Each moves on its course to an appointed time. Do (15) you hear? He is the Most Exalted in Power, the Most Forgiving (16).

Surah Az-Zumar Ayat 5 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

13. One who without anyone's help can reflect thousands of wisdoms, what need does He have for children

14. In summer He  lengthens the day by including a portion of the night in it, and in winter He lengthens the night by including a portion of the day in it. 

15. This tells us that the moon and the stars are in motion not the heavens and the earth. These are stationary. Thus the ancient and the modem philosophy is incorrect. 

16. From this, emerge two issues

1. Allah Almighty's mercy and forgivenes has over-powered His wrath and punishment. Therefore. He does not mete out punishment quickly

2. The forgiveness of Allah Almighty is with honour. If He was to forgive millions of culprits it neither harms Him in anyway, nor can anyone question Him about it.

 

Ibn-Kathir

5. He has created the heavens and the earth with truth. He makes the night to go in the day and makes the day to go in the night. And He has subjected the sun and the moon. Each running for an appointed term. Verily, He is the Almighty, the Oft-Forgiving. 6. He created you (all) from a single person; then made from him his wife. And He has sent down for you of An`am eight pairs. He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation in three veils of darkness. Such is Allah your Lord. His is the kingdom. La ilaha illa Huwa. How then are you turned away

Evidence of the Power and Oneness of Allah

Allah tells us that He is the Creator of what is in the heavens and on earth, and what is between them. He is the Sovereign and Controller alternating the night and day.

﴿يُكَوِّرُ الَّيْـلَ عَلَى النَّهَـارِ وَيُكَوِّرُ النَّـهَارَ عَلَى الَّيْلِ﴾

(He makes the night to go in the day and makes the day to go in the night.) means, He has subjugated them and He causes them to alternate without ceasing, each seeking the other rapidly, as He says:

﴿يُغْشِى الَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثًا﴾

(He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly) (7:54). This is the meaning of that which was narrated from Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Mujahid, Qatadah, As-Suddi and others.

﴿وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ يَجْرِى لأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّـى﴾

(And He has subjected the sun and the moon. Each running for an appointed term.) means, for a period of time that is known to Allah, then it will come to an end on the Day of Resurrection.

﴿أَلا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفَّارُ﴾

(Verily, He is the Almighty, the Oft-Forgiving.) means, beside His might, greatness and pride, He is Oft-Forgiving to those who disobey Him but then turn to Him in repentance.

﴿خَلَقَكُمْ مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَحِدَةٍ﴾

(He created you (all) from a single person;) means, He created you, with all your varied races, types, languages and colors, from a single soul, who was Adam, peace be upon him.

﴿ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا﴾

(then made from him his wife.) who was Hawwa’, peace be upon her. This is like the Ayah:

﴿يَـأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُواْ رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِى خَلَقَكُمْ مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالاً كَثِيراً وَنِسَآءً﴾

(O mankind! Have Taqwa of your Lord, Who created you from a single person, and from him He created his wife, and from them both He created many men and women) (4:1).

﴿وَأَنزَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الاٌّنْعَـمِ ثَمَـنِيَةَ أَزْوَجٍ﴾

(And He has sent down for you of cattle eight pairs.) means, He has created for you from among the cattles, eight pairs. These are the ones that are mentioned in Surat Al-An`am, eight kinds — a pair of sheep, a pair of goats, a pair of camels and a pair of oxen.

﴿يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِى بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـتِكُـمْ﴾

(He creates you in the wombs of your mothers,) means, He forms you in your mothers’ wombs.

﴿خَلْقاً مِّن بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ﴾

(creation after creation). Everyone of you is originally a Nutfah, then he becomes an `Alaqah, then he becomes a Mudghah, then he is created and becomes flesh and bones and nerves and veins, and the Ruh (soul) is breathed into him, and he becomes another type of creation.

﴿فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَـلِقِينَ﴾

(So Blessed is Allah, the Best of creators) (23:14).

﴿فِى ظُلُمَـتٍ ثَلَـثٍ﴾

(in three veils of darkness) means, in the darkness of the womb, the darkness of the placenta which blankets and protects the child, and the darkness of the belly. This was the view of Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Abu Malik, Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah, As-Suddi and Ibn Zayd.

﴿ذَلِكُـمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّـكُمْ﴾

(Such is Allah your Lord.) means, the One Who created the heavens and the earth and everything in between, and created you and your forefathers, is the Lord. To Him belong sovereignty and control over all of that.

﴿لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ﴾

(La ilaha illa Huwa.) means, no one else should be worshipped except Him alone with no partner or associate.

﴿فَأَنَّى تُصْرَفُونَ﴾

(How then are you turned away) means, how can you worship anything besides Him What has happened to your minds

(39:5) He created the heavens and the earth with Truth,[10] and He folds up the day over the night and folds up the night over the day. He has subjected the sun and the moon, each is running its course until an appointed time. Lo, He is the Most Mighty, the Most Forgiving.[11]

10. For explanation, see (Surah Ibrahim, Ayat 19); (Surah An-Nahl, Ayat 3); (Surah Al-Ankabut, Ayat 44), and the E.Ns thereof.

11. That is, He is All-Mighty: if He wills to punish you, no power can resist Him. But it is His kindness that He does not seize you forthwith in spite of your arrogant and insolent behavior, but He goes on giving you respite after respite. Here, Allah’s making no haste in seizing people in punishment and His giving them respite has been called forgiveness.
