Surah Ta-Ha Ayat 59 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

70. By this concourse is meant the special fair organized by the people of the Pharaoh where everyone would gather to decorate the place and celebrate the joyous occasion. From this we learn that at the time of religious necessity it is permissible for the believers to go to the fair of the infidels, as Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) went to the fair of the infidels for the sake of confrontation. Hazrat Ibrahim (On whom be peace) had gone to the temple to break the idols.

71. This means let there be proclamation about this confrontation in the entire locality. The time for this debate should be mid-morning so that there is sufficient light for the people to behold this actual incident without any doubt in their minds. It should be remembered that the Arabic language has different names to denote the different times of the day: eg. FAJR (daybreak): SABAH (early morning); GHADAH (approaching dawn); BUKRAH (early morning); DOHA (lunch time); ZAHEERA (midday)

DAHWAH (after lunch time); MASAH (approaching evening); RAWAH (siesta time). ASR (late afternoon); ASEEL (evening - close of day); HAJIRA (meridian), ESHA OOLA (early night) and ESHA AKHIRAH (late night) (Tafseer Roohul Bayaan, etc).

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Ta-Ha verse 59 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Taha ayat 57 which provides the complete commentary from verse 57 through 59.

(20:59) Moses said: “The appointment to meet you is on the Day of the Feast and let all people come together before noon.”[31]

31. The object of Pharaoh was this: Once the sorcerers are able to transform the staffs and ropes into serpents, the entire effect of the miracle performed by Moses (peace be upon him) would disappear from the people’s minds. That was exactly to Moses’ (peace be upon him) advantage, who suggested that it was no good fixing an ordinary day or place for the purpose. The Day of the Feast was at hand. People would flock on that occasion from all corners of the empire. Therefore, the encounter should be held in the open so that all might witness it, and in the day time so that everyone should be able to see it clearly.
