SURAH ET-TEKĀSUR: CONDEMNATION OF AVARICE

Summary/Abstract: The present article offers a tafseer of surah At-Tekāsur in Bosnian language. Surah At-Tekāsur is the number 102 in the order of the Qur’an; it has eight ‘ayahs. The word surah at-tekāsur, by which the surah is named, is in the first ‘ayah. Sahabah of Muhammad a.s. called this surah Al-Maqbera. Classic commentators of the Qur’an are mainly unanimous, as per consensus of Islamic scholars, in the statement that it was revealed in Makah. The word tekāsur carries three semantic connotations: 1) desire to have more and more (material goods); 2) competition among people to have more than the others have and 3) boasting about having more than others have. This desire for having more is probably common to all people regardless of their religious or some other affiliation. After the introduction, this article relates about semantic interconnection between surah At-Tekāsur and surah Al -Qāri’a, than follows the commentary of each ‘ayah of surah At-Tekāsur; some interpretative points are given at the end of the article.
