Quran 51 Verse 16 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Dhariyat ayat 16, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(51:16) joyously receiving what their Lord will have granted them.[14] Verily they did good works before (the coming of this Day):


14. Literally: “Receiving what their Lord has given them”, but in this context receiving does not merely mean to receive but to receive joyfully. Obviously, when a person is given something of his own choice and liking, his receiving it will naturally have the meaning of accepting and receiving it joyfully.

Ibn-Kathir
