Quran 53 Verse 47 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Najm ayat 47, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(53:47) and that it is for Him to grant the second life,[42]
42. When this verse is read with the two preceding verses, the sequence by itself seems to provide the argument for the life-after-death also. The God Who has the power to give death and grant life and the God who brings about a creature like man from an insignificant sperm-drop, rather brings about two separate sexes – male and female – from the same substance and by the same method of creation, cannot be helpless to resurrect man once again.
Ibn-Kathir
The tafsir of Surah Tur verse 47 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
