Commentary
Shahi-dAllaahu – (Allah is
witness), this evidence of Allah Almighty has been using to come regularly in
the Heavenly Scriptures. Besides this, every particle of the universe has been
testifying that none is worthy of worship save the Lord of the entire worlds.
Testimony of Divine’s Scriptures has prestige of written evidence and the
entire things of earth and sky (universe) provide reasonable evidence. As
though, both types of proofs exist (logical and written).
‘Al-malaaa-‘ikatu - (the Angles),
it means that the Angles (peace be upon them) also testify that none is worthy
of worship save Allah Almighty. As though it has been cleared too that the
Angels (themselves) (peace be upon them) sing the songs of Oneness of Allah
Almighty, who are considered by the Idolater Nations as gods and goddesses.
‘Ulul-‘ilmi - (the men of learning, the
educated, the scholars), ‘ilm means to know and understand. Knowledge is not
only the name of learning the letters and reading the books, but it is the name
of knowing the facts of things and cognition of the reality. Either it is by
meditation or by experiments and observations. Therefore, ‘ulul-‘ilmi means
those educated people who have capability to know about the facts and ability
to recognize.
In the beginning of this verse, Christians of
Syria (Najraan) were addressed, and it was proclaimed in a very well
manner about Oneness of God and by proving to be wrong the faith of divinity of
the Christ. Other matters were also discussed at that time which prevent
from believing in Oneness of Allah Almighty, for example, wealth, children and
the things of luxurious enjoyment. Then attributes of the Believers were
described, who remain firm on Right despite all these obstacles. After this,
discussion about Oneness has begun again.
What difficulty can be occurred to believe in
Oneness while Allah Almighty (Himself) is witness by means of His work (Nature)
besides His Scriptures that only He is worthy to be worshiped. Besides this His
Angles (peace be upon them) and the men of learning also testify about Oneness
of Allah Almighty. Not having belief in Oneness and standing firm on belief in
a plurality of Allah is clearly Ignorance.
Allah Almighty has explained by describing His
Virtue, “qaaa-‘imam- bil-qist” (maintaining His creation with justice)
that the talk about Expiation by Christians is untrue, because how can it be
possible that only one person is settled responsible for the sins of the entire
community and he causes to release all of them by being punished alone. On the
contrary, Allah Almighty maintains His creation with justice. He will confer
complete retaliation of the acts (good or bad) of every individual.
