Quran 29 Verse 29 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Ankabut ayat 29, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(29:29) What! Do you go to men[51] (to satisfy your lust), engage in highway robbery, and commit evil deeds in your gatherings?”[52] Then they had no answer to offer other than to say: “Bring Allah’s chastisement upon us if you are truthful.”


51. That is, “You satisfy your sex desire with the males.” As stated in (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayat 81), “you gratify your lust with men instead of women.”

52. That is, “You do not even hide yourself when you commit this filthy act, but commit it openly in your assemblies, in front of others.” The same has been stated in (Surah An-Naml, Ayat 54), thus: “Do you commit the indecency while you see it?”
