Quran 39 Verse 50 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Zumar ayat 50, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(39:50) Their predecessors also said the same, but their earnings proved of no avail to them,[68]
68. That is, when they were seized for evil-doing, the ability of which they were so proud, did not avail them anything, and this also became known that they were not Allah’s favorites. Evidently, if their earning had been due to their capability and their being favorites with Allah, they would not have been seized for evil-doing at all.
Ibn-Kathir
The tafsir of Surah Az-Zumar verse 50 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
