Quran 51 Verse 44 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Dhariyat ayat 44, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(51:44) But they brazenly disobeyed their Lord’s command, and then a sudden chastisement[41] overtook them while they looked on.
41. Different words have been used for this torment at different places in the Quran. Somewhere it has been called rajafah (a frightful and shocking calamity), somewhere saihah (a crashing and thundering disaster), somewhere taghiyah (a most severe affliction) and here it has been described as saiqah (a calamity that strikes like a thunderbolt). Probably this torment was like an earthquake which was also accompanied by a terrible noise.
