وَلَا تُصَلِّ عَلَىٰٓ أَحَدٍ مِّنْهُم مَّاتَ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَقُمْ عَلَىٰ قَبْرِهِۦٓ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ وَمَاتُوا۟ وَهُمْ فَٰسِقُونَ
Commentary:
This verse prohibits Muslims from saying the funeral Prayer for hypocrites who are disbelievers at heart. When 9:80 was revealed, the Holy Prophet thought that it was still open to him to perform the funeral service of a hypocrite if he should so choose; and when therefore ‘Abdullah bin Ubayy died, he performed the service for him. By the present verse, however, God definitely forbade the performance of funeral service for disbelieving hypocrites. As a matter of principle, he who dies in a state of disbelief (whether he be an open disbeliever or a proved hypocrite) forfeits all claims on the prayers of the Faithful. His case is in the hands of God. He may punish or forgive him, as He may think fit. See also 9:80 above.

وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ لَّا رَيْبَ فِيهَا وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَن فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ

اس آیت میں اَلسَّاعَۃ کا لفظ ہے۔ اور اَلْ اس بات پر دلالت کرتا ہے کہ اس کے بعد کا لفظ لوگوں کے ذہنوں میں ہے۔ اس لئے ہم نے ’’وقت مقرر‘‘کے الفاظ سے ترجمہ کیا ہے۔

15:86; 18:22; 20:16; 40:60; 45:33.
Commentary:
The verse continues the theme of its predecessor and like it constitutes an inevitable conclusion to v. 6 viz. "that the Hour will certainly come and that Allah will raise up those who are in the graves." The expression "who are in the graves" may also refer to those who are spiritually dead and are waiting for a Divine Reformer to come and raise them from their graves, i.e. their spiritual death. This expression and the word الموتی (the dead) in the preceding verse may be taken as depicting two aspects of the spiritually dead people.

وَمَا يَسْتَوِى ٱلْأَحْيَآءُ وَلَا ٱلْأَمْوَٰتُ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسْمِعُ مَن يَشَآءُ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَّن فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ
The believers have been called 'the living' because by accepting the truth they receive a new life, and the disbelievers are called 'the dead' because by rejecting the truth which is the elixir of life eternal they bring spiritual death upon themselves.
It is not possible for a Prophet of God to make those who have deliberately shut their hearts and ears listen to and accept the Divine Message. Such people spiritually are as dead and defunct as those buried in the graves.
Commentary:
The words "who are in the graves" apply to the spiritually dead disbelievers. The verse means to say that it is not possible for a Prophet of God to make those who have deliberately shut their hearts and ears, to listen to and accept the Divine Message. Such people are spiritually as dead and defunct as those buried in the graves.

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَوَلَّوْا۟ قَوْمًا غَضِبَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَدْ يَئِسُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ كَمَا يَئِسَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْقُبُورِ
58:15.
مراد یہ ہے کہ جن لوگوں پر خداتعالیٰ ناراض نہیں ہوتا وہ اپنی دشمنی میں حد سے نہیں بڑھتے۔ لیکن جن پر خداتعالیٰ ناراض ہوتا ہے وہ اپنی دشمنی میں حد سے بڑھ جاتے ہیں اور اس وجہ سے ان سے تعلق رکھنا ناجائز ہو جاتا ہے۔
58:15.
The words, they (disbelievers) have indeed despaired of the Hereafter,mean that they have no faith in the Hereafter, just as they have no faith that dead will ever come to life. The word "they" may particularly apply to the Jews, since the expression, with whom Allah is wroth, has been used about the Jews in several verses of the Qur’an.
58:15.
Commentary:
The verse sums up the subject matter of the Surah, viz. that there could be no real union of hearts without community of ideals and principles and that the beliefs and ideas of believers and disbelievers are poles apart from each other. The last sentence of the verse may mean that disbelievers have despaired of the Hereafter i.e. they have absolute no faith in the Hereafter, just as they have no faith that the dead would ever again come to life. The word "they" may also refer to the Jews, since the expression "with whom Allah is wroth," has been used about the Jews in several verses of the Quran.

ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
چونکہ یہاں ثُمَّ ہے‘ جو بعض دفعہ ترتیب مع التراخی پر دلالت کرتا ہے۔ اس لئے ہم نے بریکٹ میں ’’عمر طبعی‘‘ کے الفاظ بڑھا دئے ہیں تاکہ عربی کا صحیح ترجمہ ہو جائے۔
اس سے مراد یہ ہے کہ دنیا میں تو انسان کو اس کے رشتہ دار قبر میں رکھتے ہیں۔ لیکن اصل قبر انسان کی وہ ہے جہاں اللہ تعالیٰ انسان کی روح کو رکھتا ہے۔ اس لئے ہم نے ’’موعود‘‘ کا لفظ اس جگہ بڑھا دیا ہے۔
After its departure from its physical habitat the human soul acquires a new body and an abode according to the nature of the actions which man might have done during his life on earth. That is man’s real sepulchre. It is not the pit in which his body is placed by his relatives but an abode of happiness or misery according to his spiritual condition.
Commentary:
The natural powers with which man has been endowed signify that a very high spiritual destiny awaits him. But the physical body of man is too dense for an immeasurable and unending spiritual progress. To achieve his high destiny, God has decreed death for man, so that when the human soul is freed from the trammels of its physical tabernacle it should travel on the path leading to the goal of its infinite progress.
The 'grave' in this verse does not mean the tomb to which a dead body is consigned, but the state of the soul after death.

یعنی پرانے فراعنہ کی قبریں کھود کر ان کی ممیاں فرانس‘ روس اور انگلستان پہنچا دی جائیں گی۔
100:10.
Commentary:
The verse may signify that in the latter days graves will be laid open as has been done in the case of the tombs of the ancient kings of Egypt; or it may mean that towns and monuments submerged and long forgotten would be dug out. These verses (2-5) may also refer to the great spiritual resolution brought about by the Holy Prophet. In this case "the cleaving asunder of the heaven" would signify that the gates of heaven would be thrown open and heavenly signs in support of the Holy Prophet would appear in large numbers. And "the scattering of the stars" would mean that the Companions of the Holy Prophet would spread out in the world and scatter the seeds of the Quranic Message far and wide. "The flowing forth of the rivers" would signify that the rivers of Quranic knowledge would be made to flow and would fertilize the land that had lain dry and parched for long centuries. And "the laying open of the graves" would mean that through the teachings of Islam the spiritually dead people would receive a new life and, as it were, come out of their graves. Or the verse may mean that the earth would throw out its treasures of mineral wealth.

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
贪婪及在财富、地位和名望方面想超越他人的过分俗望是人世一切烦恼和忽视追求更高人生价值的根源。人的大不幸是: 要求世俗的东西的欲望没有止境, 以致他没有工夫想到安拉或想到后世的事。他全神贯注于世俗的东西, 直至死亡降临时才发现已把他宝贵的一生浪费在毫无意义的追求中。
اس آیت میں اس طرف اشارہ ہے کہ کفار میں نیکیاں تو نہیں تھیں مگر وہ کسی نہ کسی فریب کے ذریعہ سے مسلمانوں سے بڑھنا چاہتے تھے اور اس کا نتیجہ یہ ہوتا تھا کہ وہ اپنے تصنع والے اعمال کو اصلی اعمال سمجھ لیتے تھے اور دین کی روح سے غافل ہو جاتے تھے۔
Acquisitiveness and man’s inordinate desire to outstrip others in wealth, position and prestige lie at the root of all human troubles and of the neglect of higher values of life. It is man’s great misfortune that his passion for acquiring worldly things knows no limit and leaves him no time to think of God or the Hereafter. He remains entirely engrossed in these things till death comes upon him, and then he finds that he had wasted his precious life in idle pursuits.
24:38; 48:12; 62:10.
Important Words:
التکاثر (mutual rivalry in worldly increase) is derived from کثر i.e. it was or became much, abundant, copious, great in number; it multiplied; it accumulated. تکاثروا means, they contended, one with another, for superiority in numbers. التکاثرmeans, contending with one another for superiority in numbers or property, children and men. تکاثرت أمواله means, his riches multiplied by degrees (Lane).

Against general practice, the verb الھا has not been followed by the preposition عن in this verse. This enlarges the meaning of the verb, covering, as it does, all the things that are calculated to divert man’s attention from God and not from any particular thing or object.

Commentary:
Man remains engrossed in acquiring worldly goods till death comes upon him and then he finds that he had wasted all his precious life. The verse also signifies that competition for superiority in wealth, position and numbers has led to the undoing of individuals and even of nations. Moral rather than physical death is meant here, because physical death comes uninvited, but man himself brings about his moral death. So it is not unqualified rivalry and vying with one another that is condemned here. On the contrary, believers have been exhorted in the Quran to endeavour to outstrip one another in doing good (2:149 & 35:32). It is the blind craze for worldly things, to the detriment of higher values, to which exception has been taken in this verse.
