📖 Commentary of Surah Hud – Verse 21

"These are they who put their souls in loss. And the things which they used to fabricate have been lost from them [51]."

✅ [51] The Loss of Fabricated Beliefs

This verse refers to the disbelievers who worshipped idols and believed in their divinity and ability to intercede on their behalf. However, on the Day of Judgment, these fabricated beliefs will be rendered void, as the idols and their intercession will prove to be powerless and non-existent. Their faith in these false deities will result in the ultimate loss of their souls.

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Hud verse 21 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Hud ayat 18 which provides the complete commentary from verse 18 through 22.

(11:21) They caused utter loss to themselves, and all that they had invented failed them.[26]

Ala-Maududi

(11:21) They caused utter loss to themselves, and all that they had invented failed them.[26]


26. All their conjectures regarding God, the universe and their own selves will prove to be absolutely baseless in the next life. Similarly, the notions they entertained about the help and support they would receive from those they considered to be either their deities, or their intercessors with God, or their patrons will prove to be false. Likewise, it will become obvious that all their notions about the Afterlife were utterly untrue.

(21) Those are the ones who will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.
