Quran 26 Verse 22 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Ash-Shu’ara ayat 22, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(26:22) Now this is the favour that you tauntingly remind me of: that you enslaved the Children of Israel!”[18]
18. That is, if you had not been unjust and cruel to the Israelites. I should not have been brought to your house for upbringing. It was only on account of your barbarism that my mother put me in a basket and cast it into the river. Had it not been so, I should have been happily brought up in my own house. Therefore, it does not behoove you to remind me of your favor of bringing me up in your house.
