Surah Ghafir Ayat 55 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

139 He will most certainly make your religion dominant over all the religions. Allah Almighty fulfilled this promise

140 Here. the link to the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم is not one of the wages Or, this link is based on responsibility like the attorney states that this is the case.

141. By 'morning and evening' is meant at all times. Says Allah Almighty: "And for them, there is their provision morning evening"(S19:V62) i.e. the inmates of Paradise will be given their provisions every morning and evening. This means, either at all times or it could denote the five daily prayers, or the azkaar recited during the morning and evening because, at that point in time, the angels of morning and evening assemble.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Muminun verse 55 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 51 which provides the complete commentary from verse 51 through 56.

(40:55) Be steadfast,[71] then, (O Prophet), Allah’s promise is true.[72] Seek forgiveness for your shortcomings,[73] and celebrate the praise of your Lord, evening and morning.[74]

71. “Have patience”: Bear up with a cool mind against these hardships through which you are passing.

72. The allusion is to the promise made above in the sentence: We do help Our Messengers and the believers in the life of this world.

73. A study of the context shows that here “sin” implies the state of impatience that was being caused to the Prophet (peace be upon him) on account of the severe antagonism, especially the persecution of his followers. He earnestly desired that either some miracle should be shown, which should convince the disbelievers or something else should soon come down from Allah, which should quell the storm of opposition. Though this desire in itself was not a sin, which should have called for repentance, the high rank with which Allah had blessed the Prophet (peace be upon him) demanded great grit and will power; so the little impatience shown by him was regarded as inconsistent with his high rank. Therefore, he was required to ask Allah’s forgiveness for showing the weakness and was told to hold his ground like a rock as a man of a high rank like him should.

74. That is, Glorification of Allah with His praises is the only means by which those who work for the sake of Allah can get the strength to resist and overcome the hardships faced in the way of Allah. Glorifying the Lord morning and evening can have two meanings:

(1) Remembering Allah constantly and perpetually.

(2) Performing the Prayers at the specific times.

And in this second case, the allusion is to the five times of the Prayers, which were enjoined on all the believers as a duty some time after the revelation of this Surah. For the word ashiyy in Arabic is used for the time from the declining of the sun till the early part of nigh, which covers the times of the four Prayers from Zuhr to Isha, and ibkar is the time from dawn to the rising of the sun, which is the time of the Fajr Prayer. For further details, see (Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat 3, 43, 45, 238); (Surah Houd, Ayat 114); (Surah Al-Hijr, Ayat 98-99); Introduction to (Surah Bani Israil, Ayat 78-79); (Surah TaHa, Ayat 130); (Surah An-Noor, Ayat 56-58); (Surah Al-Ankabut, Ayat 45); (Surah Ar-Rum, Ayat 17-18), (Surah Ar-Rum, Ayat 31) and the E.Ns thereof.
