Quran 23 Verse 115 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Mu’minun ayat 115, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(23:115) Did you imagine that We created you without any purpose,[102] and that you will not be brought back to Us?”
102. The Arabic word abathan in the text also means “for the sake of sport”. Then the verse will mean: Did you think that We had created you merely for the sake of sport and there was no purpose behind your creation? Therefore you may eat, drink, be merry and enjoy yourself as you please.
