Commentary
Maaa ‘an-zaltu – (which
I have revealed), it signifies toward Holy Qur’aan,
which was revealed on the last Prophet (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). This is the Last Holy Word of God Almighty.
Maa ma-‘a-kum – (which
you have), it aims the Holy Scripture Torah, which was revealed on the Prophet
Moses (Peace be upon Him). Its truth and religious rules are approved by
Holy Qur’aan.
The Children of Israel are the people, who have been invited
first of all to believe in Holy Qur’aan. These people were the most
famous out of the Believers of Heavenly Scripture. They used to live in the
vicinity of Madinah. This principle was also in accord with such
rule that goodness and its invitation should be begun from the relatives and
neighbors first. In the previous verse, Allah Almighty reminded them His
rewards and blessings upon them and commanded that they should fulfill their
covenant, which they had made with Him.
The covenant which is being asked to be fulfilled is, believing
in this Scripture “Holy Qur’aan”, which has been revealed on the
Last Messenger, Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam). So they should believe in It and act upon Its Instructions.
This Scripture, “Holy Qur’aan” authenticates the Principles of
their Holy Scripture also.
After this, it is being admonished that: lest you might be the
first disbelievers of the Holy Qur’aan from the people, who
know the Religion of God Almighty. As much knowledge regarding acquaintance of
the last Prophet Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa
AaliHii Wasallam) and the Truth of Holy Qur’aan you
have, no other nation has so much. Therefore, it is expected from you that you
will not become an example of infidelity and refusal for others. But as you are
being invited first out of the learned men (the persons who believe in one of
the four inspired Books of God), you will become cause of temptation for others
by believing in it first, that they admit and believe in it observing you. You
should never be afraid that if you will believe in this last Holy Word and last
Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam), you will lose your worldly dignity, influence and impression.
But contrary to it, you will see that all badness will perish due to blessings
of Islam. This world will become comfortable for you and in the next life, on
the Day of Resurrection; you will be avoided from punishment.
