Quran 71 Verse 13 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Nuh ayat 13, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(71:13) What is amiss with you that you do not look forward to the majesty of Allah[13]
13. It means: as for the petty chiefs of the world, you think it would be dangerous to do anything against their dignity, but as for the Creator and Lord of the universe, you do not expect that He would also be a Being endowed with dignity. You rebel against Him, associate others in His Divinity, disobey His commands, and yet you are not at all afraid that He would punish you for your misconduct.
Ibn-Kathir
The tafsir of Surah Nuh verse 13 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
