Tafsir

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

An-Naml 27:64

Word by word

أَمَّن يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَمَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ أَءِلَـٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَـٰنَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Is He [not best] who begins creation and then repeats it and who provides for you from the heaven and earth? Is there a deity with Allāh? Say, "Produce your proof, if you should be truthful."

Ibn Kathir (Abridged)

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

إِنَّ بَطْشَ رَبِّكَ لَشَدِيدٌ - إِنَّهُ هُوَ يُبْدِىءُ وَيُعِيدُ (Verily, the punishment of your Lord is severe and painful. Verily, He it is Who begins and repeats.) (85:12-13)وَهُوَ الَّذِى يَبْدَأُ الْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ وَهُوَ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيْهِ(And He it is Who originates the creation, then He will repeat it; and this is easier for Him.) (30:27)وَمَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ والاٌّرْضِ(and Who provides for you from heaven and earth) with the rain He sends down from the sky causing the blessings of the earth to grow, as He says elsewhere:وَالسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ - وَالاّرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ (By the sky which gives rain, again and again. And the earth which splits.) (86:11-12)يَعْلَمُ مَا يَلْجُ فِى الاٌّرْضِ وَمَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَمَا يَنزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ وَمَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا(He knows that which goes into the earth and that which comes forth from it, and that which descends from the heaven and that which ascends to it) (34:2).

Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, sends down water from the sky as a blessing, and causes it to penetrate the earth, and then come forth as springs. After that, by means of the water He brings forth all kinds of crops, fruits and flowers, in all their different forms and colors.كُلُواْ وَارْعَوْا أَنْعَـمَكُمْ إِنَّ فِى ذلِكَ لأيَـتٍ لاٌّوْلِى النُّهَى (Eat and pasture your cattle; verily, in this are signs for men of understanding) (20:54). Allah says:أَإِلَـهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ(Is there any god with Allah) meaning, who did this Or, according to another interpretation: after this (who could be worth worship)قُلْ هَاتُواْ بُرْهَـنَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـدِقِينَ(Say: "Bring forth your proofs, if you are truthful.") Produce the evidence of that. But it is known that they have no proof or evidence, as Allah says:وَمَن يَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَـهَا ءَاخَرَ لاَ بُرْهَانَ لَهُ بِهِ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُفْلِحُ الْكَـفِرُونَ (And whoever invokes besides Allah, any other god, of whom he has no proof; then his reckoning is only with his Lord.

Surely, the disbelievers will not be successful.) (23:117)

Ma'arif al-Qur'an

Mufti Muhammad Shafi

Commentaryقُل لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَن فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْ‌ضِ الْغَيْبَ إِلَّا اللَّـهُSay, "No one in the heavens and the earth has the knowledge of Unseen except Allah." - 27:65The Holy Prophet ﷺ was instructed to tell people that all the creatures that live in the heavens, like angels, and all the creatures that live in this world, like humans and jinns, none of them have any knowledge of the unseen (ghayb) except Allah. In the above-referred verse it has been stated very clearly that it is an exclusive attribute of Allah Ta` ala, and no one else, not even an angel or a prophet, could share this attribute. This subject has been dealt with in detail under verse No. 59 of Surah al-'am on page No.360 in the 3rd volume. In addition to that, I have written a separate treatise on the subject under the title (کشف الریب عن علم الغیب) which has been published in my book Ahkam-ul Qur'an in arabic. Those who are interested in this subject can refer to that.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

واسألهم من الذي ينشئ الخلق ثم يفنيه إذا شاء، ثم يعيده، ومَن الذي يرزقكم من السماء بإنزال المطر، ومن الأرض بإنبات الزرع وغيره؟ أمعبود سوى الله يفعل ذلك؟ قل: هاتوا حجتكم إن كنتم صادقين في زعمكم أن لله تعالى شريكًا في ملكه وعبادته.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

أي : هو الذي بقدرته وسلطانه يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده ، كما قال تعالى في الآية الأخرى : ( إن بطش ربك لشديد إنه هو يبدئ ويعيد ) [ البروج : 12 ، 13 ] ، وقال ( وهو الذي يبدأ الخلق ثم يعيده وهو أهون عليه ) [ الروم : 27 ] .( ومن يرزقكم من السماء والأرض ) أي : بما ينزل من مطر السماء ، وينبت من بركات الأرض ، كما قال : ( والسماء ذات الرجع . والأرض ذات الصدع ) [ الطارق : 11 ، 12 ] ، وقال ( يعلم ما يلج في الأرض وما يخرج منها وما ينزل من السماء وما يعرج فيها ) [ الحديد : 4 ] ، فهو ، تبارك وتعالى ، ينزل من السماء ماء مباركا فيسكنه في الأرض ، ثم يخرج به [ منها ] أنواع الزروع والثمار والأزاهير ، وغير ذلك من ألوان شتى ، ( كلوا وارعوا أنعامكم إن في ذلك لآيات لأولي النهى ) [ طه : 54 ] ; ولهذا قال : ( أإله مع الله ) أي : فعل هذا . وعلى القول الآخر : يعبد ؟ ( قل هاتوا برهانكم ) على صحة ما تدعونه من عبادة آلهة أخرى ، ( إن كنتم صادقين ) في ذلك ، وقد علم أنه لا حجة لهم ولا برهان ، كما قال [ الله ] : ( ومن يدع مع الله إلها آخر لا برهان له به فإنما حسابه عند ربه إنه لا يفلح الكافرون ) [ المؤمنون : 117 ] .
