Quran 27 Verse 63 Explanation

For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah An-Naml ayat 63, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.

Ala-Maududi

(27:63) Who is it Who guides you through the darkness on land and sea?[78] And Who sends winds as heralds of good tidings ahead of His Mercy?[79] Is there any god associated with Allah (in this task)? Exalted be Allah above whatever they associate with Him in His Divinity!


78. That is, “He has made such arrangements by means of the stars that you can find your way even in the darkness of the night.” This is also because of the wise planning of Allah that He has created such means by which man can determine his direction and the way to his destination in his journeys by sea and land. In the day time he is guided by different land-marks and the direction of sunrise and sunset, and in the dark nights by the stars. In Surah An-Nahl this has been counted among the bounties of Allah: “He has placed land-marks to direct people, and by the stars, too, they are guided aright.” (Surah An-Nahl, ayat 16).

79. “His mercy” the rain whose coming is promptly foretold by the winds.

Ibn-Kathir

63. Is not He Who guides you in the darkness of the land and the sea, and Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy Is there any god with Allah Exalted be Allah above all that they associate as partners!) Allah says,


﴿أَمَّن يَهْدِيكُمْ فِى ظُلُمَـتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ﴾

(Is not He Who guides you in the darkness of the land and the sea,) meaning, by means of what He has created of heavenly and earthly signposts. This is like the Ayah,

﴿وَعَلامَـتٍ وَبِالنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ ﴾

(And landmarks and by the stars, they guide themselves.) (16:16)

﴿وَهُوَ الَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ النُّجُومَ لِتَهْتَدُواْ بِهَا فِى ظُلُمَـتِ الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ﴾

(It is He Who has set the stars for you, so that you may guide your course with their help through the darkness of the land and the sea…) (6:97)

﴿وَمَن يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ بُشْرًاَ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِ﴾

(and Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy) meaning, ahead of the clouds which bring rain, by means of which Allah shows His mercy to His servants who are suffering drought and despair.

﴿أَءِلَـهٌ مَّعَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى اللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ﴾

(Is there any god with Allah Exalted be Allah above all that they associate as partners!)
