The tafsir provides detailed historical context for verses related to battles and expeditions, and firmly refutes modernist ideologies using strong scriptural evidence. It is widely regarded as an invaluable resource for understanding the Quran and countering deviant interpretations. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
118. Upon whom Allah has laid His curse, and who said to Allah, "I will surely take a fixed [157] portion of Your servants."
[157] This appointed portion refers to those people who, falling into the deception of Satan, will commit shirk with Allah and will go astray. And this appointed portion will be much more than half, as Allah Almighty has stated at another place:
﴿وَلَقَدْ ذَرَاْنَا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيْرًا مِّنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْاِنْسِ﴾
And We have created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell.
