Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Al-Kahf 18:21

Word by word

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَآ إِذْ يَتَنَـٰزَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ ۖ فَقَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ عَلَيْهِم بُنْيَـٰنًا ۖ رَّبُّهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ ۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا۟ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِم مَّسْجِدًا

And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allāh is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

وكما أنمناهم سنين كثيرة، وأيقظناهم بعدها، أطْلَعنا عليهم أهل ذلك الزمان، بعد أن كشف البائع نوع الدراهم التي جاء بها مبعوثهم؛ ليعلم الناس أنَّ وَعْدَ الله بالبعث حق، وأن القيامة آتية لا شك فيها، إذ يتنازع المطَّلِعون على أصحاب الكهف في أمر القيامة: فمِن مُثْبِتٍ لها ومِن مُنْكِر، فجعل الله إطْلاعهم على أصحاب الكهف حجة للمؤمنين على الكافرين. وبعد أن انكشف أمرهم، وماتوا قال فريق من المطَّلِعين عليهم: ابنوا على باب الكهف بناءً يحجبهم، واتركوهم وشأنهم، ربهم أعلم بحالهم، وقال أصحاب الكلمة والنفوذ فيهم: لنتخذنَّ على مكانهم مسجدًا للعبادة. وقد نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن اتخاذ قبور الأنبياء والصالحين مساجد، ولعن مَن فَعَلَ ذلك في آخر وصاياه لأمته، كما أنه نهى عن البناء على القبور مطلقًا، وعن تجصيصها والكتابة عليها؛ لأن ذلك من الغلو الذي قد يؤدي إلى عبادة مَن فيها.
