📖 Commentary of Surah Ibrahim – Verse 14

And We will surely make you dwell in the land [36] after them. This is for those who fear standing before Me [37] and fear My warning.

✅ [36] Ownership of Land and Divine Justice

It is reported in the Hadith Shareef that he who causes discomfort to his neighbour, Allah Almighty would make the oppressed person the owner of the oppressor’s home.

It should be remembered that any land on which Divine punishment descends becomes forbidden for the believers to reside in.

Thus, the meaning of the verse is not that the land on which Divine punishment would descend would be given for your dwelling. Rather, the concept is symbolic of justice and eventual victory for the oppressed.

✅ [37] Principle of Succession and Divine Favor

This means that the infidels will be destroyed, and the believers will become masters of their territory.

This is not restricted only to the followers of the mentioned Prophets but is a universal principle that continues until the Day of Judgement—that the evil-doers shall be removed and the pious shall be established in their place as rightful stewards.

Please refer to Surah Ibrahim ayat 13 which provides the complete commentary from verse 13 through 17.

(14:14) and will then cause you to settle in the land[23] as their successors. That is the reward for him who fears to stand for reckoning and holds My threat in awe.”

Ala-Maududi

(14:14) and will then cause you to settle in the land[23] as their successors. That is the reward for him who fears to stand for reckoning and holds My threat in awe.”


23. This was to reassure the Prophets that they should not worry at all about the threat that the disbelievers would banish them from their country, as if to say: We will uproot them from their land, and establish you and your followers firmly in their place.

(14) And We will surely cause you to dwell in the land after them. That is for he who fears My position[652] and fears My threat."

[652]- An alternative meaning is "the standing [for account] before Me."
