Commentary
Bil-haqqi – (with the
truth), it aims: We (Allah Almighty) have sent You {O Muhammad (grace, glory,
blessings and peace be upon Him)} to Guide the human beings unto the Truth. It
also means that ‘You speak the truth always, produce clear proofs and bright
arguments for the Right.
Bashiirun – (a bringer
of glad-tidings), that is to say; those people, who believe and follow the
Commandments and Instructions of God Almighty and His Messenger (glory, grace,
blessings and peace be upon Him) “Muhammad (grace, glory, blessings and peace
be upon Him) is a bringer of glad-tidings of happiness for them - betterment in
this world and the Day of Resurrection as retaliation of their good deeds”.
Naziirun – (The
Warner), namely Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) warns
from bad results of evil-deeds during their present life and the Day of
Resurrection to those people, who disbelieve, deny and violate”. These two
characteristics of the Last Messenger, Muhammad (glory, grace, blessings and
peace be upon Him) are very important.
The Infidels and the Idolaters had doubts
in Prophet-hood of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (glory, grace, blessings and
peace be upon Him) and the Truth of Holy Qur’an and used to argue that if God Almighty
can talk with a Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) then
why does He not talk with us whereas we are also mankind? Or why does He not
bestow on Him {Muhammad (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him)} a
great miracle due to which the Prophet-hood and the Truth may be proved
automatically?
Replying to their objection, God Almighty
commanded: Do you ask for one miracle? We have bestowed many miracles to Our
Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him), but only those
people will believe in Him (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him) who
are truly seekers of the Truth wholeheartedly, have faith in the Truth. Those
people will not believe whose perspective is only to criticize and produce the
doubts.
Allah Almighty has commanded in this verse
to His Messenger (glory, grace, blessings and peace be upon Him): We have sent
You with the True Religion. The people, who will follow You, are Believers. For
them, You are Bringer of glad-tidings for their good works. However, those, who
will not follow You, they are Infidels, they will be thrown into the Fire of
Hell. You are Warner for them for their bad consequence. The Messenger’s duty
is only to convey the Message of God Almighty. He (glory, grace, blessings and
peace be upon Him) is not responsible of making the Infidels and Idolaters
Muslims.
