Quran 39 Verse 52 Explanation
For those looking for commentary to help with the understanding of Surah Zumar ayat 52, we’ve provided two Tafseer works below. The first is the tafseer of Abul Ala Maududi, the second is of Ibn Kathir.
Ala-Maududi
(39:52) Do they not know that Allah enlarges and straitens the provision of whomsoever He pleases?[69] Therein are Signs for those that believe.
69. That is, the abundance or restriction of the provisions is based on another law of Allah, which has some other wisdom. The distribution of the provisions does not at all depend on man’s worthiness and ability, or on his being a favorite of Allah, or for being under His wrath. For details, see (Surah At-Taubah, Ayat 55, 69, 85); (Surah Younus, Ayat 17); (Surah Hud, Ayat 3), (Surah Hud, Ayat 27); (Surah Ar-Raad, Ayat 26); (Surah Al-Kahf, Ayat 34-36); (Surah TaHa, Ayat 131-132); (Surah Al-Anbiya, Ayat 105); Surah Al-Mumin: Introduction and (Surah Al-Mumin, Ayat 55-56); (Surah Ash-Shuara, Ayat 111); (Surah Al-Qasas, Ayat 78), (Surah Al-Qasas, Ayat 89) and the E N. thereof. and (Surah Saba, ayat 34-39) note 54-60.
