Quran 44 Verse 39 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Dukhan ayat 39, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(44:39) We did not create them except in Truth. But most of them do not know.[34]


34. This is the second answer to their objection; it means: Whoever denies life after death and the rewards and punishments of the hereafter, in fact, regards this world as a plaything. This is why he has formed the view that man, after raising all sorts of the storms in the world, will end up in the dust one day and none of his good or bad acts will bear any fruit. The fact, however, is that this universe is the creation of an All-Wise Creator and not of a frivolous being, and it cannot be expected from an All-Wise Creator that he would perform a useless and vain act. For a detailed explanation, see (Surah Al-Anaam, Ayat 73); (Surah Younus, Ayat 5-6); (Surah Al-Anbiya, Ayat 16-18); (Surah Al-Muminun, Ayat 115); (Surah Ar-Room, Ayat 8-9) and the corresponding E.Ns.
