Quran 75 Verse 20 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Qiyamah ayat 20, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(75:20) Nay;[14] the truth is that you love ardently (the good of this world) that can be obtained hastily,
14. The theme is again resumed from where it was interrupted by the parenthesis. Nay implies: You deny the Hereafter not because you regard the Creator of the universe as helpless to bring about Resurrection and raise the dead, but because of this and this other reason.
