Surah Saad Ayat 39 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

81. This tells us that Allah Almighty gives to the Prophets and they distribute it among the creation, with the order of Allah Almighty. We further learn that in this distribution they are given total authority.

The Holy Prophet of Allah Almighty gives the bounties and I am the distributor of these bounties. 


82. This tells us that he was from those beloved servants of Allah Almighty upon whom there is no accountability. 

He can spend what he desires and how he desires. He gives to anyone what he likes and in wh quantity he likes. Or, he can withhold the bounty from whomever he wishes. We also learn that Zakaat was not compulsory on those days. As it was not made obligatory upon any Prophet.

The saying of Hazrat Isa (On whom be peace): "An enjoined on me prayer and poor-due Zakaat so long as I live (S19 V31), is for the purpose of purity of the soul.
