Quran 46 Verse 16 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Ahqaf ayat 16, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(46:16) Such are those from whom We accept their best deeds and whose evil deeds We overlook.[21] They will be among the people of Paradise in consonance with the true promise made to them.
21. That is, their ranks in the Hereafter will be determined by the best deeds they would have done in the world, and their lapses and weaknesses and errors will be overlooked. It is just like a generous and appreciative master who determines the worth of his loyal and obedient servant not by the petty services that he renders but by some work of merit that he might accomplish or a feat of devotion and dedication that he might perform. He will not call his servant to account for his minor shortcomings and overlook his major services.
