Quran 79 Verse 16 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Nazi’at ayat 16, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(79:16) When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,[7]
7. According to general opinion among the commentators the sacred valley of Tuwa means the sacred valley which was named Tuwa. But, besides this, two other meanings of it also have been given:
(1) The valley that was blessed and made sacred twice, for it was first made sacred when Allah spoke to Moses (peace be upon him) in it for the first time, and it was blessed and made sacred for the second time when the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) led the children of Israel out of Egypt and brought them into it.
(2) Called out to him in the sacred valley in the night, and this is according to the meaning of tuwa in the Arabic idiom.
