Tafsir

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

Az-Zumar 39:42

Word by word

ٱللَّهُ يَتَوَفَّى ٱلْأَنفُسَ حِينَ مَوْتِهَا وَٱلَّتِى لَمْ تَمُتْ فِى مَنَامِهَا ۖ فَيُمْسِكُ ٱلَّتِى قَضَىٰ عَلَيْهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ وَيُرْسِلُ ٱلْأُخْرَىٰٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَـٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Allāh takes the souls at the time of their death, and those that do not die [He takes] during their sleep. Then He keeps those for which He has decreed death and releases the others for a specified term. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

Tafsir Muyassar

Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Saudi Arabia

الله -سبحانه وتعالى- هو الذي يقبض الأنفس حين موتها، وهذه الوفاة الكبرى، وفاة الموت بانقضاء الأجل، ويقبض التي لم تمت في منامها، وهي الموتة الصغرى، فيحبس من هاتين النفسين النفس التي قضى عليها الموت، وهي نفس مَن مات، ويرسل النفس الأخرى إلى استكمال أجلها ورزقها، وذلك بإعادتها إلى جسم صاحبها، إن في قبض الله نفس الميت والنائم وإرساله نفس النائم، وحبسه نفس الميت لَدلائل واضحة على قدرة الله لمن تفكر وتدبر.
