Quran 82 Verse 5 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Al-Infitar ayat 5, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(82:5) everyone shall know all his deeds, both the earlier and the later.[3]
3. The words ma qaddamat wa akhkharat can have several meanings and all are implied here:
(1) Ma qaddamat is the good or evil act which man has sent forward, and ma akhkharat is what he refrained from doing. Thus, these Arabic words correspond to the acts of commission and omission in one’s life.
(2) Ma qaddamat is what one did earlier and ma akhkharat what one did later; i.e. the whole life-work of man will appear before him date-wise and in proper sequence.
(3) Whatever good and evil deeds a man did in his life is ma qaddamat and whatever effects and influences of his acts he left behind for human society is ma akhkharat.
