Quran 23 Verse 75 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Mu’minun ayat 75, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(23:75) Were We to be merciful to them and remove from them their present afflictions, they would persist in their transgression, blindly wandering on.[72]
72. The affliction alluded to in this verse was the famine which occurred in Makkah some time after the advent of Prophethood. According to Abdullah bin Masud, when the Quraish persistently refused to accept the invitation of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and started putting up stiff resistance, he prayed: O Allah, help me against them with a seven year famine like the seven year famine of the time of Prophet Joseph. So a severe famine started in Makkah with the result that people were obliged to eat carrion. This famine has been alluded to in a number of Makki Surahs. For instance see (Surah Al-Anaam, Ayat 42-44); (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 94-99); (Surah Yunus, Ayat 11-12), (Surah Yunus, Ayat 21); (Surah An-Nahl, Ayat 112-113) and (Surah Ad-Dukhan, Ayat 10-16) along with the relevant E.Ns.
