وَمَا يَتَّبِعُ أَكۡثَرُهُمۡ إِلَّا ظَنًّاۚ إِنَّ ٱلظَّنَّ لَا يُغۡنِي مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّ شَيۡـًٔاۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا يَفۡعَلُونَ

Transliteration:( Wa maa yattabi'u aksaruhum illaa zannaa; innaz zanna laa yughnee minal haqqi shai'aa; innal laaha 'Aleemun bimaa yaf'aloon )

36. And most of them follow only conjecture (107). Surely conjecture avails nothing against truth (108). No doubt, Allah knows their work (109).

Surah Yunus Ayat 36 Tafsir (Commentry)



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

107. This means the polytheists have no proof to substantiate their idol worshipping. They are only engaged in it because their forefathers were engaged in this practice. This tells that an infidel is not of his religion. Here most is used in order to show that these were some polytheists who were fully certain

that they were false and that Islam was a true Religion. They were merely afraid of declaring this because they wanted to continue obtaining revenue and honour. Hence there is no inconsistency in the verse. 

108. From this we learn that our personal conjecture in opposition to Prophetic command is a means of misguidance, while conjecture in accordance with Religious laws, is guidance. Says Allah Almighty: "Why it did not happen when you had heard it that the Muslim men and Muslim women would have thought good of their own people" (S24:V12).

109. Because they are merely complying with conjecture in matters of beliefs although issues. regarding beliefs should be based on certainty whose deduction should be Divine Revelation and not with conjecture.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Yunus verse 36 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Yunus ayat 34 which provides the complete commentary from verse 34 through 36.

(10:36) Most of them only follow conjectures;[44] and surely conjecture can be no substitute for truth. Allah is well aware of whatever they do.

44. It means that neither the authors of religion, nor philosophers, nor law makers based their opinions on knowledge but on mere guesswork and conjecture. Likewise, those who followed these religious or worldly leaders did it on the mere assumption that their authors were great people; therefore they must be right. That was why their forefathers and the common people followed them.
