Commentary
‘AR-RUSULU – (Messengers of
God Almighty), for which, the words Prophet (Rasuul, Pay-gam-bar and Nabii)
(peace be upon them) are used also. Origin of Rasuul is Rasaa-lat which
means Mission
Faz-zalNaa – (We have
caused to excel), its origin is Fazal, which means grandeur,
reverence, nobility, highness, excellence and dignity. The entire Greatness and
Excellence are in the Hand of Allah Almighty. He Bestows His blessings and
favors on whom He wishes. None can get them personally. Wealth, personal
respect, knowledge, power of stature or family background, indeed nothing is so,
with the source of which, someone may attain virtue and highness surely, except
that His Greatness is attached with the individual.
Man-
kallamAllaahu – (to whom Allah Almighty spoke), that is to say;
those Prophets (peace be upon them) with whom Allah Almighty talked directly
and conveyed His Commands as it happened with Prophet Moses (peace be upon
him).
God Almighty has
commanded in this verse: Of those Messengers, some of whom We have caused to
excel others, for instance; some Messengers (peace be upon Them) are those,
with whom He talked directly, some are those to whom, Message of Allah Almighty
was delivered by means of Angels (peace be upon them) and some Prophets are
those, who came only to bring earlier Divine Law to life. They did not come with
any new Law of religion.
It has been described in the Holy Qur‘aan at
another place: Laa Nu-farri-qu bay-na ‘aha-dim-min-hum (We
do not differentiate anyone among them). It aims that as far as, it relates to
Messenger-hood, We do not say anyone superior or junior. So, there is no
contradiction and difference between these two verses. Moreover, both the
verses are correct at their own places. Being a Muslim, we believe that since
the world has come into existence, with effect from then the Messengers and
Prophets (peace be upon them) were sent in every nation and during every time
till the Last Messenger, Muhammad (peace be upon him), they all brought the
Message of One God Almighty. Message from each of them (peace be upon them)
deserved obedience during their individual times. We believe in the truth of
those entire Messengers and Prophets (peace be upon them).
