Surah Ad Dukhaan ayat 39 Tafsir Quran 44:39

﴿مَا خَلَقْنَاهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ﴾
[ الدخان: 39]

44:39 We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.

We did not create them and all that is between them except with the truth that is to say We created them rightfully so that one might infer thereby Our power and Our Oneness and other matters; but most of them that is the Meccan disbelievers do not know.

In effect We have not created both of them but in conformity with truth and in agreement with reality with soundness of judgment in the choice of means and ends; but, in darkness most of them walk on and they know not, nor do they even understand

This World was created for a Wisdom Here Allah tells us of His justice, and that He is far above mere play, folly and falsehood.
This is like the Ayah: وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَآءَ وَالاٌّرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَـطِلاً ذَلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ النَّارِ ( And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them without purpose! That is the consideration of those who disbelieve! Then woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire! ) ( 38:27 ) أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَـكُمْ عَبَثاً وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لاَ تُرْجَعُونَ - فَتَعَـلَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ ( Did you think that We had created you in play, and that you would not be brought back to Us So Exalted be Allah, the True King: La ilaha illa Huwa, the Lord of the Supreme Throne! ) ( 23:115-116 ) Then Allah says: إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ مِيقَـتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ( Verily, the Day of Judgement is the time appointed for all of them ) This is the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will judge between all creatures, and He will punish the disbelievers and reward the believers. مِيقَـتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ( is the time appointed for all of them ) means, He will gather all of them, the first and the last of them. يَوْمَ لاَ يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْئاً ( The Day when a near relative cannot avail a near relative in aught, ) means, no relative will be able to help another relative.
This is like the Ayah: فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى الصُّورِ فَلاَ أَنسَـبَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلاَ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ( Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another. ) ( 23:101 ) وَلاَ يَسْـَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيماً يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ( And no friend will ask a friend (about his condition ).
Though they shall be made to see one another) ( 70:10-11 ) which means, he will not ask his brother about how he is, even though he can see him with his own eyes. وَلاَ هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ( and no help can they receive, ) means, no relative will help another, and no help will come to him from outside. إِلاَّ مَن رَّحِمَ اللَّهُ ( Except him on whom Allah has mercy. ) means, and nothing will be of any avail that Day except the mercy of Allah towards His creation. إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ( Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. ) means, he is the Almighty, with immense mercy.

(44:39) We did not create them except in Truth. But most of them do not know. *34

We did not create them except in meaning

*34) This is the second answer to their objection; it means: " Whoever denies life-after-death and the rewards and punishments of the hereafter, in fact, regards this world as a plaything and its Creator as a foolish child.
This is why he has formed the view that tnan, after raising aII sorts of the storms in the world, will end up in the dust one day and none of his good or bad acts will bear any fruit.
The fact, however, is that this universe is the creation of an AlI-Wise Creator and not of a frivolous being, and it cannot be expected from an AlI-Wise Creator that he would perform a useless and vain act. " ( For a detailed explanation, see AI-An'am: 73, Yunus: 5-6, Al-Anbiya: 16-18, AI-Mu'minun: 115, Ar-Rum: 8-9 and the corresponding E.N.'s ).

 

This World was created for a Wisdom Here Allah tells us of His justice, and that He is far above mere play, folly and falsehood.
This is like the Ayah: وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَآءَ وَالاٌّرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَـطِلاً ذَلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنَ النَّارِ ( And We created not the heaven and the earth and all that is between them without purpose! That is the consideration of those who disbelieve! Then woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire! ) ( 38:27 ) أَفَحَسِبْتُمْ أَنَّمَا خَلَقْنَـكُمْ عَبَثاً وَأَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْنَا لاَ تُرْجَعُونَ - فَتَعَـلَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ ( Did you think that We had created you in play, and that you would not be brought back to Us So Exalted be Allah, the True King: La ilaha illa Huwa, the Lord of the Supreme Throne! ) ( 23:115-116 ) Then Allah says: إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْفَصْلِ مِيقَـتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ( Verily, the Day of Judgement is the time appointed for all of them ) This is the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will judge between all creatures, and He will punish the disbelievers and reward the believers. مِيقَـتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ( is the time appointed for all of them ) means, He will gather all of them, the first and the last of them. يَوْمَ لاَ يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْئاً ( The Day when a near relative cannot avail a near relative in aught, ) means, no relative will be able to help another relative.
This is like the Ayah: فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِى الصُّورِ فَلاَ أَنسَـبَ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَلاَ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ ( Then, when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no kinship among them that Day, nor will they ask of one another. ) ( 23:101 ) وَلاَ يَسْـَلُ حَمِيمٌ حَمِيماً يُبَصَّرُونَهُمْ ( And no friend will ask a friend (about his condition ).
Though they shall be made to see one another) ( 70:10-11 ) which means, he will not ask his brother about how he is, even though he can see him with his own eyes. وَلاَ هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ ( and no help can they receive, ) means, no relative will help another, and no help will come to him from outside. إِلاَّ مَن رَّحِمَ اللَّهُ ( Except him on whom Allah has mercy. ) means, and nothing will be of any avail that Day except the mercy of Allah towards His creation. إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ ( Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful. ) means, he is the Almighty, with immense mercy.

( We created them not save with truth ) We created them only for the Truth, never for falsehood; ( but most of them ) most of the people of Mecca ( know not ) this nor believe in it.

We created them not except with truth (i.e. to examine and test those who are obedient and those who are disobedient and then reward the obedient ones and punish the disobedient ones), but most of them know not.
