Tafsir al-Mizan Volume 35

This volume offers commentary on five Meccan chapters: Sūrah al-Shūrā (Chapter 42), Sūrah al-Zukhruf (Chapter 43), Sūrah al-Dukhān (Chapter 44), Sūrah al-Jāthiyah (Chapter 45), and Sūrah al-Aḥqāf (Chapter 46), exploring revelation, monotheism, and the consequences of belief and disbelief.

In Sūrah al-Shūrā, ʿAllāmah reflects on revelation’s role in divine mercy and justice, highlighting the “Verse of Affection” (42:23) that enjoins love for the Prophet’s family. The chapter emphasizes sustenance (rizq) and the recognition of God’s unity.

Sūrah al-Zukhruf critiques idolatry, refutes claims of divine offspring, and contrasts worldly adornments with eternal paradise. Sūrah al-Dukhān focuses on revelation during Laylat al-Qadr, presenting the Qur’an as guidance and contrasting it with the fate of past nations.

In Sūrah al-Jāthiyah, reflections on God’s signs emphasize His oneness and the consequences of ignoring divine guidance. The theme of deeds recorded for judgment underscores accountability. Sūrah al-Aḥqāf addresses resurrection, the oneness of God, and the destruction of Hūd’s people as a warning for disbelievers.

Philosophical discussions on divine speech, free will, and justice are seamlessly integrated with historical narratives, offering a comprehensive understanding of the Qur’anic worldview. This volume provides profound insights into faith, morality, and divine guidance.
