Quran 19 Verse 17 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Maryam ayat 17, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(19:17) and drew a curtain, screening herself from people[14] whereupon We sent to her Our spirit and he appeared to her as a well-shaped man.
14. The Sanctuary where she had retired for devotion was an eastern chamber in the Temple, and as was customary she had hung a curtain to conceal herself from the people. It cannot be Nazareth as some people have wrongly taken it to be, because Nazareth is to the north of Jerusalem.
