Tafsir

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 43:14

Open in Qurani

And verily, to Our Lord we indeed are to return. means, `We will return to Him after our death, and our ultimate destination is with Him.' In this Ayah, mention of earthly journeys draws attention to the journey of the Hereafter, just as elsewhere, mention of earthly provision draws attention to the importance of ensuring provision for the Hereafter, as Allah says:

وتزودوا فٳن خير الزاد التقوى

And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is the Taqwa. (2:197) And mention of earthly garments is also used to draw attention to the raiment of the Hereafter:

وريشا ولباس التقوى ذلك خير

and as an adornment; and the raiment of the Taqwa, that is better. (7:26)
