can be filled by every intelligent person himself by a little consideration of the context. It contains this theme: You are making every effort to make the people understand a simple thing in a simple way, but they are not only showing stubbornness with regard to what you say and rejecting it but are also bent upon harming you in order to suppress the manifest truth. Well, neither you are immortal nor they. Both you and they have to die one day. then, each of you will experience his own end.

    (30) Indeed, you are to die, and indeed, they are to die.
