Surah Ta-Ha Ayat 20 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

21. This means the stick, in size, became like a huge python, but in speed it became like a thin snake. Allah Almighty says: "It at once became a serpent manifest" (S7:V107). It is further said: "As if it were a snake" (S27:V10). Thus, there is no inconsistency in the verses.
