Quran 7 Verse 102 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Al-A’raf ayat 102, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(7:102) We did not find most of them true to their covenants; indeed We found most of them to he transgressors. [82]


82. The statement that ‘We did not find most of them true to their covenants’ signifies the general propensity of people not to honour their commitments. They are neither faithful to the primordial covenant which they made with God see (al-A’raf 7: 172) which is binding on every mortal as God’s servant and creature, nor faithful to the collective covenant which is binding on every human being as a member of the human fraternity. Nor are men generally faithful to the commitments which they make to God in hours of distress or in moments when their moral instincts are awake and astir. Violation of any of these covenants has been termed fisq (transgression).
