Quran 40 Verse 65 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Ghafir ayat 65, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(40:65) He is the Ever-Living:[92] there is no god but He. So call upon Him, consecrating to Him all your devotion.[93] All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of the whole Universe.[94]


92. That is, His is the real and true life. He only is living by virtue of His own power. No one else has the eternal and everlasting lift but Him. All others have borrowed and temporary life, which is destined to death and perishable.

93. For explanation, see (Surah Az-Zumar, ayat 2-3) note 3-4.

94. That is, there is none else the hymns of whose praise may be sung and who may be thanked.
